Picture In Lieu Of Anything Intelligent To Say
Read post

I am somewhat in awe of the genre of films which can only be called Fairy Tales For Grown-Ups. The City Of Lost Children is one of my favourite films, and is clearly a fairy tale which cannot be seen by anyone under fifteen. And so too (up to a point[…]

Read post

Green screen effects and obvious quarter-size boat model outfitted with Bogie and Hepburn dolls going through what was probably a small creek somewhere were laffable but the movie generates such goodwill that it almost felt right that Huston would[…]

Read post
