Here are four movies that aren't playing in an upcoming film festival. No one asked me to review them. One is still in theaters. The others are currently available only in your own home. They're just movies I've recently seen, from best to worst. A King of Hearts (1966), Kanopy World War I gave us … Continue reading Movies I’ve Recently Seen: King of Hearts, Little Women, The Front Page, & last but very much least, Quantum of Solace

Movies I've Recently Seen: Killer's Kiss, Zero for Conduct, 1917, Blaze, & The Swimmer
I had a horrible, sickly January, pretty much keeping me in the house. It wasn't until this Monday that I felt I could go to a movie theater without ruining everyone else's fun with my coughing and sneezing. (That's why I didn't cover Noir City or IndieFest this year.) Here's what I've been seen for … Continue reading Movies I've Recently Seen: Killer's Kiss, Zero for Conduct, 1917, Blaze, & The Swimmer
Movies I’ve Recently Seen: The Two Popes, Dodsworth, Lord of the Flies, & Shane
A bad cold (or maybe the flu) kept me out of movie theaters for the last couple of weeks. I spend a lot of time watching beloved films with their commentary tracks. But I did stream four films I'd never seen before, or hadn't seen in a very long time. A- The Two Popes (2019), … Continue reading Movies I’ve Recently Seen: The Two Popes, Dodsworth, Lord of the Flies, & Shane
Movies I've Recently Seen: He Ran All the Way, Once Upon a Time in the West, & The Aeronauts
I'm actually finding time to see movies again. A He Ran All the Way (1951), Criterion Channel I never heard of this short, cheap crime thriller until Saturday evening, and it blew me away. A violent robbery goes wrong, and a guard is dead. The killer (John Garfield) finds himself in the apartment of a very … Continue reading Movies I've Recently Seen: He Ran All the Way, Once Upon a Time in the West, & The Aeronauts
Movies I’ve Recently Seen: Dark Waters, Summer Stock, & High Anxiety
I see a lot of films at festivals - always with a press pass. I screen movies before they're opened so I can review them. But I also see pictures like everyone else; buying a ticket or streaming at home. If I see the film that way, and have never written about before, it goes … Continue reading Movies I’ve Recently Seen: Dark Waters, Summer Stock, & High Anxiety
Movies I’ve Recently Seen: Au Hasard Balthazar, Jojo Rabbit, Bob Le Flambeur, The Blue Kite, Ford v Ferrari
Here are five films I've scene since my last Recently Seen article. Not a bad one in the group. (Which isn't to say that they're all masterpieces.) A Au Hasard Balthazar (1966), Criterion Channel Robert Bresson tells us plenty about human nature in this story of the life and death of a donkey. And no, it's … Continue reading Movies I’ve Recently Seen: Au Hasard Balthazar, Jojo Rabbit, Bob Le Flambeur, The Blue Kite, Ford v Ferrari
Movies I’ve Recently Seen: The Pirate, The King, Harriet, & The Curse of the Cat People
Since my last Recently Seen piece, I've revisited two films I hadn't seen in ages, along two new ones. (Of course, I've seen other movies over that time, but I either wrote about them elsewhere or didn't feel the need to write about them at all.) A- The Pirate (1948), Criterion Channel Cole Porter's songs … Continue reading Movies I’ve Recently Seen: The Pirate, The King, Harriet, & The Curse of the Cat People
