The version of PILLION that shows up as a featured film on your HBO MAX home screen is probably the edited version. To find the Unrated version, scroll down to ‘You May Also Like’.
BACKROOMS is not for the claustrophobic. Did any of the reviews advise so? Probably not. I was ready to bolt at the first crawlspace scene but Chiwetel Ejiofor held me in place. I will never see the movie again but a great performance always makes a second viewing unnecessary.
John Korty’s THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN (1974) is on Prime. A ground-shifting film. Cicely Tyson won the Lead Actress Emmy. They gave her an extra one too - Actress of the Year — a thing they never did again but which seemed to all the world to be exactly right.
For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.
“Death of a Salesman" tells the story of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman chasing the American Dream, but never quite able to reach it. Now, the classic is back on Broadway in a new production that underscores the play’s enduring relevance.
The revival has become both a box office and critical success, earning nine Tony Award nominations.
@JeffreyBrown sat down with actors Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf.
@TheBrowneesHR Wrong? Is there an absolute? If Blade Runner is the measure for “wrong”, we’re all in trouble. Thanks for being the guy who reads my posts, Patrick. Happy weekend.
All 20 Split Diopter Shots in Brian De Palma's 1980 erotic psychological thriller. They are not gimmicks. They are part of his visual storytelling language.
It’s been a mystery that this fabulous doc on THE HERETIC struggled so to find distribution. It’s a delight, but the bonus for a distributor is that EXORCIST fans will absolutely buy it on demand and on Blu-ray. They are devoted and this will be an essential purchase.

Hooray. David Kittredge’s documentary on the making of THE HERETIC is enthralling and not so incidentally, features an interview with the late Louise Fletcher that is worth its weight in gold.

In interviews for his Sally Field movie, the actor Lewis Pullman keeps naming John Yount’s “Toots in Solitude” (1984)
as one of his favorite novels. That’s grand of him. It is indeed a wonderful novel, short, funny, profound. You should read it. https://t.co/SguGwCuML0
I dipped back into my archives for this one. RIP, Tom... ‘Fantasticks’ Lyricist Tom Jones Was Sanguine About the Musical’s Tangled History With Hollywood, Including a Near-Miss With Barbra Streisand https://t.co/pFlPZLhx0Q via @variety
Thinking of my mom, who’s in memory care, but hopefully she remembers deep down the times she’d check me out of school early to see a matinee. She’d write a note: “Please excuse Chuck early…” I’d look over and watch her watching the movie. My first and forever best movie buddy.
Philip Caputo wrote a best-selling classic about Vietnam, shared a Pulitzer for uncovering Chicago’s voting fraud, was captured by militants in Lebanon & shot by others, covered wars in Afghanistan to Africa, hunted big game & caught bigger fish

“Did you change Dickens Street to Dickhole Street?” The third episode of WIDOW’S BAY made me laugh out loud more than once and how often does that happen these days? Funny and then goofy scary—so many transitions in 40 minutes. They’ve found their groove.
