A review of Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982)
Last year I did a deep dive on Robert Altman (yearofaltman) and watched something like 25 Altman movies, five of which were rewatches. I’ve never done something like this with any other director, at l...

Here's a bit of a lost gem from the mid-80s.
A ★★★ review of Streets of Fire (1984)
I have never heard of this movie, even though I was the right age when it came out. It was Walter Hill’s (The Warriors) follow up to 48 Hours. Called a Rock n Roll fable, it is the 50s through the len...

One of my all time favorites directed by Terry Gilliam (Brazil) and written by David Webb Peoples (Blade Runner)
30 years ago, a legendary director made a time-travel masterpiece that was ahead of its time
12 Monkeys may not be the most iconic Gilliam movie, but it might be his flat-out best
