3 things about Mario Bava’s THE WHIP AND THE BODY
The Whip and the Body [1963] 1. Red-hooded pallbearers. 2. “You’re a fool, Georgia!” (A housekeeper named Georgia?!) 3. Fiery coffin, curling boots.
3 things about Alfonso Cuarón’s CHILDREN OF MEN
Children of Men [2006] 1. “That’s the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it’s gone you’ll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts.” 2. Flip-flops. His ugly, battered feet. 3. Michael Caine … Continue reading
3 things about William Wyler’s WUTHERING HEIGHTS
Wuthering Heights [1939] 1. His right eye partially hidden by a lock of his hair. 2. “I’m not lovely. What I am is very brilliant. I have a wonderful brain. It enables me to be superior to myself.” 3. Deathbed … Continue reading
3 things about Greta Gerwig’s LADY BIRD
Lady Bird [2017] 1. A star named Bruce. 2. “I haven’t lied in two years.” 3. Mother and daughter driving over the same bridges at different points in time. Lovely. It would make a wonderful double feature with 20th Century … Continue reading
3 things about Gordon Douglas’s IN LIKE FLINT
In Like Flint [1967] 1. Dolphin talk. 2. “Brain and hair washing at the same time.” “Exactly.” 3. Operation Smooch.
3 things about Sean Baker’s THE FLORIDA PROJECT
The Florida Project [2017] 1. “No harm, no foul? No fowl. There’s a joke in there somewhere.” 2. She carefully washes the pony’s mane. 3. “I wish they made forks out of candy. Then you could eat the fork after … Continue reading
3 things about Jules Dassin’s THE NAKED CITY
The Naked City [1948] 1. She fetches a cup of cold tea from the kitchen. 2. J.P. McGillicuddy. 3. We hear traffic noise drifting into the room. Foreshadowing the moment when he makes a dash for the open window.
3 things about Peter Yates’s EYEWITNESS
Eyewitness [1981] 1. Floor polish foreplay. 2. Morgan Freeman’s pipe-smoking detective seems to have wandered in from a better, more interesting movie. 3. Kenneth McMillan’s piggyback ride up a flight of stairs. Ugh. Pretty bad.
3 things about Ishirô Honda’s GODZILLA (GOJIRA)
Godzilla [1954] 1. Budapest String Quartet. 2. He sheepishly tucks his tie into his jacket before continuing. 3. Radioactive trilobite.
3 things about Robert Altman’s McCABE & MRS. MILLER
McCabe & Mrs. Miller [1971] 1. “I counted ’em, there’s 52.” 2. The only time we ever really see her smile. 3. For me, what makes the finale so haunting is that there are no witnesses.
