I wrote this post on the literary source of the movie John Carter before it came out. In retrospect, it has more meaning now since many moviegoers complained that John Carter was just a re-hash of other sci-fi movies - especially Avatar. In a way, it’s the other […]
Many great movies came out in 2012 – The Dark Knight Rises, Looper, Argo, Django Unchained, Zero Dark Thirty, to list some of our favorites. But there were many excellent films that slipped by rather quietly. We decided that we needed another chance to see some of the […]

Edar Allan Poe is one of my favorite writers. His use of first-person narration and lurid Gothic imagery gives him a unique voice. There’s nothing like reading “The Raven” on a cold, gray afternoon. Whenever I read Poe, the images in my…

While many movie versions of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol seek to follow the novel closely and recreate a slice of early Victorian England, Scrooged (1988) is set in the 1980s and speaks directly to that era. The hippies of the Summer of Love had become the Thirtysomething […]
Bad Santa (2003, 91 min.) is very naughty, but it isn’t bad. While it treads the well-worn path of pointing out the commercialization of Christmas and the hypocrisy of many who celebrate it, Bad Santa adds a freshness to the seasonal critique genre. For those who haven’t seen […]
