He and other directors would gladly push the plunger. Merry Christmas my wise and learned friend. Take care.

OMG! My bad, Chris. I confused Nolan's work with Villeneuve. How stupid. I don't know what I was thinking. Glad you caught it.

I saw your posts on Facebook and am following up on them. Thanks for the heads up. What do you hear from Oscar? Oh, yes... happy holidays; all of them. Please take care if you go out. My life this...

Privately, he called or referred to "Dune" as "the best thing I've ever done." No wonder he's upset about having to release it online. You and I both know that film belongs in a theater, especially...

Merry Christmas... still worried about January 6th and these Special Councils he's creating. He's so mean spirited and vengeful. I think he's planning something evil.

I wish I knew what he plans as even today, at the virus press conference, he still claimed he won and planned on taking office next year. It's December 8th, 34 days after the election, and this is...

You and I both admire Pauline Kael. As a teen and later as a college student, we ran to the newsstand for the latest New Yorker to read her film reviews. As a writer, I'm certain she felt more akin...

So I think I was a little more impressed than you were. We did like some of the same parts. The cinematography is gorgeous. Considering all of the controversy with Pauline Kael, I believe the film...

Mank

Directed by David Fincher

Herman Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman), known more for his contributions to major screenplays than for penning an original, is tasked by Orson Welles (Tom Burk) to write...

I was a huge Zappa fan back in the early 1970's and even liked some of his later more commercial stuff like "Dirty Love." Great review, Chris. Look forward to seeing this.

It's so apparent what he values. He was more interested in the Dow Jones this week than the misery of Americans who are suffering. Disgusting.

I thought it represented a very good depiction of what happened at the time. They always employ dramatic license and that's to be expected. That Cohen, who is already outspoken, should play Hoffman...

I remember following this in the Tribune, almost every day. I was there... in Grant Park, on (I think it was) August 28, 1968... I suppose I could Google it but I'm doing this from memory. We were...

Hey, Johann. How are ya? Manage to get through this chaos? Every time I see a reference to Stanley Kubrick on my YouTube feed, I think of you. Hang in there, buddy.

I wonder why "They shall not grow old" wasn't nominated for an Oscar? I believe its one of the greatest documentary films of all time.

Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers....

I feel sorry for director, producer and writer J. J. Abrams. He must have cut over an hour's worth of scenes from the film in order to bring it in on time (or what...

Ditto Oscar's comments. I "keep up" with contemporary cinema thanks in most, if not all, part to you Chris. I read your posts often and marvel at the depth of your insights. I wish more film critics...

When I attended film school in the 1970's, they placed a large emphasis on European directors (Fellini, Bergman, Godard, Renoir, Lean, etc), some Japanese directors (Kurosawa), and very few American...

Evidently Olivia de Havilland hated working with Ralph Richardson, but wouldn't elaborate on why. She always does one of those "knowing" smiles and stares at the interviewer. I wonder how many takes...
