The Scapegoat (1959, Robert Hamer) (3)
The Stop Button Posted by 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) (2)
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

The Good Earth (1937, Sidney Franklin) (2)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 1, 2019
For maybe the first ninety minutes of The Good Earth, it seems like the most interesting thing to talk about is going to be how the filmmakers were able to make the lead characters in the film appear sympathetic while they were being, frankly, un-American. It makes sense, since the main characters read more

The Emperor’s Candlesticks (1937, George Fitzmaurice) (2)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 30, 2019
The Emperor’s Candlesticks starts with an exceptional display of chemistry from Robert Young and Maureen O’Sullivan. They’re at the opera, it’s the late nineteenth century, it’s a masked costume ball, Young is a Grand Duke dressed as Romeo, and O’Sullivan is the sun. Then it turns out O’Sullivan read more

Robocop: Last Stand #8 (of 8)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 30, 2019
Robocop: Last Stand #8 screams behind-the-scenes story. It’s got a new writer, on issue eight of an eight issue limited, but it’s also got no mention of Frank Miller. Besides the narrative—which loosely follows the previous seven issues but could also be seen entirely as a follow-up to Robocop read more

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 28, 2019
Not to be too obvious, but I really wasn’t expecting a twist ending for The Maltese Falcon. But only because I’ve… read the book, seen the 1941 version, seen spoofs of it; I sort of figured I’d be able to guess the plot turns. And I did, right up until the end, when Falcon shows its been doing read more

Robocop: Last Stand #7 (of 8)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 28, 2019
This issue of Last Stand has me wishing I had been timing how long the comic took to read. It’s an all action issue. There’s Robocop versus Japanese cyborgs, good guys at OCP trying to survive slash beat the “suit” villain (which gives Last Stand’s sidekicks more to do than Robo sidekicks read more
