Our Netflix BBC DVD had two Ibsen plays on it, and the other night someone I know and this blogger took a look at the 1971 television adaptation of The Wild Duck , starring a young Denholm Elliott and Jenny Agutter. It was really good, too, a nice compantion to the BBC production of An Enemy of the People. . One can see why Eugene O'Neill paid frequent homage to Ibsen. The themes of pipe dreams, alcoholism,...

Harrison Ford and his movie-making cohorts are back with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull . Was it worth it? After 19 years, hardly anything would be. Can anything live up to such hype as this movie has received? Probably not. But hype is overrated anyway, and the strength of the Indiana Jones series is that it was never meant to be taken seriously in the first place. Doing so will...

Beach Red (1967) and Too Late the Hero (1970): Two World War II movies made during the Vietnam War, by directors who been in their twenties during WWII, and whose movies are unromantic about combat and pretty much explicitly antiwar, though in different ways. Beach Red , which was directed by its star, Cornel Wilde--a dull actor who turned director and whose work behind the camera has inspired talk...

Since Indy is sometimes referred to as Spielberg and Lucas's answer to James Bond, it makes sense to have the original James Bond portray his father. Sean Connery brings a delightful sternness to the role, walking a fine line between a fondness for his cinematic son, and remaining detached from emotional attachments.

Part of what has solidified Raiders status as a classic film is the numerous memorable moments the film carries, leading the picture to be spoofed and parodied quite often. Who can forget Indy's marketplace battle with the overzealous swordsman, the brawny battle with the German mechanic, and, of course, the abuse Indy takes chasing a simple truck.

...updating the action precisely the same number of years as have elapsed since "Last Crusade," to 1957, smack dab in the middle of the Cold War. U.S. versus USSR dynamic spurs the dynamite opening action sequence, in which a convoy of Russian soldiers camouflaged in American army vehicles rolls into a remote desert nuclear testing base in search of a coveted object. Helping them in this effort

I guess if you're going to make a fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, nearly 20 years after the third one, then Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is probably the best you can do. It's a good film, entertaining and well-executed. It's not a great film, and the team has done an admirable job...

Even though some people aren't happy with the BBC's Christmas TV schedule, there is a definite gem in there. Once again, the Beeb will screen more of their MR James adaptations. James, if you've never read him, was one of the best ghost story writers in the English language. The Christmas Ghost Story season is sadly [...]
