My #LastFourWatched

A Sondheim revival.

An unusual documentary.

The chaos of film-making.

A Knives Out mystery.

It's been a good week.

My ★★★ review of Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. (1951)

#Letterboxd #FilmSky
A ★★★ review of Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. (1951)
Gregory Peck takes on the role of Captain Horatio Hornblower in a 1951 adaptation of Forester's first three books, which makes for a rather episodic high seas adventure. And one in dire need of Britis...

A ★★★★ review of Captain Fantastic (2016)
Captain Fantastic stars Viggo Mortensen as a survivalist raising his kids outside the system, at least until their mother's death forces him to bring them into the so-called "real world", where he is ...

My ★★★½ review of Captain Blood (1935)

#Letterboxd #FilmSky
A ★★★½ review of Captain Blood (1935)
Captain Blood is a relatively serious film for Errol Flynn (his first as leading man), smacking of the historical biopic, even though it's actually based on a novel about an entirely fictional doctor ...

#Letterboxd #FilmSky
A ★★★ review of Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
The extensively-reshot Captain America: Brave New World fails to lift beyond the mid action scenes, sometimes cringy dialog, and general shrug of the thing, I think it's main problem is that it's real...

A ★★★★½ review of Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Captain America: Civil War is the Avengers movie Age of Ultron sadly wasn't. Or it's BvS done right (or frankly, the movie the WB tried to make to cut the grass right under Marvel's feet). Or it's the...

A ★★★★½ review of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
I think Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an odd title, because it makes it sound like Cap is the Soldier. The real title should have been The Agents of SHIELD That Are Actually Awesome. No sligh...

My #LastFourWatched

Because it was yesterday, even if I'm not American.

The original Vanilla Sky.

What if Kafka was a comedian?

Remaking Kurosawa is a pointless venture.

#Letterboxd #FilmSky
A ★★★ review of Captain America (1990)
I remember having some affection for 1990's Captain America, a movie made on the cheap, but not necessarily cheaply made. It has moments of atmosphere, lots of beautiful locations (Croatia as Italy, w...

A ★★★ review of Captain America II: Death Too Soon (1979)
If the first Reb Brown movie was like a pilot, then Captain America II: Death Too Soon is like that first official episode where they recast the female lead (I'm agnostic on this, but she has less che...

#Letterboxd #FilmSky
A ★★ review of Captain America (1979)
I find it rather confounding that a lot of superhero television projects of the 1970s refused to be beholden to the comics. In the case of The Incredible Hulk, it somehow still worked. In the case of ...

Anyone who knows me knows I can't stand the conspiracy theory about the faked moon landing. Set 5 minutes into the future, the astronaut thriller Capricorn One doesn't believe that either, but it arra...

A ★★★½ review of The Blue Gardenia (1953)
There's just something I like about Anne Baxter, and she's so good at light comedy that I can't believe her career didn't necessarily skew that way. Her presence in The Blue Gardenia (and that of her ...

A ★★★½ review of Capricious Summer (1968)
Not gonna lie, after about 15 minutes I rewound Capricious Summer and started it again, having failed to get a handle on it. Some movies are like that and though I think maybe I'd have to have been ra...

A ★★★ review of Capote (2005)
While Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance is unimpeachable in Capote, the film just reminds me why I'm so disinterested in most biopics. There's so much that could have been done thematically with th...

Robert deNiro biting a woman's cheek off is what put me off him for at least a decade. I couldn't unsee it.

Paranoid fun out of Norway.

(Not) National Lampoon's Caribbean Vacation.

Snowy Mountain Moby Dick.

An unfairly maligned actioner.

A ★★★★ review of Cape Fear (1962)
How great is Bernard Herrmann's score for the original 1962 Cape Fear? It drapes what is otherwise a bright small town and various vacation spots with an eerie menace from the start. It's great. But t...
