Pensive Prowler #14: Nobody from Nowhere
Pensive Prowler #14 by Dmetri Kakmi Nobody from Nowhere I’m Nobody! Who are you? Are you Nobody, too? Then there’s a pair of us — don’t tell! They’d banish us, you know. How dreary to be Somebody! How public, like a Frog To tell one’s name the livelong June To an admiring Bog!… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #207: 2017 in Review Part 3D
The Curator of Schlock #207 by Jeff Shuster 2017 in Review Part 3D I didn’t actually see any movies in 3D. Fail. August Wind River Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen star in a non-Avengers movie. I guess you would surmise that they’re playing different characters since this is a non-Marvel related movie and you’d be… Continue reading

The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #67: Tromeo and Juliet (1996)
67. Lloyd Kaufman’s Tromeo and Juliet (1996) Last week, the bourgeoisie wet dream that is Carlo Carlei’s Romeo and Juliet so dismayed me that I decided the time had come to try Tromeo and Juliet. From time to time, I review films that may seem tangential to Shakespearean theatre, such as Strange Brew and Gnomeo and Juliet and… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #206: 2017 in Review Part Deux
The Curator of Schlock #206 by Jeff Shuster 2017 in Review Part Deux More movies, more troubles. Your curator continues this week with more impressions of the films of 2017. This was a mistake. I really don’t know what to say about them. But maybe something will come to mind as I plug along. By… Continue reading

The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #66: Romeo and Juliet (2013)
66. Carlo Carlei’s Romeo and Juliet (2013) Why does Carlo Carlei’s Romeo and Juliet make me cranky? I think part of the problem is that David Tattersall’s camera is a little too enamored with the posh art direction of Gianpaolo Rifino and Armando Savoia. These Renaissance mansions of Verona make our best museums look like hovels,… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #205: 2017 in Review
The Curator of Schlock #205 by Jeff Shuster 2017 in Review I’m finished. I just can’t anymore! Okay. Maybe that was an overstatement. It’s not a cry for help. Just a little burned out these days. I saw many movies this year, many in the actual movie theater. Was 2017 a good year for movies?… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #204 by Jeff Shuster Doctor Butcher, M.D. The M.D. stands for Medical Deviant. Happy Black Friday, everybody. I hope you’re getting your shop on, mace in hand, so you can get that deal on zip drives down at your local Circuit City. I know most of you were dining on turkey or… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #202: Robocop 2
The Curator of Schlock #202 by Jeff Shuster Robocop 2 Sequelitis isn’t such a bad thing. I don’t know what to say. I’m a bit tuckered out this week. Was tuckered out last week too. It’s been a long year, but it’s coming to an end. I still have yet to review a movie starring… Continue reading

The Rogue’s Guide to Shakespeare on Film #62: Hamlet (2009)
62. Gregory Doran’s Hamlet (2009) Gregory Doran’s 2009 film version of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2008 run of Hamlet boasts a tremendous cast, with David Tennant as the Danish prince, Patrick Stewart as both his uncle and his father’s ghost, and Penny Downie as Gertrude. This is a re-staging of that production on film soundstages… Continue reading
