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 Santa Clause 2 Tim Allen

The Santa Clause 2 has Tim Allen’s standup and farting reindeer, but it feels like Christmas. Let me explain why I keep watching it.

Meet Me in St. Louis: The Us That Time Forgot

August 14, 2022December 25, 2021 by M.C. Myers
Meet Me in St. Louis

Meet Me in St. Louis is hope and happiness in movie form, using sorrow and shadows and more joy than usually fits in ten movies. It is Christmas, to me.

White Christmas: A Beautiful Bottom Line

February 26, 2022December 24, 2021 by M.C. Myers
White Christmas Bing Crosby

White Christmas never fails to put me in the Christmas spirit, with a bit of finagling. It wears the season (and its production woes) on its satin sleeve.

Brooklyn: Cautious Fairytale

December 23, 2021December 9, 2021 by M.C. Myers
Brooklyn Saoirse Ronan

Brooklyn is a well-meaning new version of the kind of movie we used to make much more easily. It’s not masterful, but at least it’s respectable.

Vertigo: Decoding Hitchcock’s Desires

July 13, 2022December 9, 2021 by M.C. Myers
Vertigo Kim Novak Alfred Hitchcock

Vertigo is as much about its director’s view of sex as a masterclass thriller. It decodes not only Master Hitchcock but an entire cinematic point-of-view.

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

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one romance that counts as all of them. Reluctance becomes the ultimate fantasy.
