That Peter Hyams is considered an auteur says all that need be said about this theory, to me. :? I am not saying Hyams' movies are necessarily great art, but the fact that he personally executes most of his films' key artistic tasks, gives him a degree of authorship that few others can claim (parti...

I've always thought of OZ as one of those movies that shows what the studio system could do when it used all of its resources--and usually in the service of a producer, not a director. OZ, GONE WITH THE WIND, BEN HUR, PLANET OF THE APES--these are all movies that (to use Kael's comment on Apes) lay ...

I'm glad all of this material is available for the real fans. I definitely LIKE this movie and have a great emotional attachment due to its color and excellence, but I was being sincere about the TV commercials and such--it's almost a post-modern art installation in that sense. While I think the per...

Route 66
I picked the first season of this up from the library and was curious if anyone here had seen the show, and could offer some thoughts.
I'll post some comments as I watch, but was wondering if there were any fans here.

Dark Star seemed as much Dan O'Bannon's as Carpenter's. which could be why I like it and have no use for most of Carpenter's output. His stuff seems very boxed-in and airless to me, with cardboard characters and nothing interesting going on under the bland surfaces. He's one of those directors who, ...

Another example of how this franchise doesn't progress: That's a key word that the owners of these franchises rarely think about--PROGRESS. Of course sequels are about making money, but how about making the series' develop, so when people hear that another installment is on the way, they're intrigu...
