The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 13, 2019
You all almost got a streaming of consciousness piece but I stopped myself. There are cans of worms way too big and requiring of way too much garnish and condiment. Apologies on the plurals being off but… I like the way it sounds that way. I’ve got a very big writing week coming up. Daunting. I read more
Born in East L.A. (1987, Cheech Marin)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 11, 2019
Born in East L.A. is a much lighter comedy than expected. Maybe not more than writer-director-star Cheech Marin portends—and a lot of the film’s ineffectiveness isn’t first time feature director Marin’s fault, he needed one of his four editors to have some clue about creating narrative continuity. read more

Lured (1947, Douglas Sirk)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 9, 2019
If Lured had gone just a little bit differently, it could’ve kicked off a franchise for Lucille Ball and George Sanders. He’s the high society snob, she’s the New York girl in London, they solve mysteries. But Lured isn’t their detective story; it’s Charles Coburn’s detective story, they’re read more

The Ten Commandments (1956, Cecil B. DeMille)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 7, 2019
While Yul Brynner easily gives the best performance in Ten Commandments, until the second half of the movie Anne Baxter gives the most amusing one. She's an Egyptian princess and she's going to marry the next pharaoh. The next pharaoh is either Brynner or Charlton Heston. Cedric Hardwicke read more

Warning: This post is extremely techy
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 6, 2019
My technology panics are… well, probably not legendary but certainly infamous. They’re somewhat justified at least in terms of (digital) damage; when I was nineteen or twenty, I set my last Windows desktop to do a disk defrag and went out to the movies. When I got home, the computer had a happily read more
The Scapegoat (1959, Robert Hamer)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 5, 2019
Despite Bette Davis playing a French dowager countess, The Scapegoat always feels very British. It’s probably exaggerated a little because it takes place in France, features mostly British people (save American Irene Worth) playing French people. Nicole Maurey is the only actual French person in th read more

Storm Warning (1951, Stuart Heisler)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 3, 2019
One of Storm Warning’s failings is its attempt to carefully navigate the story content so I’m just going to be lead-footed and get right to things, which probably would’ve helped the movie though not the ending. Storm Warning is about Ginger Rogers visiting sister Doris Day and witnessing the read more
