There Was A Crooked Man (1970) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
There Was A Crooked Man was the older actors’ attempt to cash in on film revisionism. Kirk Douglas is made up to look like the younger actors that were breaking through to the counterculture. Pl...
Prince of the City (1981) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
Prince of the City is a great Lumet movie, that has aged oddly for me. Treat Williams has never been better, but the whole nature of the film is how cops can get away with anything. When watching the ...

Quick Change was the first crime that I ever loved. As the years went on, I came to realize it’s the greatest Bill Murray movie ever made. That’s not to besmirch his work with Reitman, And...
Nomadland (2020): Life in a Poop Bucket
