“For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster. To me that was better than being president of the United States. To be a gangster was to own the world.” t seems rather daunting. Writing about a film that, released in 1990, has gone on to be one of the best ...
There is a robust earnestness surrounding Richard Donner’s Ladyhawke that, to this day, remains praiseworthy. While Warner Bros does the film a favor with this freshly minted blu-ray release, the film stands on its own as a testament to the enduring qualities of solid fantasy ...
Old hat. Battered suitcase. Duffle coat. Marmalade. Paddington Bear has been a fixture in children’s literature since 1958. The character hasn’t always been fashionable, mind you, but he has always been entertaining and, when it comes to children, fashion isn’t always the...

When we talk about the films of Sergio Leone, I wonder how many people realize we are only talking, specifically, about six movies. Six. No more and no less. And they are all inarguable considered film classics…except for one. Filmed in 1971, Duck, You Sucker! (aka ...
