Hello Destroyer (2016, Kevan Funk)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 22, 2019
With Hello Destroyer, writer and director Funk spares down a character study. He saps the action from it–and there’s a lot of potential action, as the character the film studies is a rookie pro hockey player (Jared Abrahamson). Abrahamson’s a quiet loner who fits in well enough wi read more

Recorded Live (1975, S.S. Wilson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 21, 2019
Recorded Live is a student film. So director, writer, and animator Wilson’s flat composition gets some wide latitude. He’s got this silly slapstick score on a sound picture, with John Goodwin getting hired to work at an already strange-sounding TV studio only to arrive there and discover a sack read more

Three-feet thick
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 21, 2019
I really need to do something with Summing Up‘s theme. It bothers me. It’s been a nightmare so far. Possibly because I decided to start blogging on it again so soon before I did. I still remember when it was fun to set up a blog for anything. The ease of it, which still seems to be part read more

The Purchase Price (1932, William A. Wellman)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 20, 2019
For most of its seventy-ish minute run time, The Purchase Price does really well with the way it does summary. It does so well it never even seems possible the film’s just going to welch on everything in the third act… but rather unfortunately, it does. The big problem is how the film–specifically read more

Love and Rockets #49 (November 1995)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 19, 2019
On the inside front cover, there’s an announcement Love and Rockets #49 is the penultimate issue. Both Bros embrace it, but very, very differently. Beto has this exceedingly disturbing and self-loathing series of short strips, usually starring himself (or an obvious analog). There’s some great art read more
The Sugarland Express (1974, Steven Spielberg)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 18, 2019
After setting up Goldie Hawn and William Atherton as the protagonists, Sugarland Express takes about an hour to get back to them. Hawn and Atherton have an amazing setup–he’s about to get out of prison and has been transferred to pre-release. Hawn comes to visiting day but to break him out. She’s read more

If it’s not asking too much
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 17, 2019
Back in the days of pretending media piracy on the Internet wasn’t really piracy so much as… what the Internet was meant to do, I came across the Jon Brion-produced version of Fiona Apple’s Extraordinary Machine. I had no idea what I’d gotten, because I was trying to get the read more
The Buccaneer (1938, Cecil B. DeMille)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 16, 2019
Even if you give The Buccaneer a lot of its historical absurdities and classic Hollywood whitewashing, even if you give it a motley crew of murdering (but not raping, good family men) pirates getting giddy and doing a singalong while they row themselves through the bayou to fight for Andrew Jackson read more
