Sum Up | Clearing Moorings: James Horner and the Wrath of Khan
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 21, 2019
It’s impossible to imagine Wrath of Khan without the James Horner score. When Star Trek II came out in 1982, it was the third of the late seventies, early eighties sci-fi franchises. Star Wars and Superman were both looking forward to their third films in 1982, while Trek was recovering from its tr read more

The Song of Styrene (1959, Alain Resnais)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 19, 2019
The Song of Styrene is gorgeous. The way director Resnais showcases the plastic press-styrene becomes plastic through chemical processes (Song of is an industrial promotional film)—it’s a solitary object, removed from the factory setting and just amazing and new looking. Even when something’s read more

The Punisher #12, Kitchen Irish, Part 6 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 18, 2019
This issue, the last in the arc, starts without a title page or credits, which makes it almost suspenseful to see if we’re ever going to find out what happened with the art. Because the art at the beginning of the issue, with the Napper French resolution, is a lot better than the art’s been for read more
Triangle (2009, Christopher Smith)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 17, 2019
Triangle suffers. It suffers from a bad script, it suffers from wanting performances, it suffers… bad hair continuity. There’s just something off about lead Melissa George’s bangs. Not just she doesn’t seem to acknowledge when they’re in the way, but when she turns around (in an obvious cut read more

The Punisher #11, Kitchen Irish, Part 5 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 17, 2019
Fernandez’s art goes from where it was on the lacking scale last issue to much worse this issue. And someone else noticed, because Dean White’s color work now includes giving the walls textures in addition to doing all the perspective on Fernandez’s faces. It’s a bad turn. And most of it comes read more
The Punisher #9, Kitchen Irish, Part 3 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 16, 2019
Fernandez’s art is so underwhelming the entire issue feels like it’s incomplete. Like it’s storyboards for the actual comic. After the opening shoot out, which Fernandez entirely flubs, it’s a talking heads issue and instead of expressions, Fernandez uses a lot of shadows. Static faces and shadows. read more
The Mind of Mr. Soames (1970, Alan Cooke)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 15, 2019
The Mind of Mr. Soames is preternaturally gentle (which, getting ahead of myself, is kind of the point) but it’s always a surprise how much more gentle it can get. The film doesn’t forebode or foreshadow, even though doing either wouldn’t just be predictable, it might even be appropriate given read more

Run Silent Run Deep (1958, Robert Wise)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 14, 2019
Run Silent Run Deep runs a little short. Just when the film has the most potential does it sort of shrug and finish up real quick. There’s a third act reveal and it’s a good one, but it’s not good enough the movie can end on it. Especially not after it’s just had such a strong second act. Burt read more
