Re: How do you use criticker.com?
I basically just watch the random shit I come across in my day-to-day and use this site as a film journal, of sorts: what I think about the filmed thing the moment after I watch the filmed thing. Often, I come across a ‘review’ I wrote 4-5 years earlier and find it’s either spot-on or wildly off. It...

Re: Joker
Excellent use of music and to a certain extent, dance. My favorite scene, is his routine on the stairs (see poster) to Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll Pt. 2"--well, that and an honorable mention for De Niro's last scene. Absolutely -- although for me a favorite moment (and an early clue o...

Dark Phoenix: An airing of grievances
Walking out of Dark Phoenix , I felt an odd sense of closure. Not so much like reading the last sentence of a book, but more like seeing that book turn to dust before you can finish it – which is as apt a metaphor as I can think of for this character and title – and reconciling yourself to be satisf...

Re: 80s/90s Movie
It's not an even fit but the first film that came to mind was Joe Dante's Matinee (1993).

PMs are always welcome, actually. I've found the active Critickers to be receptive and responsive (and pretty great)

Re: (very) old movies
I think you should be careful with how you give praise to the industry of the past because films were still a product. While it is true that films had become more "flashy," it'd be disingenuous to say that the industry at the time wasn't concerned with profit or marketability. ... "T...

Re: Islamic Terrorism in Film
I'm not the sort of person who believes Muslims to be inherently vile nor do I take much stock into anti-Muslim rhetoric, but are we going to act as if that Islamic terrorism isn't a thing? What's supposed to be the ideal in portraying it in film? Historically, the portrayal of Muslims in western f...
