PICKS
Midnight Cowboy
Movies have been often characterized as innovative, ground-breaking, trend-setting or wildly original, and these terms can be overused.
40 Years of Death Wish 3: A Celebration
It is almost hard to fathom, but it has been 40 years since the most violent 80’s Action movie ever.
The Terminator (1984)
Drop your socks and grab your cocks. In the very first scene in the movie we have a totally naked Arnold…
Gone Girl (2014)

Finding Bigfoot(2011)
Read more: Finding Bigfoot(2011)America is a country of masochists wanting nothing more than to be tied down, beat with fly swatters and be forced to choke down the hot, dripping load of whatever con artist we’re buying into at the moment.

Newman, Old Brilliance
Read more: Newman, Old BrilliancePaul Newman’s glorious cinematic career was brought to an end by a machine gun-toting Tom Hanks. “I’m glad it’s you,” he says to his imminent murderer during the rain-soaked finale of Road to Perdition. Of course, this sort of far-fetched rubbish (patiently waiting to be gunned down before paying a compliment to your assassin) can…

Danton (1983)
Read more: Danton (1983)A powerful historical film, as well as an allegory for any nation that grappled with a totalitarian past. Or flirts with one at present.

Tadpole
Read more: TadpoleAfter much drinking and innuendo, the two end up in the sheets, although this is not enough for dear Oscar.

Out For a Kill: 90’s Inaction
Read more: Out For a Kill: 90’s InactionIs it even possible to articulate the premise? Unfortunately, it is. Seagal is “the most distinguished academic” at Yale, because it would be a bit of a stretch for him to be the most distinguished academic at Harvard. He’s so smart that he becomes a patsy for a Chinese drug ring who try to smuggle…

Cyber Tracker: 90’s Inaction
Read more: Cyber Tracker: 90’s InactionCan the premise even be articulated? Sort of. Mix Robocop with The Terminator and cast the robot with a big bald fucker that looks like Steve Wilkos. Add a real-life kickboxer Don “The Dragon” Wilson as a human who is targeted by the Steve Wilkos which is controlled by his former employers (a senator and…

Tokyo Sonato (2008)
Read more: Tokyo Sonato (2008)The creeping dread of a faltering global economy is likely to inspire a wave of films with themes of depression, loss, and vulnerability within developed nations. Punching holes in ideas of safety and permanence while all of our friends and neighbors lose jobs and businesses would seem to be a fairly easy target, and one…
-
Goodbye Solo (2008)
Read more: Goodbye Solo (2008)In its own way, this film is perfect. From start to finish, the performances are flawless, not a moment is wasted, and the story ends just as it should. I would use the word masterpiece, but director Ramin Bahrani is only on his third feature, and given his work in Man Push Cart and Chop…

Vagabond (1985)
Read more: Vagabond (1985)How does one conduct a character study of a complete void? The human soul is elusive enough when it has emotion, connection, and interacts with those who share its space. When that soul retreats deeply and sheds aspiration, joy, and intellectual craving, then a standard investigation into that marrow would be halting, and make for…

The Exterminating Angel (1962)
Read more: The Exterminating Angel (1962)Luis Bunuel was obsessed with ritual and fetish, but he managed to harness them for his art; perhaps selecting embrace rather than denial is what saved him from self-destruction. Social conventions are part of the learned behaviors that members of a society use to relate to one another, but they can also become a languid…
