It's a very fine film, though terribly sad. A bit of a one-off in Its depiction of the great Inspector though.

Extraordinary movie and a great example of a remake far surpassing the original.

Walter J. Sheldon was the ghost writer for this one, apparently 😁

Solid thriller with a fantastic cast.

Is the John Wick series less about assassins and more about dog lovers? My amazing birthday buddy, Professor Stacey Abbott (@profsaabbott.bsky.social), takes me on a walk on the canine side at Fedora.

Never could get on board with this one. Too grotesque, too silly.

An extraordinary film - Bava and Lee at their considerable best.

I was delighted to be able to talk all things John Wick on the @tippingmyfedora.bsky.social podcast. So much to talk about from fight choreography, stunts, Hong Kong hero movies, dogs, art direction, guest stars, and the star presence that is Keanu Reeve. For anyone who loves John Wick.

Is Basic Instinct's Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) a god-like manipulator or just a misunderstood mystery author? Rebecca McCallum of Talking Hitchcock (@talkinghitchpod.bsky.social) figures it out.

Such a great film

Possibly his best film but certainly neither his best role nor his best performance.

Is Nick Curran from Basic Instinct the dumbest cop in Neo Noir? Join me and Rebecca McCallum, host of Talking Hitchcock (@talkinghitchpod.bsky.social), as we argue his demerits.

Out now! Writer, Zach Vasquez, joins me on the latest episode of the Boxing Movie Podcast to discuss Diggstown (1992). Both a boxing movie and a con movie, with a brilliant cast - James Woods, Bruce Dern, Louis Gossett Jnr and a very young Heather Graham.

Rebecca McCallum, the ebulient host of Talking Hitchcock (@talkinghitchpod.bsky.social), works to reclaim the erotic thriller from the DVD bargain bin in our podcast devoted to Verhoeven's Basic Instinct.

Also makes interesting use of the international elements from the original novel that were left out of VILLAGE.

Very proud of Wrack and Ruin: The Rubble Film at DEFA. It collects some of the earliest and most important East German films, all made in the immediate aftermath of WWII. Producing this box involved many, many hours of digging through the DEFA / PROGRESS Film archives – all of them worth it.
