The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 16, 2019
It’s sort of the end of the first week of Visual Reflux. I soft-launched with the Captain Marvel post last weekend (a few days before Stop Button got it) and I’ve been pretty good about getting up a post a day. Until today. Well, until yesterday. I was a little burned out yesterday, which—as I read more
Hard Surfaces (2017, Zach Brown)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 16, 2019
Hard Surfaces is pretty thin. Sometimes it’s translucently thin. The film itself never has any depth, but fairly regularly the actors at least show they could give it some depth, if it weren’t for the thinness. Ostensibly the film’s well-meaning, but that quality comes off as fake. Like writer read more

Sum Up | Luise Rainer: An Incomplete Filmography
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 14, 2019

Approximately. Austrian Rainer made three German-language films in the early thirties before Hollywood—M read more

Robocop: Last Stand #1 (of 8)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 14, 2019
Robocop: Last Stand is, conceptually, a tough sell. It’s a comic book adaptation of a movie no one liked (Robocop 3) when it came out twenty years before the first issue of Last Stand dropped. It’s ostensibly based on Frank Miller’s original screenplay, but when a different publisher did a “based read more

Room (2015, Lenny Abrahamson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 13, 2019
Room is the story of a woman (Brie Larson) and her son (Jacob Tremblay) who, after seven years in captivity by rapist Sean Bridgers (Tremblay being born as a result of one of those rapes), escape and have to adjust to the outside world. The film is from Tremblay’s perspective, with some occasional read more

Captain Marvel (2019, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 11, 2019
Captain Marvel is difficult to encapsulate. Its successes are many, some of its achievements truly singular (the CG-de-aging of Sam Jackson, combined with Jackson’s “youthful” performance, is spectacular), and there’s always something else. Even when you get past all the major things—first read more

Today I decided to also fold Summing Up into Visual Reflux. Until today, it hadn’t really occurred to me. One about the seven to ten blogs I’ve started after starting The Stop Button in 2004? I didn’t name the most successful one. Comics Fondle . I didn’t name it. I didn read more
The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957, Jack Arnold)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 9, 2019
The Incredible Shrinking Man is an enormous feat. It succeeds thanks to director Arnold, writer Richard Matheson, and star Grant Williams. Arnold’s arguably got the greatest successes; he carefully lays the groundwork for the film’s eventual startling visuals. To get to the startling ones, Arnold’s read more
