Review: Super Dark Times (2017)
If you read the plot, you might think: Ho-hum, yawn, it’s been done. And that’s true. What matters is HOW the director (and it’s his first feature!) has told the story. I absolutely loved it. My review of Super Dark … Continue reading
Review: The Discovery (2017)
Unfortunately, this is my second negative review for “Women Writers Week” on Rogerebert.com. I am the Crankypants of the Ladies. My review of The Discovery is now up at Rogerebert.com.
Review: American Fable (2017)
I reviewed American Fable, the REALLY impressive debut from writer-director Anne Hamilton for Rogerebert.com.
Review: The Fits (2016): Extra! Extra! Must-See!
Everyone: you need to see this movie. Filmed on a micro-budget. Like, micro-micro. But stylistically bold as hell, and stylistic with a PURPOSE. Mysterious movie. Very creepy, thought-provoking, and deep. I can’t stop thinking about it. First-time director. No professional … Continue reading

Ex Machina knocked me out. Knocked me OUT, I tell you. Written and directed by Alex Garland (a novelist and screenwriter), it is a first feature: extraordinary, considering the authority the film carries. There are no first-time jitters in evidence. … Continue reading
“I would commit suicide if I were in this position.”
A really charming and funny post, written by my pal Matt Zoller Seitz, on watching “Aliens” with a bunch of kids at his son’s slumber party. None of the kids had seen it before. The title of this post is … Continue reading
I Want To Go To There
One of my favorite shots from Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).
Under the Skin (2014)
I am thrilled that all I knew, going into Under the Skin, was that Scarlett Johansson plays a creepy woman who drives around Scotland in her van luring men to hitch a ride with her. That’s all I knew. What … Continue reading
