On the occasion of the announcement of the second season premiere date for David Letterman’s Netflix program, I luckily have this archival piece loaded up and ready to go.

From the Archive — Quantum of Solace

May 11, 2019May 10, 2019 Dan Seeger

For the second straight Saturday, I reach back for a review of a modern Bond film not previously loaded up to this particular site. This was written for my former online home. Quantum of Solace is the twenty-fifth film to feature … Continue reading From the Archive — Quantum of Solace

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

From the Archive — A History of Violence

April 27, 2019April 24, 2019 Dan Seeger

As the striking of the twentieth anniversary of the 1999 resounds, there’s been a revived interest in arguing that the bygone year in question might have represented the best twelve month span in the long history of cinema. That’s a … Continue reading From the Archive — A History of Violence

From the Archive — 90FM Trivia 1989

April 13, 2019 Dan Seeger

The general intent of this “From the Archive” weekly feature is to drag some old piece of my personal writing and drop it into this shiny digital space. For today, I’m instead going to use the retrospective aspect of my … Continue reading From the Archive — 90FM Trivia 1989

From the Archive — Synecdoche, New York

April 6, 2019April 5, 2019 Dan Seeger

I enjoy tinkering with formats and structure, but I employ the practice rarely. Goofing around for the sake of it feels overly intrusive. There should be a point, as when I spoofed Quentin Tarantino’s title cards to add one more … Continue reading From the Archive — Synecdoche, New York

From the Archive — Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

March 30, 2019March 29, 2019 Dan Seeger

As the new version of Dumbo soar into theaters, it seems a long lifetime since a new directorial effort from Tim Burton was cause for excitement.

From the Archive — The Squid and the Whale

March 23, 2019March 22, 2019 Dan Seeger

I’m entirely sincere when I note it’s pleasing that so many media outlets reported on the surprise arrival of the first child of a movie biz power couple by neglecting the papa. In a culture that still routinely refers to … Continue reading From the Archive — The Squid and the Whale

From the Archive — Transamerica

March 16, 2019 Dan Seeger

I’m not sure I’ve watched more than a couple minutes of Transamerica since my first viewing, and I’m skeptical about how well it holds up. If nothing else, it’s clearer by now that casting a cisgendered actress in a transgendered … Continue reading From the Archive — Transamerica

March 9, 2019 Dan Seeger

Thirty years ago this week, I know what was being played at my college radio station. Or at least I know the ten albums that were being played more than any others. I’ve been sitting on this particular list for … Continue reading From the Archive: 90FM’s Top Ten Albums, Mid-March 1989
