As we move closer to the end of the year, many cities, towns, and municipalities in cold weather regions are trying to cram in as much last-minute roadwork as they can before the snow flies. That’s not to say they won’t be working during the winter, but this time of year always feels like a … Continue reading Dangerous Curves Ahead
Brian De Palma’s deeply moving morality tale Carlito’s Way (1993) recently had its thirtieth anniversary. The film has long held a special place in my personal movie pantheon, ever since seeing it opening night, November 12, 1993. Based on two novels by New York State Supreme Court Judge Edwin Torres (which I’ve read and highly … Continue reading “Favor Gonna Kill You Faster Than a Bullet”: Carlito’s Way at 30
I adore Mike Nichols’ Wolf (1994), but every time I watch it—and I try to watch it every October—I’m utterly gobsmacked that he got Michelle Pfeiffer to film that completely bonkers final showdown. As good guy Wolfman Jack (Nicholson) looks on from inside a cage, bad guy Wolfman James Spader uses his hairy paws to … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Wolfing Around with Michelle

It means a lot, truly. Happy Thanksgiving! Hope your holiday feasting includes some tasty turkey, … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
Miami’s Babylon Club is a favorite hangout of criminal-element types in Brian De Palma’s grotesque and glorious gangster film, Scarface (1983). The Babylon is where Tony Montana (Al Pacino) first puts the moves on Elvira Hancock (Michelle Pfeiffer). Tony visits the club as a guest of drug lord Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia). Elvira might be … Continue reading Rush Rush at the Babylon
In the annals of gratuitous character introductions, few hold a candle to how we meet camp counselor Terry in Friday the 13th: Part 2 (1981). Before we see her face, director Stephen Minor begins with a tight shot of Terry’s, um, well, tight ass. As we watch it bounce hypnotically through the woods, we see … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: A Memorable Introduction
