A ★★★ review of The Addams Family (1991)

The fizzy result of a rather tumultuous production. Any story weaknesses are buttressed by the casting, which is as good as the 60s television series. Lots of nods to the OG New Yorker drawings, too!

Drew Struzan, illustrator extraordinaire, is gone. If you’ve never seen a Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or Harry Potter film - honestly, a genre film of any kind - if you’ve never been in a book store or walked by a movie theater - you *may* have missed his work. Thank you Drew, for all of it. #filmsky

4K Blu-Ray releases I’d love to see, part 2: Avalon. Barry Levinson chronicles his family from 1910s America to the early 50s and 60s. Armin Mueller-Stahl and Joan Plowright are wonderful, there’s a lovely Randy Newman score, plus stellar visuals from Norman Reynolds and Alan Daviau. #homevideosky

The Trump administration canceled this researcher’s federal grant “as part of a sweeping punishment of elite colleges and universities”

This administration is not just dismantling public health & healthcare but also critical medical research—it’s all about inflicting maximum punishment & pain 😢

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

A ★★★★½ review of The Innocents (1961)

Five years since my last viewing? Far too long for this classic. Still one of the best scary movies ever made. This time I was getting bowled over by just the blocking. The way the camera effortlessly...

4K Blu-Ray releases I’d love to see, part 1: Never Cry Wolf. One of the best from early-80s Disney, as they experimented in the hopes of regaining their audience. It’s a quietly affecting story, and Hiro Narita’s beautiful cinematography makes this film a natural for a 4K transfer. #homevideosky

Classic adaption of Henry James from director Jack Clayton. Sublime. One of the finest ghost stories on film. Utterly spine-chilling, simply exquisite. 1961
