Whenever I was a kid my parents didn’t really want me to watch wrestling.
Something I always enjoy when watching a movie is when I discover that one of the actors is famous for something other than acting.
B-MOVIES!!! I honestly haven’t really dug into B movies (no matter how much my father thinks Terrence Malick movies are B-movies)
B-movies: the oft-maligned and underrated pieces of art that are routinely shoved behind films that are deemed “better” or “the main attraction”.
To close out January, let's take a moment to appreciate the lifeblood of new year winter releases: anime exports.
Man, am I excited to talk about today’s movie! I love it, not only for its fun and earnestly unaware anarchic style, but also for the career it quietly jump-started and because of what it would soon inspire.
I have a HUGE soft spot for M. Night Shyamalan. Many of his films, such as The Sixth Sense, The Village, Signs, and Split, were some of the earliest “scary” movies that I was exposed to.
Yes, I am coming in hot, but I really do believe this is a pitch-perfect film in every sense of the word.
We are doing Box Office Bombs Week 2: Electric Boogaloo and I’ve chosen The Matrix Resurrections, the final installment in probably my favorite franchise of all time.
Hey, We are taking the week off. This is the first time since launching this email in August of 2022 that we have not posted.
As we close out this week let’s discuss Mann’s calling card film, the movie people will always start with when discussing him. A film that is both incredible and quietly super influential. Today we’re talking about Heat.
Like Caleb, Michael Mann has largely escaped my Filmography Net when it comes to directors and I’ve only seen two of his films: Heat and today’s film, Collateral.
