Classic Films in Focus: BLANCHE FURY (1948)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 27, 2023
Of all the films I have watched so far in the Criterion Channel's Gaslight Noir collection, Blanche Fury (1948) is the darkest, even though it's also the brightest thanks to its use of gorgeous Technicolor. This adaptation of the 1939 novel by Marjorie Bowen (under the pseudonym Joseph Shearing) emp read more
The Sound of Fury – Try and Get Me (1950)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 17, 2022
The Sound of Fury opens with a kind of portent. A demonstrative street preacher yells out at the pedestrians walking by to “Prepare to meet thy God and Repent of their sins.” He pretty much gets trampled with all his pamphlets ending up on the ground in a sea of humanity. It’s rea read more
Desert Fury (1947): Small Town Melodrama in Technicolor
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 27, 2021
The draw to Desert Fury must begin with its intriguing cast running the range of personalities. John Hodiak and Wendell Corey (in his film debut) are driving into town. There’s this sense that their relationship is familiar but they feel like out-of-towners, somehow bringing a ting of noirish read more
The Divine Fury (2019, Kim Joo-hwan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 12, 2019
The Divine Fury is a very bad film. It’s not poorly made; director Kim is mediocre, Cho Sang-yun’s photography is good, Koo Ja-wan’s score is fine. Yes, the editing is wanting, but often more because Kim’s mediocre than anything else. Like the big fight scene at the end? The big, very bad, not read more

"The Fury" Ups the Ante on Teenage Alienation
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Dec 9, 2016
Kirk Douglas watches his son get abducted.
Brian DePalma has made better movies than The Fury (1978), but none that can match it for pure entertainment and craftsmanship. It shows a director, at the peak of his powers, layering science fiction and teen alienation over a conventional suspense plot. read more

Fúria / Fury (1936)
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Jun 11, 2016
Fúria / Fury (1936) Às vezes precisamos de um soco no estômago. Um soco metafórico, obviamente: algo que nos tire da zona de conforto, que nos incomode, que nos deixe insatisfeitos com nós mesmos. Isso é possível com muitos filmes. Isso aconteceu comigo vendo o primeiro filme feito por read more

This film is an intense, fun and sprawling modern epic that lands us in a crazy, yet surprisingly beautiful post apocalyptic world. Usually, I like most best pictu read more
