Interstellar’s Most Enduring Quality Is What People Used to Hate About It
Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi spectacle is fascinating precisely because of what so many pegged as its fatal flaw in 2014: its unabashed emotionality.

INTERSTELLAR is back in theaters, so of course I wrote about it. www.vulture.com/article/inte...

Vinegar Syndrome have just announced this new 4k of Dario Argento's STENDHAL SYNDROME, in my mind his most important and most underrated film and the movie that inspired me to write my 2011 book on rape-revenge cinema. Very excited to have a booklet essay included in this release!

When EYES WIDE SHUT came out, a friend was writing reviews for a major outlet and saw it at a press screening. He reported back that it was a disaster, telling me that when it was over, one woman turned to her friend and said, "I want to slap Stanley Kubrick." We've come a long way since then!
One of the reasons why EYES WIDE SHUT has become such an unlikely Christmas movie is that it’s basically the IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE of fucking. www.vulture.com/2019/06/eyes...

Joel Edgerton’s Anti-Charisma Has Become His Greatest Strength
For years, he was the opposite of what we expect from leading men. But the Train Dreams actor has become a more memorable onscreen presence with age.

I love when a film hits Bilge Ebiri so hard, that he gives us multiple articles on the film. TRAIN DREAMS and Edgerton are certainly worthy of this treatment.

Really hoping Edgerton gets a Best Actor nomination for his turn in Train Dreams. Didn't know he had that performance in him but he is PERFECT in this movie.

I was first turned onto this line of Edgertonian thinking after seeing him in a supporting role in MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, where he rides shotgun through the entire film holding it together like mortar.
