Cineppraisal

The kindliest Ayn Rand protagonist subjects his grandchildren to the nightmare factory he runs, shortly after an employee was killed.

Jurassic Park was directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1993 by Universal Pictures. The screenplay was written by Michael Crichton and David Koepp, with music by John Williams.

The original action star, Buster Keaton, at it again in what might be his all-time biggest spectacle. 1927’s “The General” still boasts practical stunts that will leave you floored and cringing as Keaton goes on a high-speed chase to save the Woman and Steam Engine he loves. Hop onboard The General with Dax & Adam, and see why almost every action star to follow, from Jackie Chan to Harrison Ford, would go on to draw inspiration from the seemingly immortal director and star.

Yellow Submarine was directed by George Dunning and released in 1968 by Apple Films. The animation was directed by Robert Balser, George Dunning, and Jack Stokes. The live-action footage was directed by Dennis Abey and Al Brodax. It was produced by Al Brodax with a screenplay by Lee Minoff, Al Brodax, Jack Mendelsohn, Erich Segal, and Roger McGough (uncredited) based on the song “Yellow Submarine” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The film stars John Clive as John, Geoffrey Hughes as Paul, Peter Batten as George (uncredited due to not finishing the role after being arrested for deserting the British Army, no joke), Paul Angelis as Opening Narrator / Chief Blue Meanie / Ringo / George, Dick Emery as Max / Lord Mayor / Jeremy Hillary Boob, and Lance Percival as "Young/Old" Fred. The film’s music is by Sir George Martin, and of course, The Beatles.

There’s something wrong in that massive house, in the middle of a lake, in the Edwardian English countryside, and it’ll take an insurance clerk (Daniel Radcliffe “Horns,” “Other Movies”) and a small town noble (Ciarán Hinds “Game of Thrones,” “There Will Be Blood”) to unravel a mystery of unspeakable horror. 2012’s “The Woman in Black” is a full-throated return to form for Hammer Films, the undisputed masters of horror in the 1960s and 70s. So, strap in because it’s going to get dark as Dax slowly realizes what this movie is really about!

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A bandit, a samurai, and his bride walk into a grove and…. Oh wait, you have? How does it go? The bride falls in love with the bandit? But I thought she was traumatized and begged for her husband’s forgiveness. Wait, who’s the woodcutter in all this? And why is there a medium in court giving viable testimony? That’s right, our inaugural episode is on Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon! Have a hard time remembering things? Well strap in, ‘cause you have no idea (and neither do we).
