James Caan died about a month ago. Soon after I saw a few film people I respect on Twitter talking about Thief (1981). I'd never heard of...

The term 'non-stop thrill ride' is overused in describing movies, whether it appears in trailers or wherever else. It's untrue in...

What do you think about when you hear King Arthur? There's the sword in the stone where Arthur's worth and lineage are proven. His grand...

This time of year, in the lead-up to Easter (aka Lent), I always seem to hear about The Prince of Egypt. I'd never seen the 1998...

Earlier this week I stumbled upon Apollo 13 (1995) on YouTubeTV while looking for something to just have on. I planned to be doing other...

I intended to write this before the film came out. Alas, whatever, it wasn't meant to be. I've been a fan of Dune since first reading the...

My wife and I finally watched 1917 last weekend and I can't stop thinking about it. If not already apparent I like writing about...

I read a lot as a kid, certainly more than I do now. In 8th and 9th grade I crushed most of the then-current main Tom Clancy novels....
