Let's talk about how much of an influence Tim Powers' book ON STRANGER TIDES was on the creation of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies. Jack and Elizabeth, undead pirates, curses and magic...this book created the world way back in 1988.

There's a moment in Michael  when a 25-year-old Michael Jackson is confronted in his bedroom at the Jackson family home by his overbearing, abusive father, Joseph. Recognizing that Michael has outgrown the family band, the patriarch and architect of the Jackson 5 wants the newly-crowned "King of Pop" to tour with the Jacksons one more time so he can capitalize on his son's success and keep the gravy train going. When Michael hesitates, Joseph says (I'm paraphrasing) "what do you want to do, surround yourself with people who will only say yes to you?" The scene then holds for a few moments without anyone speaking. The implication is clear: that's exactly what Michael wants. This is the only moment in the entire film that features any sort of objectivity about Michael Jackson and hints that he may have been complicit in the eventual decline of his career amid controversy and medical issues that were caused, in part, by heavy prescription drug use given...

  I would love to say that Old Shatterhand (1964), the first movie included in Eureka's Karl May at CCC box set, is a classic. For me, it falls in line with most other Euro Westerns in having beautiful cinematography and good characters, but not a lot for those characters to do.  Old Shatterhand slightly predates Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars by about six months. As such, it lacks all of the pop opera sensibilities that would very soon come to dominate the Euro Western format. Instead, this film seems to be chasing big Hollywood spectacle in the tradition of earlier 1960s westerns like The Magnificent Seven , with widescreen vistas and an emotional orchestral score.  The problem is that the characters don't really have anything to do. Trying to summarize what the movie is actually about is a challenge. It follows the relationship between a German traveler who has befriended an Indian Chief, Winnetou, in the American West. There are some bad guys who hurt people, ...

The majority opinion seems to be that Project Hail Mary  is a near-perfect cinematic experience. "The first truly great movie of 2026," reads the headline from various cinematic pundits and online outlets. There's an adoration associated with it that we rarely see post-pandemic. It seems to work for just about everyone, but I find myself in the minority in thinking that the movie is momentarily pleasing but ultimately fails to fly. I think part of its success is that it's entirely inoffensive, carefully crafted to appeal to the widest market possible with 1) a main character who reflects the weariness of our current times but rises above it, 2) a cute (and marketable) alien sidekick, and 3) a story that has lots of emotional twists. It's the kind of thing general movie audiences eat up. Because the average person only goes to the movie theater four or less times per year, they want those experiences to pack in everything they want in a single package: big visuals,...
