David Chase’s Small Movie for the Big Screen
Sax von Stroheim writes: Not Fade Away (David Chase, 2012) A few different ways into talking about this movie: As you probably notice, I pay a bit of attention to current movies, but, even so, I completely missed that this … Continue reading
Some Oscar Counterprogramming

“Since You Went Away,” a Culture’s Dreams, and the Agee-DOS Dosado
Fabrizio del Wrongo writes: “Since You Went Away” doesn’t have a great reputation among filmbuffs, and it’s not hard to see why: it’s broad, sentimental, and downright propagandistic in its treatment of small-town American life (at nearly three hours, it’s also looooonnnngggg). … Continue reading

Two Sports Movies From The 1970’s
Sax von Stroheim writes: One’s a masterpiece, one’s an interesting-if-not-exactly-good little movie. First the masterpiece: Slap Shot (George Roy Hill, 1977) A vulgar, American comedy from one of the 70’s most underrated filmmakers.
