Peter Hujar was a New York-based photographer in the 1960s through the 1980s. Although he became much more famous after his death in 1987 than he had been in life, he was already acknowledged as an influential figure, known for the authenticity he captured in his mostly black-and-white work. On December 19, 1974, Hujar sat down with his good friend Linda Rosenkrantz, who at that point was planning to do a book of interviews with a variety of people she knew. While that project never materialized, the transcript of Rosenkrantz’s interview with Hujar was located in 2019 and published in […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens, Kaylee Hottle Writers: Terry Rossio and Simon Barrett and Jeremy Slater, story by Terry Rossio & Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett Director: Adam Wingard Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: March 29, 2024 Although both of the main characters have their origins in film rather than printed matter, GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE feels more like an old-school mainstream comic book than most movie releases from Marvel or DC.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Rebecca Hall, Grace Kaufman, Michael Esper, Tim Roth Writer: Andrew Semans Director: Andrew Semans Distributor: IFC Films Release Date: July 29, 2022 RESURRECTION’s title doesn’t really prepare the viewer for what the film is about. To be fair, it’s hard to immediately think of a title that could. Indeed, without getting into spoilers, it’s hard to explain why RESURRECTION has a storyline with specifics we haven’t seen before. Here’s the set-up. Margaret (Rebecca Hall) is a successful executive at a biotech corporation. She is protective – maybe a bit too much – of her daughter Abbie […]Read On »

Movie Review: TRANSCENDENCE

TRANSENDENCE | © 2014 Warner Bros.

Stars: Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman Writer: Jack Paglen Director: Wally Pfister Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: April 18, 2014 TRANSCENDENCE tackles some huge ideas. What is consciousness? Can consciousness be proved? How can we prove our identity? What, for others, constitutes acceptable, valuable proof? And that’s before Jack Paglen’s script takes on the huge issues of whether some loss of autonomy is an acceptable trade-off for life and health. These issues don’t just get lip service but form much of the narrative spine of TRANSCENDENCE, and for the better part of the film, it […]Read On »
