Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019, Jon Watts)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 6, 2019
Spider-Man: Far From Home spends so much of its runtime being a constant delight, the first sign of trouble passes. Something where director Watts needs to connect doesn’t connect, only it doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t seem like it needs to connect too hard. Then the third act is this read more

Hello Down There (1969, Jack Arnold)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 5, 2019
Hello Down There is a family comedy. Its target audience is families who want to see a sexy mom Janet Leigh and sexless teenagers. I think it’s for dads who somehow got stuck taking their tweens to the movies in the late sixties? When the movie starts, it almost seems like Leigh’s going to play read more

Wonder Boys (2000, Curtis Hanson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 3, 2019
Wonder Boys has a very messy third act. The film takes place over a weekend, Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon; it’s the annual writers conference at an unnamed Pittsburgh university, which kicks off some of the film’s events, lines up some other ones, but is really just an excuse for exposition read more

The Heiress (1949, William Wyler)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 1, 2019
My favorite moment in The Heiress is when Olivia de Havilland has a slight tremor, watching someone walk away after she’s just told them off. It’s this fantastic glimpse into her character. The film has something of a double twist ending, so it’s going to be hard to talk around various spoilers read more

Hungry Hill (1947, Brian Desmond Hurst)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 30, 2019
I have never read Hungry Hill: The Novel, but even before I finished watching Hungry Hill: The Film, I’d decided it’s one of the worst novel-to-film adaptations. It’s impossible know what point novel author Daphne Du Maurier was trying to make but it didn’t come through in the film. If she was read more

It Happened Tomorrow (1944, René Clair)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 28, 2019
At first blush—with the way too obvious exception of Jack Oakie—It Happened Tomorrow seemingly has all the parts needed for success. Seemingly. Dick Powell’s an affable lead; only the role requires no heavy-lifting, which is problematic considering he spends much of the film in one mortal danger read more
