Illusions of Relevance in The Invisible Man (2020)

March 1, 2023February 19, 2023 by M.C. Myers
The Invisible Man Elisabeth Moss

Whannell drenches the action of his remake in expository relevance to cover for a lack of basic thriller rationale in the screenplay.

Missing Morals in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

January 20, 2023January 18, 2023 by M.C. Myers
Guillermo Del Toro Pinocchio

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio shimmers with excited physical energy but never coordinates its new story ideas with its old moral responsibilities.

Why Scrooge (1951) is the Best Version of A Christmas Carol

January 11, 2023December 29, 2022 by M.C. Myers

The 1951 version of Scrooge effortlessly recreates its candleglow world. This classic story has never been better.

The Munsters is a Candy Corn Car Crash

November 1, 2022 by M.C. Myers
The Munsters

Rob Zombie makes a twisted costume contest nightmare out of an idea of The Munsters that never overcomes its lack of inspiration or its cast’s shortcomings.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) – Imposter Horror

October 3, 2022October 2, 2022 by M.C. Myers
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Invasion of the Body Snatchers remakes a great B-movie with intellectual terror. It knows that irony makes it even scarier. This is pure horror joy.

Cyrano (2021) – Glossing Over a Classic

September 3, 2022September 3, 2022 by M.C. Myers
Cyrano

Peter Dinklage is a powerful force for good in an otherwise listless adaptation that misinterprets whatever it doesn’t omit entirely.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) – Schlock and Awe

February 22, 2022February 18, 2022 by M.C. Myers
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Jessica Biel

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is far more willing to recreate its original than to understand it. The result is vile. And not in a good way.

A Fistful of Dollars: Neo Bravo

December 23, 2021November 3, 2021 by M.C. Myers

A Fistful of Dollars is a samurai movie moved to the frontier. It loses nothing in the transition. And it gains the best staring in film history.

The Insignificance of Language in It (2017)

December 23, 2021November 1, 2021 by Bryce Jones

It is a movie with no individual voice and, appropriately enough, it treats language as an impediment to be renounced.
