The 2010s
Apologies for the brutal honesty, but regarding the 2010s I have this to say: What a lousy decade for entertainment!
2019: A Look Back in Bedlam
Welcome to the latest edition of my Look Back in Bedlam overview of the previous year’s noteworthy happenings in the world of Bedlam Files-friendly media
1987: The Year in Bedlam
In the 1980s movie-verse 1987 was something of an anomaly, being an authentically good year for film
1988: The Year in Bedlam
I really hate to keep repeating myself in my year-end summations, but I just have to say it: 1988 was an abysmal year for movies
1989: The Year in Bedlam
Here, in the latest edition of my Year in Bedlam film listings, we leave the nineties behind and enter the eighties, which many claim was the worst decade in cinema history
1990: The year in Bedlam
Here, in the latest installment of my Look Back in Bedlam at the year’s more obscure and underappreciated films, we arrive at 1990
1991: The Year in Bedlam
1991 wasn’t an especially auspicious year for movies, but it was a formative one for this (once) young cineaste
1992: The Year in Bedlam
For me the cinema of 1992 will always be shadowed by one all-encompassing real-life event: the rioting that took place on April 29 to May 4 in Los Angeles
1993: The Year in Bedlam
Looking back over 1993, I’ve found it was quite an auspicious year for movies
2018: Bedlam in Print
The books of 2018? There’s really not much to say, outside my usual observation that the really good stuff often lurks outside the mainstream
