More than half a century since its original release, the announcement made from The Killing still rings loud and clear: director Stanley Kubrick, the auteur of the detached antirealism voice in cinema, has arrived ...
With my “cool” card revoked for my favorable review of Fright Night, let me go ahead and suggest that maybe the mid-to-late 1970s and '80s were a better fit for writer/director John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing). After a nine-year-absence his latest ...
