Really proud of this new essay I wrote on Movie Mezzanine. It regards the original 1927 silent epic, Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, notes its heavy influence on sci-fi over the years, and then brings it all full circle with an analysis on how it pertains to Rintaro’s 2001 animated film of the same name.

Enemy is a really strange and creepily mysterious psychological thriller. Read my full thoughts on the film on Movie Mezzanine.

New review is up on Movie Mezzanine. This one is of a fairly decent if fairly forgettable Israeli political thriller/character drama. At the very least, it has a hell of an ending. Click here for the full review on Movie Mezzanine.

The horrors never stop. The horrors of war, the horrors of Lovecraft, the horrors of airplane security…well maybe that one’s stretching it a bit. We’ve got reviews of The Wind Rises, Non-Stop, Stranger by the Lake, The Rocket, the extended edition of Anchorman 2, Strider, and more True Detective geeking. Also, Christopher can’t sleep anymore after the horrifying visions of the elder ones in Recover Search and Rescue Simulation. No ankles, no dancing.
