Greed 1924
without question, my time at greed constitutes one of the most outlandish theater experiences i've ever had.
in the lobby before showtime, i caught sight of a very old woman waiting for the auditorium to open for seating. when one of the ushers gave the final entry call for anybody attending the screening in the other theater, she called out asking what had been said. i told her and she thanked me with a smile, then began singing aloud to no…

Nowhere 1997
it feels almost cosmic that nowhere gained persistent notoriety and fascination in the way it did. caught in the unfortunate twilight of vhs and with no prayer of a re-release on then-new dvd, the only existing versions were significantly compromised — pan & scanned, miscolored, illegally uploaded, crusty as hell. counterintuitively, this may have been the best possible fate; araki envisioned nowhere as the large scale pg-13 theatrical followup to the proudly NSFW doom generation, but in my estimation its towering status in…

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 1974

preceded by an intro from joshua minsoo kim & live set from aaron dilloway

timmy is good, the script hits all the satisfying cliché biopic marks you'd want, and it even has the decency to be well-lit and composed almost the entire time. workmanlike scope fans, as well as anyone annoyed when this kind of movie doesn't feature enough songs: run don't walk!
it also has the distinct leg up on pretty much every single other musical biopic that the smoldering early career scenes where the people around the protagonist have a hard time…

Library 1970
a best-case outcome for commission work from dorsky & hiler, Library treats its rudimentary basis in "industrials" (explanation in MLP's review, which you can find liked below) with the formal touch of its master filmmakers, resulting in a propaganda-lite piece for the new jersey library system that's also one of the most radiant filmworks of any origin. it unfolds as a mellifluous procession of the various interconnected ways that the east sussex public library interfaces with its immediate community, the state library…

Princess Mononoke 1997
at the end of the day, miyazaki's sleeper strength as a director is his understanding that any film is improved by the inclusion of some little guys who are just there
