A generous helping of shutdown-induced free time has allowed me to catch up on my ridiculous backlog of movies on disc. That’s why it’s no coincidence that the last dozen or so posts on this formerly eclectic blog are movie … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is the third film in the Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection that revolves around a central struggle of the individual against institutionalization. Like Cool Hand Luke and A Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest … Continue reading
Untimely Movie Review: The Exorcist
The Exorcist provides another example of a cultural touchstone film that, somehow, I’ve never seen. That’s right—despite owning about 500 movies on disc, and seeing perhaps hundreds more over the years, this one escaped my view. This is the next … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: A Clockwork Orange
The next entry in the Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection is the second Stanley Kubrick offering in the set: A Clockwork Orange. Yet, despite the unmistakably ambitious nature of the film, I found it had more in common thematically with … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: Dirty Harry
Going from Willy Wonka to Dirty Harry practically gave me the bends. But Clint Eastwood’s signature performance was next up in the Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection. Like Bullitt, this is a movie about police officers in San Francisco. Unlike Bullitt, … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I was eager to dive into the next film in the Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, because I hadn’t seen the movie in many years. In fact, my first exposure to it was in a … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: Bullitt
Bullitt, the next film in the Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection, is the perfect palate-cleanser after the fantastic but mystifying 2001: A Space Odyssey. Rather than exploring existential questions of humanity and our place in the universe, Bullitt is quite simply an action-packed … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: 2001: A Space Odyssey
For about 25 minutes, there’s not a single line of dialogue in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Yet, Kubrick, using only a phenomenal, classical score (WHOOOO!) and striking, brutal, beautiful, and sometimes alarming visuals produces a remarkably well-told story. As a … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: Cool Hand Luke
With my renewed, pandemic-commitment to reviewing the Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection, I moved on to the next film in the collection, Cool Hand Luke. Like Doctor Zhivago and numerous other titles in the set, Cool Hand Luke is based on a book I’ve … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: Superman
Approaching the turn in the Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection, I encounter a familiar face: Superman. I’m too young to have seen the 1978 movie in a theater, but I’m the perfect age to have experienced the film’s frequent showing as … Continue reading →
