Jazz 2001
Few people know that the original working title was Ken Burns Literally Knows Nothing about Jazz, So He Lets the Content Be Entirely Dictated by Established Douchbag and Imitator with No Creativity or Originality of His Own, Wynton Marsalis (Whom Miles Davis Rightfully Hated and Thought Was a Poser), and Stanley "Old Man Yells at Cloud" Crouch (Whom Tried and Failed Miserably to Be a Drummer in the New York Loft Jazz Scene of the 1970s—Which Was a Very Welcoming…

Christine 1983
Stephen King particularly doesn't like two film adaptations of his books, this and The Shining. Which if you've seen The Shining but you haven't seen Christine, that's probably all you need to be convinced to see it. But you know what I find interesting? King considers The Dead Zone one of the best film adaptations of his work.
Then there are the parallels to consider: Both Christine and The Dead Zone were released in 1983. Both films have their directors…

The Velvet Vampire 1971
Stephanie Rothman understood what Amy Heckerling did not: If someone is a vampire, then that someone is going to be bisexual.
P.S. I kinda needed the husband to get killed sooner because his face creeped me out (I mean, besides him just being annoying to begin with, lol).

Smiley Face 2007
(1) The only good stoner comedy. The only stoner comedy that matters.
(2) Warning: Danny Masterson jump scare. (But I guess he was playing a creep... so, actually good casting, I guess, for real.)
(3) Excellent "Memories Can't Wait" needle-drop.
(4) Superior to After Hours—suck it, Scorsese!
(5) The Dr. Bjorn's Root Beer (obviously a reference to Dr. Brown—but do they even have Dr. Brown in California? Because, you know, it's a specifically, like, NY root beer) makes me really…Translated from by

It Could Happen to You 1994
Haters are gonna say, "Pha-shaw, no cop is anywhere remotely close to as good a person as Nicholas Cage is in this." Yeah, no shit. The movie doesn't even try to suggest there are other cops like him or he is representative of cops (Rosie Perez even complains that Nicholas Cage is not a dirty cop). The whole reason Cage and Bridget Fonda fall for each other is because they are both uniquely good people, and not only are they…

The Man Who Fell to Earth 1976
I always wanted to watch this as a diehard Bowie fan. I didn't know beforehand that it was primarily shot in New Mexico—I guess add that to the reasons why it's super weird that I'm only getting to this film now.
But truthfully: What the fuck was this? I sincerely hope Roeg was on all the drugs in the world (my guess is if it was just cocaine, this film would be way more watchable—I think quaaludes likely played a…
