So for this year I wanted to do something a little different. Whenever I’ve made 'top film' lists in the past, I’ve always been partially dissatisfied because my lists ends up being filled with films I haven’t seen in years and sometimes don’t remember as clearly as I’d like to remember them. For th...

Seen 6 1. Nosferatu 2. Faust 3. Tabu I still hold out hope for a print of 4 Devils hidden in some archive. There's a pretty good essay on the lost film (directed between Sunrise and City Girl) by Janet Bergstrom here: https://www.academia.edu/8678287/Murnau_in_America_Chronicle_of_Lost_Films_4_Devil...

^ agreed, definitely appreciate all your work thus far, Bure. Hopefully something eventually clicks!

Watched Running Scared (1986) tonight. Crystal and Hines enliven the buddy cop routine with a fair amount of good chemistry and humor. Hyams has fun with a couple big set pieces (a lengthy car chase through Chicago’s airport, streets, and subways ends racing down the L while dodging oncoming trains)...

Seen 8 1. Narrow Margin 2. The Relic 3. End of Days 4. Timecop I like Hyams' films well enough and find him to be a somewhat interesting studio director who worked consistently but never found much commercial or critical acclaim. Although he's been the cinematographer on all of his films since 2010 ...

Not all too familiar with slowcore but love this song by Red House Painters

What's everyone's desert island spices? Salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, oregano, paprika, curry powder, and chili powder. Garlic, onion, and ginger are essential too although I try to get those fresh when possible. Sometimes I'll also use stuff like triguisar, pimentón, and tajín for certain South Am...

Don't think I'll be able to go this year but I wanted to make a post about Il Cinema Ritrovato. For anyone who doesn't know about it, it's a one-of-a-kind week-long film festival at the end of June in Bologna, Italy that's dedicated exclusively to archival restorations screened on film. The program ...

In anticipation of watching Points and Lines for the 1958 poll, I wanted to check out another Tsuneo Kobayashi film to get a frame of reference for his work. I watched one of his films from the previous year, The Deep Blue Sea (1957), a very good film that shifts between melodrama, musical, and crim...

Speaking of queer resonance, as far as I can see no one has thus far mentioned my sure-to-be #1 of 1958: Bell, Book, and Candle , a kind of rom-com Vertigo that pairs Novak-Stewart and is worth seeing if for no other reason that its status as an accidentally-in-dialogue-with companion to the Hitch ...

Hmm, I couldn't get it under five. Here's mine so far... Max Schreck starred in Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) Murnau also directed Sunrise (1927) with an uncredited role by Sidney Bracey Sidney Bracey acted alongside Keye Luke in Charlie Chan at the Race Track (1936) Keye Luke also acted in Woody Allen'...
