Harold and Maude (1971)

I don't watch much in the way of romance movies. It's one of those genres I have a major blindspot for, like teen movies or dance movies not about break dancers in the 1980s. Hell, I've seen more episodes of Manimal than I have some of these genres, and there's only eight of those. Why … Continue reading Harold and Maude (1971) →

Scum (1979)

I watch a surprising amount of prison movies. It's not that I have any special affinity towards prison, but the setting makes for an easy method to tell tales of violence, drama, and survival against harsh odds often imposed by other people. Prison makes for an exploitative arena, though the films that focus on it, … Continue reading Scum (1979) →

They Came to Rob Las Vegas (1968)

This movie is about a bunch of poorly-dubbed European actors who get together to rip off an armored car service as an act of revenge for a guy's brother. Unfortunately, they don't realize that they're also ripping off La Cosa Nostra, who happen to be involved in the armored car business, while the US Treasury … Continue reading They Came to Rob Las Vegas (1968) →

Smart Money (1931)

Despite being two of the greatest gangster icons of the 1930s at Warner Bros, Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney only made one film together, in 1931. Released six months after Robinson's classic Little Caesar and three months after Cagney's classic The Public Enemy, this movie focuses on Robinson as a small town barber with … Continue reading Smart Money (1931) →

Crossfire (1947)

Billed as another film noir, this movie is actually a drama that focuses on anti-Semitism but makes a larger argument about hating others because they are different. And it hammers in that message with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The year is 1947, World War 2 is over, and soldiers have returned home but … Continue reading Crossfire (1947) →

Wakey Wakey (2012)

Imagine you are narcoleptic. Now imagine your sister is a sensual goth lady with a thing for death photography, your parents are strangely absent, you can't tell whether you're awake or dreaming, and your world was imagined by David Lynch. Now...imagine you have the hots for your sister. That's Wakey Wakey, a bizarre yet alluring … Continue reading Wakey Wakey (2012) →
