The Big Wheel is a movie I haven’t seen in a couple of decades, but I actually remember watching it off and on late night on TV when I was growing up. It’s a Mickey Rooney film, and it played often. Perhaps because it’s a movie …

I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …

This is the first avant garde film from Godfrey Reggio that uses a completely unique narrative based on the rythm between images and music. Or actually, it isn’t completely unique, but I believe Koyaanisqatsi was the first full feature film to be created like this and certainly the most …
