Truman Capote was an author, screenwriter, playwright, and actor probably still most known for his nonfiction bestseller IN COLD BLOOD. The novel itself has been adapted for film, and several films were made about Capote’s writing of the book and the lingering effect it had on him. But Capote is also famous for, among other things, his unfinished novel ANSWERED PRAYERS. Capote had entered a charmed circle of New York society women, whom he collectively called “the Swans.” These women included Jacqueline Onassis’s sister Lee Radziwill and Babe Paley. Capote kept putting off finishing the work, but sold four chapters […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Tilda Swinton, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Tom Waits, Caleb Landry Jones Writer: Jim Jarmusch Director: Jim Jarmusch Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: June 14, 2019 If you are familiar with the works filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, describing THE DEAD DON’T DIE as a Jim Jarmusch movie with zombies should tell you pretty much all you need to know about it. If you’re not familiar with Jarmusch’s oeuvre, perhaps the best way to attempt to convey the experience by noting this is a review, written by someone who’s aware that it’s a review, […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Chloe Sevigny, Timothy Hutton, Natasha Lyonne, Balthasar Getty, Taryn Manning, Stella Schnabel, Sadie Seelert, Haley Murphy, Bridget McGarry, Blue Lindberg, Mina Sundwall, Emma Adler, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Lydia Hearst Writer: Tara Subkoff Director: Tara Subkoff Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date (theatrical & VOD): November 20, 2015 #HORROR is rightly likely to cause a stir, partly because its protagonists are twelve-year-old girls and partly because writer/director Tara Subkoff has an ear for what girls of that age sound like, especially when they’re being mean.
