Sum Up | F⁴: Five Favorite Fifties Films
The Stop Button Posted by on May 16, 2019
From Diner (1982); written by Barry Levinson; set in 1959. Growing up, I always had a negative impression of the 1950s (as far as film was concerned–it wasn’t until later I got a negative impression of reality in the 1950s). Anyway, that negative impression of fifties films has changed read more
Thistles and Thorns (2018, Kalie Acheson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 15, 2019
Thistles and Thorns opens with a girl (Madison Vance) going into a forest preserve after school. Vance is practically beaming as she does, which doesn’t initially make sense—when she’s walking on the street—but does once she’s in the forest, looking around at all the nature. She goes to a read more

The Punisher #5, In the Beginning, Part 5 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on May 15, 2019

That resolution gives way to the female CIA agent showing up and attacking the mobsters, saving her boss, distracting the goons from Frank, which gives Micro the chance to loose him. The resulting action sequence is read more

Miss Grant Goes to the Door (1940, Brian Desmond Hurst)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 13, 2019
Miss Grant Goes to the Door is a rather well-executed propaganda short. There’s an air raid and two British sisters prepare to go to the shelter. Mary Clare is the noncommittal one, who wants to go back to bed, who needs to get her sewing before she can go to the basement. She even turns on the lig read more

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 11, 2019
