Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure (1959, John Guillermin)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 27, 2019
Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure is a fairly solid action thriller. Tarzan (genial, musclebound Gordon Scott) is hunting nemesis Anthony Quayle through the jungle. The movie opens with Quayle and his crew robbing an African settlement. They’re after the dynamite but they end up killing a couple people. read more
Evil (2019) s01e03 – 3 Stars
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 27, 2019
If it never does anything else, “Evil” was probably worth it just for this John Glover performance. It’s John Glover as a brilliant theatre director who’s a tad eccentric and has gotten to be mean in addition to it. Dascha Polanco (from “Russian Doll”) is the one who brings them the case; read more

A Tattered Web (1971, Paul Wendkos)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 25, 2019
For its sub-genre of TV movie, A Tattered Web is pretty great. It’s a dirty cop story, only the dirty cop—Lloyd Bridges—is only a dirty cop because he’s trying to protect himself from a murder change and he’s only trying to protect himself from a murder charge so he doesn’t upset his daughter read more

Evil (2019) s01e02 – 177 Minutes
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 25, 2019
“Evil” doubles down on the debunking of magic this episode. This time it’s about a miracle, not a possession. The heroes are looking into a girl being pronounced dead then coming back to life after a priest whispers to her. Dakin Matthews plays the priest. It’s a small part but it’s nice to read more

Evil (2019) s01e01 – Pilot
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 24, 2019
I’ll just say it now. “Evil”’s religious politics are either going to get it in a lot of trouble or they’re going to do some “Heaven is for Real” shit. It’s going to be one or the other. And the pilot really makes it seem like it’s going to be the former, but not in any daring way; read more

Black Orpheus (1959, Marcel Camus)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 23, 2019
There’s a lot to love about Black Orpheus. Director and co-writer Camus does a bunch of great stuff, just not when it comes to how he and Jacques Vito adapt the legend part. Orpheus is about, you know, Orpheus (Breno Mello), who is now a Brazilian trolley car driver slash musician slash dancer, and read more

The Flash (2014) s06e03 – Dead Man Running
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 23, 2019
Congratulations, show, I’m less interested in Indiana Jones Wells than I was Sherlock Holmes Wells. Make better choices with Tom Cavanagh; he’s the show’s second secret weapon (first is Jesse L. Martin, even now); don’t make us wait until halfway through the season to actually like whatever read more

The Punisher #36, Barracuda, Part 6 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 22, 2019
Turns out the big problem with Barracuda isn’t going to be Barracuda not being a great villain or the Wall Street betrayal arc not creating great ones either, but Ennis not really having a finish for Frank. Sure, he’s got a concussion and he’s outgunned, but his big plan in this issue doesn’t read more
Tea Party (1965, Charles Jarrott)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 21, 2019
Tea Party opens with Vivien Merchant getting a job at a toilet bowl company. The second or third shot of Party is a toilet on display. Strikingly weird without the context; director Jarrott and editor Raoul Sobel are enthusiastic about the visual possibilities without really being any good at them. read more
