From the Archive — Casino Royale

May 4, 2019 Dan Seeger

I’m running low on older material, so we’re likely in the last few weeks of the “From the Archive” feature. Hence, the recent ramping up of pre-production promo for the next James Bond film — led by casting announcements that … Continue reading From the Archive — Casino Royale

February 23, 2019 Dan Seeger

On this Academy Awards weekend, I’ll reach back to the review I wrote about the film that earned Helen Mirren her Best Actress in a Leading Role trophy. This was first posted at my original online home. Stephen Frears’ new … Continue reading From the Archive — The Queen

From the Archive — Marie Antoinette

February 16, 2019 Dan Seeger

This was originally written for and posted at my former online home.  There was a lot of suspicious murmuring when the teaser trailer for Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette hit. It looked like a period piece, but what was that New Order song doing there? Coppola was … Continue reading From the Archive — Marie Antoinette

From the Archive — Superman Returns

November 3, 2018November 2, 2018 Dan Seeger

Officially, director Bryan Singer has a new movie out this weekend. The reality is a little more complicated, but it’s a reasonable enough prompt to dig out this old review, especially since it’s looking like there might be a sizable … Continue reading From the Archive — Superman Returns

From the Archive — The Last King of Scotland

October 20, 2018October 19, 2018 Dan Seeger

I don’t have much to add about this review, originally written for my former online home. I’m a little surprised it’s as long as it is, given this is a film I’ve barely spared a thought for in the years … Continue reading From the Archive — The Last King of Scotland

From the Archive — Friends with Money

September 15, 2018 Dan Seeger

On the occasion of Nicole Holofcener’s latest film making its debut in theaters and on Netflix this weekend, I’ll reach back to the review I wrote of her third feature. Friends with Money is arguably the writer-director’s weakest film, and … Continue reading From the Archive — Friends with Money

From the Archive — All the King’s Men

August 25, 2018August 25, 2018 Dan Seeger

From the Archive — Children of Men

August 18, 2018 Dan Seeger

There are times in the process of seeing, writing about, and, yes, ranking films, when the best feature of the year is immediately evident upon first viewing of it. For me, that was the case with Children of Men. That’s … Continue reading From the Archive — Children of Men

From the Archive — Stranger Than Fiction

August 4, 2018August 2, 2018 Dan Seeger

On the occasion of Marc Forster ushering into theaters a new film that plays with the idea of famed fictional characters intermingling with the real world, I’ll rustle up my old review for this earlier effort with some superficial similarities. … Continue reading From the Archive — Stranger Than Fiction

Then Playing — Four Impossible Missions

July 25, 2018July 26, 2018 Dan Seeger

Given that he emerged as a movie star in the nineteen-eighties, the era when sequels emerged as Hollywood’s favorite toy, it’s remarkable that Tom Cruise was a solid twenty years into his screen career before he appeared in a film … Continue reading Then Playing — Four Impossible Missions
