A new look at an old serial killer

September 13, 2007 by Dave Knadler

I’ve long been fascinated by unsolved crimes. So the other night I watched “Zodiac,” about the serial killer who terrorized the Bay Area beginning in 1969 and was never caught. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr., the film didn’t do all that well at the box office — maybe because the murders attributed […]

The last person to see ‘Lives of Others"

September 4, 2007 by Dave Knadler

This blog is about as far behind the curve as it can get, so I suppose I shouldn’t be too embarrassed to heartily endorse a movie everyone’s already seen. Regarding all those great reviews you’ve seen for The Lives of Others, let me just say this: Me too. I pushed it up to the […]

Say hello to the other Ben Kingsley

August 29, 2007 by Dave Knadler

The other night I was still tossing and turning at 1:30 a.m., as is often the case, so I grabbed the remote. The chance of finding something decent to watch at that hour is right up there with winning it all at Powerball, but this time I got lucky: Sexy Beast was on one […]

‘Dallas’ redux, without the shoulder pads

August 24, 2007 by Dave Knadler

It’s good to see Hollywood finally talking about making good movies again. I’m referring, of course, to “Dallas,” which is technically the last American television series not to have been made into a feature film (except for “My Mother The Car,” a Viacom release scheduled for 2009). Variety reports John Travolta has been signed […]

I can’t wait until Batman dies

August 16, 2007 by Dave Knadler

But that’s never going to happen, is it? Not with yet another sequel, The Dark Knight, in the works for the summer of ’08. What’s up with this American fascination with comic-book movies in general and Batman movies in particular? Let’s see, The Dark Knight will bring us up to six Batman films in […]

It’s just one click. But nooooo….

August 12, 2007 by Dave Knadler

It has come to my attention that almost no one is voting on my film noir poll. Normally I’d consider this a personal affront and ample cause for a profanity-laced rant on how nobody cares anymore, nobody. But my wife Tess has pointed out it’s probably because I didn’t include her personal favorite neo-noir: […]

A thrice-told tale — but it’s told pretty well

August 5, 2007 by Dave Knadler

Unsure of the proper sequence of titles, my wife recently referred to this latest entry as “The Bourne Redundancy.” Ha ha. But I have to admit, it’s not too far from the truth. The story of Jason Bourne, the ex-CIA assassin with no past — and, his ex-handlers hope, no future — has now […]
