Columbia Noir at the Criterion Channel

April 9, 2020April 8, 2020 ~ Lincoln Spector

It's a dirty, corrupt, and evil world, filled with lust for money, lust for power, and just plain old lust. And it just got dirtier on Wednesday, when the Criterion Channel opened up a collection of Columbia Noir. Yes, the lady with the torch is looking over the crime-filled streets. The collection contains 26 movies … Continue reading Columbia Noir at the Criterion Channel

Last Day at Noir City

February 4, 2019 ~ Lincoln Spector

The Castro was nearly empty for the last double bill of this year's Noir City - a stark contrast to Saturday night's packed house. I think there was some sort of ball game going on. Sunday had only one double bill, but the show went all day. You could start watching the whole double bill … Continue reading Last Day at Noir City

Saturday at Noir City…plus Laurel and Hardy

February 3, 2019February 3, 2019 ~ Lincoln Spector ~ 2 Comments

Saturday was a crazy day of moviegoing. Not only did I watch four Noir City feature films at the Castro, but I also caught four Laurel and Hardy shorts on the other side of the bay. And the crazy thing is I had previously seen seven of the eight films. With some of them, I … Continue reading Saturday at Noir City…plus Laurel and Hardy

Foreign Films & Crime-Soaked Movies: The first film festivals of 2019

December 24, 2018 ~ Lincoln Spector

The last weeks of the year become a film festival desert in the Bay Area. 2018's last fest, Another Hole in the Head, closed December 12. But with the new year come new festivals. At least two will open in January. For Your Consideration Rafael, January 4 - 10 All sorts of rules control what … Continue reading Foreign Films & Crime-Soaked Movies: The first film festivals of 2019

Previews of the Dark Side of the Dream

March 6, 2018March 4, 2018 ~ Lincoln Spector

Attaining the American Dream isn't easy. Sometimes, it's impossible. The Dark Side of the Dream, a four-day film festival at the Roxie, screens six double bills that dramatize the ways our system doesn't work. The films date from 1933 to 1964. Most of them could be reasonably categorized as noir. The festival runs March 23 … Continue reading Previews of the Dark Side of the Dream

What’s Screening: January 26 – February 1

January 26, 2018January 26, 2018 ~ Lincoln Spector

This week, the Alamo Drafthouse New Mission screens two big 80s movies in 70mm. Also in Bay Area theaters: early Sam Fuller, the original cut of Woodstock, and three film festivals. Festivals Noir City opens today and runs through February 4. I can recommend This Gun For Hire and Shadow of a Doubt - especially Shadow … Continue reading What’s Screening: January 26 – February 1

Samuel Fuller

November 4, 2012November 4, 2012 ~ Lincoln Spector

I've been throwing myself into the life and work of Samuel Fuller lately. It's been a rewarding experience. For those not familiar with the name, Fuller wrote and directed a string of low-budget, impressive genre films from the late 40's to the early 60's. His pictures are bold, direct, and in-your-face, and utterly lacking in … Continue reading Samuel Fuller
