”Smith resides in a creative mausoleum of his own making, writing movies that aren’t just movies about other movies, they’re movies about other Kevin Smith movies. In Clerks III, the afterlife is depicted as a cruddy multiplex screening the first two Clerks films on an eternal loop, a purgatory to which followers of this once-promising career may feel already condemned.” – North Shore Movies, 09/11/2022
Had a wonderful time with my dear friend Jen Johans discussing the life and career of Jack Nicholson. The five films we focused on were Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Shining, Terms Of Endearment and The Crossing Guard, along with plenty of anecdotes and asides about the Method to his madness and the role his Jack persona plays in the popular imagination. – Watch With Jen, 09/09/2022
“Antonioni likes to keep his actors turned away from us. He denies the emotional access most filmmakers labor to provide, forcing us to instead find meaning in the blocking and bodily juxtapositions. So much screen time is spent studying Vitti and Moreau’s bare backs, if there’s such thing as a shoulder blade fetish community they’ll give this film five stars.” – Crooked Marquee, 09/02/2022
“The series is focused on introducing audiences to the most notorious of nocturnal blockbusters, from back when people first started getting groovy at the movies after hours. It’s a lineup of cult classics that Professor Anastasio hopes will be ‘a beacon for weirdos,’ inviting a whole new class to come out on weekend nights and let their freak flags fly.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 09/01/2022
