Number 8 on the Top Ten Films of 1968, over at Britannica Blog, is Mel Brooks’ The Producers, a work of comic brilliance. I don’t have anything to say about the movie other than it makes me laugh whenever I see it. And if you want to see two great comic performances, see the movie [...]

Can such things be? Another review. A movie I had forgotten about till I stumbled upon it amongst my numerous DVDs. The review goes like this:
When you describe the film, almost all of the elements that make The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996) a thoroughly enjoyable film sound like reasons for not liking it. [...]

Yes, I finally reviewed a movie. And it goes like this:
I’ve had The Woman in the Window (1944) in my “to be watched” pile for a very long time. And this is odd given that I was anxious to watch it. With Fritz Lang directing and the script coming from Nunnally Johnson, I had some fairly [...]
