NYC Noir Retro @ Film Forum, Part II
Here’s the rest of the stuff I checked out during Film Forum’s excellent “NYC Noir” series. Again, there were a few that I really wanted to see and just plain missed, but overall, I’m pretty happy with the percentage of … -
NYC Noir Retro @ Film Forum, Part I
For five big weeks (six if you count the week-long run of “The French Connection” at its end), Film Forum is doing a killer retrospective called “NYC Noir”, a collection of noir and neo-noir pictures shot on location in … -
Classics: "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "Airplane!" at MoMA
I intended to take in more of the films during the first phase of the Museum of Modern Art’s “MOMA Laughs” series than I did; I can explain no better than to say that it’s a holiday week, and what the hell. We were, howe… -
Classics: "Donovan's Reef"
I’m deplorably unfamiliar with the film collaborations of John Ford and John Wayne; I’m not quite sure what kind of a person can call themselves a cinema buff having seen neither Stagecoach nor The Searchers, but I try t… -
Theatre Hopping: "Shrek The Third", "Bug", and "Faces" at MoMA
Watching Shrek The Third (**) is like catching an episode from the 9th or so season of Happy Days; the situations are stale and the characters have worn out their welcome. Put simply, this third Shrek is simply not as fu… -
Short Review: "The Long Goodbye" @ Film Forum

In honor of his February concert at Radio City and his upcoming honorary Oscar, both the Museum of Modern Art and Film Forum have been showing films with scores by famed composer Ennio Morricone this month. Here's some t… -
Woody Allen Retro @ Film Forum, Part II
It's hardly worth the effort to make further note of the Allen films I saw at Film Forum this week, since the terrific David Rakoff wrote a marvelous daily blog of the Allen fest (he attended every film). Read it here. H… -
Altman @ IFC Center: "Thieves Like Us" & "The Delinquents"
Most of the films that played this week at IFC for the Altman retro were things I'd seen in the theatre, like "A Prairie Home Companion" and "The Player", so I skipped. I'm seeing more of his next week. I did take in the… -
Altman @ IFC Center: "MASH"
IFC Center kicked off its 3-week Robert Altman retrospective this weekend; of the 27 films they're running, I'm planning (planning) to catch 17, most of them ones I've never seen before--though a few, like Nashville, McC…
