Articles tagged "james mason" Film DVD ReviewVoyage of the Dammedby Terrence Butcher[7.May.09] :. An affecting, if flawed, middlebrow drama about a seldom-discussed Depression-era tragedy.  Film DVD ReviewMichael Powell Double Featureby Stephen Snart[29.Jan.09] :. ‘Age of Consent’ is a rather unfortunate swan song, but ‘A Matter of Life and Death’ makes this DVD set well worth it.  Column: Deconstruction ZoneThe Panting Maniac: Chasing Lolita on a Grim 50-Year Anniversaryby Rodger Jacobs[15.Aug.08] :. What the author finds on the bottom end of American pop culture in 1958 is an environment ripe and primed, no matter how subconsciously or keep-it-in-the-family quiet, for the sexual exploitation of youth. Featured Article Film FeaturePaul Newman’s Influential, Classic Performances in The Hustler and The Verdictby Matt Mazur[18.Oct.07] :. In an era of relatively reserved American cinema, when most actors would be concerned with their images as leading men, Newman was not afraid to experiment and go with his artistic impulses.  TV DVD ReviewOrigins of the Mafiaby Jake Meaney[26.Mar.07] :. A tepid and almost unintelligible period costume drama that only tangentially touches upon the secret history of an organization and culture that valued secrecy and silence above all else.  Film DVD ReviewUnknown Chaplin: The Master at Work (1986)by Dante A. Ciampaglia[2.Feb.06] :. With its brilliantly in-depth and astutely investigated look at Chaplin's work, as well as its incredibly detailed and loving reconstruction of lost footage from nearly every phase of his career, this documentary should have a home in any film lover's collection. |
