Still unnerving to this day, Frankenstein adroitly explores the fine line between genius and madness, and features Boris Karloff’s legendary, frightening performance as the monster.
Frankenstein is the OG horror movie that still gives me goosebumps to this day. James Whale really knew how to make a film that would stick with you, even when you’re trying to sleep. Karloff’s performance as the monster is iconic and tragic, and the whole movie has a fairytale-like quality that makes it both beautiful and terrifying. It’s no wonder that it’s influenced so many horror movies that came after it. Plus, who doesn’t love a good story about playing God and the consequences that come with it? If you haven’t seen Frankenstein yet, you’re missing out on a classic that still holds up today.

James Whale has done a great job in his direction. This is not an easy thing to direct — just how far to go in playing upon an audience’s credulity, it’s sympathy, it’s nerves. Whale seems to have gone far enough, but not too far.

Badass to the max, Enter the Dragon is the ultimate kung-fu movie and fitting (if untimely) Bruce Lee swan song.
Enter the Dragon is the ultimate kung fu movie that will have you whooping and hollering from start to finish. It’s a classic corny action flick that never gets boring and is visually stunning. Bruce Lee is at his charismatic best as he takes on an evil overlord in a martial arts tournament. Sure, there are some flaws, like Lee having to share screen time with other battlers, but the formidable kung-fu sequences make up for it. Overall, Enter the Dragon is a ripping entertainment that’s perfect for a movie night with friends.

Awards & Nominations: 2 wins & 1 nomination
An ice-cold noir that retains Robert Altman’s idiosyncratic sensibilities, The Long Goodbye ranks among the smartest and most satisfying Marlowe mysteries.
The Long Goodbye is a classic neo-noir film that will have you laughing and crying all at once. Elliot Gould’s performance as Marlowe is both absurd and captivating, making you root for him even when he’s making questionable decisions. The film’s cynical tone is balanced out by its moralistic handling of the protagonist, making it a must-watch for anyone looking to dive into Robert Altman’s oeuvre. Plus, who doesn’t love a good reinvention of a classic?

Plot
In the middle of the night, private eye Philip Marlowe drives his friend Terry Lennox to the Mexican border. When Marlowe returns home police are waiting for him and learns that Terry’s wife Sylvia has been killed. He’s arrested as an accessory but released after a few days and is told the case is closed since Terry Lennox has seemingly committed suicide in Mexico. Marlowe is visited by mobster Marty Augustine who wants to know what happened to the $350,000 Lennox was supposed to deliver for him. Meanwhile, Marlowe is hired by Eileen Wade to find her husband Roger who has a habit of disappearing when he wants to dry out but she can’t find him in any any of his usual haunts. He finds him at Dr. Veringer’s clinic and brings him. It soon becomes obvious to Marlowe that Terry’s death, the Wades and Augustine are all somehow interconnected. Figuring out just what those connections are however will be anything but easy.

Synopsis (Warning: Spoilers!)
Three months later, Vince demotes Stanley again to scout, sending him overseas to find a new star. Meeting with his former college teammate Leon Rich, he encourages him to leave the 76ers and also become a player agent. When Stanley’s plan to scout another player in Spain falls through, watching a local pick-up game, he is stunned by an incredibly talented unknown player.
Stanley attempts to speak with the man, Bo Cruz, but is rebuffed until he makes a Facetime call to Dirk Nowitzki to prove his legitimacy. Bo and his mother Paola recount his life story: he was a talented player from an early age and was invited to play in America at age 15, but stayed in Spain after his girlfriend became pregnant with his daughter Lucia. Bo now works construction and makes extra money hustling at basketball.
After an impressive workout with members of the Spanish national team, Stanley urges the 76ers front office to sign Cruz immediately, but Vincent is unconvinced. Taking matters into his own hands, he pays to bring Cruz to the US, telling him he will be signed by the Sixers or enter the NBA draft. At the airport, Bo is detained for an aggravated assault conviction he received in Spain. He is released, but warned that he could be deported if he were to be arrested in America.
Stanley takes Bo to play at a showcase organized by Leon, which is also attended by the presumptive second overall pick Kermit Wilts. Stanley advises Bo that if he shuts down Wilts, it will significantly raise his stock with the Sixers. During the workout, Cruz shows flashes of talent, but struggles on offense and at guarding Wilts, who trash talks him and throws him off his game.
When Vince passes on Bo, Stanley quits the 76ers to prepare Cruz for the NBA Draft Combine six weeks away. Telling Bo his only weakness is his sensitivity, he builds on his mental toughness. Teresa and Alex assist with the training by preparing meals and taping workouts. Bo improves dramatically through Stanley’s coaching, but Leon can’t get him into the Draft Combine after Vince spreads information about Bo’s assault charge.
Furious at Stanley, Bo eventually reveals the charge stemmed from a fight with Lucia’s mother’s boyfriend after she tried to claim sole custody of Lucia. Stanley admits his injured hand was from a drunk driving accident while in college, derailing his basketball team’s season and putting him in jail for six months. Their trust renewed, Stanley works tirelessly to get Bo into the combine, without success.
To create interest, the Sugermans enlist Julius Erving to create a viral video of “the Boa Challenge”, where people, including 76ers player Tobias Harris, attempt to score on Bo for money. Cruz is eventually accepted into the combine, and Stanley flies Lucia and Paola to the US to support him. Bo impresses in the physical elements of the combine, but faces off with Wilts again in a five-on-five exhibition game. He initially performs well, but Kermit begins talking trash about Bo’s daughter and mother, so he eventually breaks, pushing Wilts down, and storming out.
Both Stanley and Bo think their journey is over. At the airport for Bo’s flight back to Spain, Leon calls about a private game for players and front office members that Bo and Kermit have both been invited to. Playing without pressure, Cruz locks down Wilts defensively and demonstrates his offensive abilities. Rex’s daughter Kat, who recognizes Stanley’s talent, reveals she is taking over from Vince and rehires him as an assistant coach.
Five months later, the 76ers and Boston Celtics tip off for a game against each other with Stanley now the assistant coach of the 76ers and Bo playing for the Boston Celtics.
Trivia
Goofs
When Stan tells the story about the car accident that injured his hand, he said he threw out his hand to keep Leon from going through the windshield. Since Stan was driving, he would have injured his RIGHT hand, not his left as is shown throughout.
Quotes
Stanley Beren: [to Bo] Do you love this game? I mean, love it with your whole heart. Because if you don’t, let’s not even bother. Let’s not open that door. They’re just going to slam it in our face. I love this game. I live this game. There’s a thousand other guys waiting in the wings who are obsessed with this game. Obsession is going to beat talent every time. You got all the talent in the world, but are you obsessed? Let’s face it. It’s you against you out there. When you walk on that court, you have to think, “I am the best guy out there”. So let me ask you again. Do you love this game?

Hal Ashby’s comedy is too dark and twisted for some, and occasionally oversteps its bounds, but there’s no denying the film’s warm humor and big heart.
Harold and Maude is a movie about a young man who is obsessed with death and an old woman who is obsessed with life. It’s a strange combination, but somehow it works. The movie is both funny and dark, and the characters are all a little bit crazy. Harold’s attempts at suicide are both hilarious and disturbing, and Maude’s zest for life is infectious. The movie is a cult classic for a reason, and it’s definitely worth a watch if you’re in the mood for something a little bit different. Just be prepared for some weirdness.

The fact that [it] isn’t very funny and, like its 80-year-old heroic, long outlives its necessary life, is less important than the fact that the characters frequently react gently or like credible human beings to the script’s impossible notions.

TOP CRITIC
Simpleminded, but it’s fairly inoffensive, at least until Ashby lingers over the concentration-camp serial number tattooed on Gordon’s arm. Some things are beyond the reach of whimsy.

TOP CRITIC
It is most successful when it keeps to the tone of an insane fairystory set up at the beginning of the movie.

TOP CRITIC
[Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon] both are so aggressive, so creepy and off-putting.

TOP CRITIC
The visual style makes everyone look fresh from the Wax Museum, and all the movie lacks is a lot of day-old gardenias and lilies and roses in the lobby, filling the place with a cloying sweet smell. Nothing more to report today.

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
TOP CRITIC
This black comedy pairs a 79-year-old swinger with a suicidal 20-year-old. They go to funerals and philosophize together in between Cort’s humorously staged suicide attempts.

TOP CRITIC
Its strength resides in a philosophy of self-exploration through personal fulfillment, bodily acceptance and exploration, artistic creation, and spontaneity.

Deep Focus Review
Exemplifies the expression “it shouldn’t have worked, but it did” more than any movie I can think of, is a romantic comedy, and also a very dark comedy (50th anniversary)

Tilt Magazine
The characters of Harold and Maude are its lifeblood; but the visual and auditory elements of the film tell its story just as well.

David Fontana
Film Inquiry
With far too many movies being incorrectly labeled as “cult films” these days — I expect we’ll reach a point where even blockbusters like Avengers: End Game and Jurassic World will be given that designation — here’s an example of the genuine article.
December 18, 2021 | Rating: 3.5/4

Film Frenzy
Essentially, no character in the film remains plain or unassuming; they’re all overdone, exaggerated, and flamboyant – yet entirely believable.
August 30, 2020 | Rating: 8/10

Gone With The Twins
A philosophical black comedy for grandparents and grandchildren, or what Walt Disney and Lucille Ball might have thought up if they’d taken courses in the Absurd at UCLA.

Plot
Young adult Harold Chasen, solitary and friendless by choice, is obsessed with death, this fascination manifesting itself in he staging his own fake suicides, driving a hearse and attending funerals, even of people he doesn’t know, all to the chagrin of his exasperated wealthy mother with whom he lives. Mrs. Chasen is determined for Harold to be “normal”, including her sending him into therapy to deal with his issues and finding him a girlfriend through a computer dating service. It is at a series of funerals that Harold meets Maude, on the cusp of her eightieth birthday, she who too attends funerals of strangers. Unlike Harold, Maude is obsessed with life – her own life to be more precise – she does whatever she wants to please herself, damned what others may think or how they may be affected. Since she can’t take material possessions with her, she is more interested in experiences, with whatever material possessions she has – often “borrowed” without asking – only to further those experiences. Their friendship is initially based on how the other can further their own priority. But as Maude shows Harold how to truly live, Harold falls in love with her. Their relationship, already limited in time by the sheer math, is curtailed even more as Maude shows him only not how to live well, but die well.
Trivia
Goofs / Tidbits
Ruth Gordon, who plays Maude, won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Rosemary’s Baby just two years prior to starring in Harold and Maude.
