Bend of the River (1952, Anthony Mann)
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 15, 2019
Somehow Bend of the River manages to be too cluttered while running too short at ninety-one minutes. The film starts great; James Stewart is a former bad man of the West who’s trying to be a good guy and become a farmer (or rancher if he can get himself some cattle). He’s guiding a wagon train to read more

Primrose Path (1940, Gregory La Cava)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 14, 2019
Primrose Path gets fun fast. Given the film opens with nine year-old Joan Carroll stealing a neighbor’s tamales (instead of buying them) for her and her grandmother, Queenie Vassar, it sort of needs to be fun. Vassar’s the maternal grandmother, not related to despondently alcoholic dad Miles Mander read more

Sorry to Bother You (2018, Boots Riley)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 12, 2019
Sorry to Bother You has four endings. Well, more like three and a half. They’re all good enough endings, except the last one, which is truncated and just reminds how iffy the entire third act has been. Until the third act, the film is going strong. Underdeveloped but affable lead Lakeith Stan read more

Not cats
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 11, 2019
I had this little post in mind about how I don’t see our cats as children as much as these adorable and weird people you have around. I’m not sure what the human correlation would be, but even with Shaz, who we’ve had since she was a (feral) kitten, I see her more as a persnickety read more
Chungking Express (1994, Wong Kar-Wai)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 10, 2019
Chungking Express has two parts. First part is lonely young plainclothes cop Kaneshiro Takeshi counting down the days to his birthday, which is also thirty days since his girlfriend of five years dumped him. Simultaneously, sort of middle person drug trafficker Brigitte Lin loses her latest batch o read more

I suffer from the payday shopping syndrome. Got some cash, want to get something new and shiny. It’s not the best thing, but it’s far better than spending too much credit, which isn’t payday dependent. Yesterday I finally bit the Ulysses bullet and didn’t just download the app for its fourteen read more
The Trouble with Harry (1955, Alfred Hitchcock)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 8, 2019
The Trouble with Harry is very cute. It’s fine, the film’s intentionally cute, but it’s also somewhat frustrating. With the exception of the glorious Technicolor exteriors of Vermont leaves, director Hitchcock and photographer Robert Burks don’t do anything particularly interesting. John Michael read more

I made my 2019 blogging decisions, including the Comics Fondle one, which I didn’t know I hadn’t made. I’m not doing short posts on it anymore. I’m going to do as deep of a dive as I did on Love and Rockets on any issue. I have no idea what I’m reading next for it but I might stock up a bunch read more
