Strikes, Spares, and Spoilers Galore. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. I keep thinking about the dogs in this film, how Jacques Tati the director makes them the stand-in for Mr. Hulot the character when he’s not around. They are guileless, curious, carefree things, and they don’t always know the destruction they leave in their wake. In the opening of Mon Oncle. There is also a dog at the beginning of that movie, lazily blocking the road leading into the tiny vacation town. There’s a moment in Mon Oncle. Likewis...

Strikes, Spares, and Spoilers Galore. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. At the top of his lungs, but is completely unaware of the cultural reference. Together they form an act suitable for a particularly patient southern Vaudeville circuit. These two are cut from the same cloth that normally gives us Step Brothers. All the Real Girls. The movie has its moments of internal illogic – why aren’t the guys fired for their moment of drunken, yellow-lined road doodles? Thursday, August 15, 2013. Portman in Black Swan.

HornakWatchlist: January 2013

Strikes, Spares, and Spoilers Galore. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. If the legitimacy of the movie were to be found in the furrowed, ever-earnest brow crease of Leonardo DiCaprio, then it is legitimate in spades. His forehead, the score, the editing, all work in overdrive to make you take it all seriously. I kept wishing for something a little more leavened with - though it's a stretch for this filmmaker - a Tati-like amusement. Outside of the other obvious filmic antecedents like Eternal Sunshine. Fortunat...

He goes as far back in my memory as no one besides family and, perhaps, Charles Schulz – my other childhood hero. Every birthday when I was a kid, I had a secret wish that my parents would arrange for Harryhausen to make a surprise visit. My mind would have been blown! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Strikes, Spares, and Spoilers Galore. Thursday, July 7, 2016. ADMIT ONE: HARVEY (1950). Admit One is a series of brief confessions/reactions to finally seeing movies any film nerd should've already seen.]. For retro-informing my take on his character. Or maybe I can blame the last sixty-plus years of culture moving away from embracing the tipsy, Thin Man. The other characters that they’re. The ones tip-toeing around his. I guess my boiled-down bottom line is this: what I got from Harvey. Isn’t R...
