Ruggero Deodato: 1939-2022

My thoughts on the recently deceased director of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST

One of the more inexplicable cultural touchstones of our era is 1990’s HOME ALONE

Stephen King adapts THE KINGDOM, and not very well

There was simply no one else like the Hawaiian-bred Albert Pyun, one of the most irrepressible directors working in any genre

There’s something about the movie flops of the 1990s

My 20 favorite Halloween movies (no, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS and HOCUS POCUS aren’t on it)

In which I make the heretical confession that I prefer the Americanized recut of EYES WITHOUT A FACE to the original version

A thematic trilogy that marked the emergence of a unique and vital auteur, and exerted a rather sizeable impact on European cinema as a whole

The release of BLONDE caps a long line of films about the late Norma Jeane Baker, a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe

I feel that had these scripts been filmed the face of cinema may well have been transformed irrevocably
