The Perfect Candidate
The Perfect Candidate Saudi Arabia (2019) Dir. Haifaa Al-Mansour Women in the Middle East have few freedoms as we know, but one of the worst things to hinder them is a lack of voice. It would take a very brave woman to stand up and want to be counted among her male peers to represent […]

The Burton Theory
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I know it’s not Halloween yet, but it really is because all of October is spooky season for me, so we’re kicking off celebrations in the best possible way ever: Tim Burton. He is, for me, the father of all things spooky, and the reason that I started to look into more nontraditional […]

Mabel Gets the Push
MABEL AT THE WHEEL (still 1914!) marks an interesting, indeed key point in Chaplin’s career. He’d been at least somewhat quarrelsome with his directors up to this point. On this film, he simply refused to play a scene the way his director and lead actor Mabel Normand saw it, and production ground to a halt. […]

Movie Review: Victoria And Abdul
As I have been intrigued about the history of Queen Victoria, this movie poster attracted my attention. Themes 1) racial prejudice: Because of his skin colour and religion, Abdul was looked down by everyone in the royal household, including the staff. The more they looked down and excluded him, the more […]

Film Review: Disobedience (2017)
I am usually attracted to any film starring Rachel Weisz. Not only is she very nice to look at, she can act too. The second thing that appealed to me about this film is its North London setting, in the Jewish Orthodox area that I know quite well from my life in London. Weisz plays […]

Before Comedy was King
An evening of Laurel without Hardy and Hardy without Laurel sounded uncertain — I was reminded of the cheap tapes and DVDs that would package together whatever low-quality public domain bits they could scrape together and publish, without a shred of honest, as “The Best of Laurel and Hardy.” But, viewing as an amateur historian, […]

Horror Film Review: Population 436
Hi, and welcome to the 100th remake of The Wicker Man. In this version from 2006, our victim is played by Jeremy Sisto. He’s a good actor but he’s no Nicolas Cage. He played Steve Kady, who works for the U.S. Census Bureau so let’s all take a moment to boo the federal government. Booooo! […]
