Tokyo Olympiad

On December 20, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

So about a month ago, I was prepping my most recent episode of "Fallen Walls Open Curtains" where I covered events from three Olympic Games during the Cold War, and I wondered if my cable service carried the Olympic channel and whether or not there's anything worth watching on it. I discovered ... Yes, we …

While We’re Young

On November 25, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

I have to admit that while I had saved Noah Baumbach's 2014 "people confronting middle age" comedy to my Kanopy watchlist a while ago, I kept skipping it in favor of other movies (mostly crappy horror movies and rockumentaries). I'd tried watching his film Kicking and Screaming sometime back in the Nineties, but never got …

It Comes At Night

On October 31, 2020October 30, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

I guess since it's Halloween, I should look at a horror movie. And since we're in the middle of a pandemic, I guess I should look at a pandemic horror movie? It Comes At Night is an A24 release and that alone is what drew me to the film because everything I've seen from the …

Cloak & Dagger (1984)

On September 14, 2020September 13, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

I had to put 1984 in parentheses because there is a recent Freeform show beased on the 1980s Marvel Comics series and I didn't want to get anyone confused. Not like anyone's reading this anyway. So this is one in a genre of kid adventure movies from the 1980s that puts someone around the age …

Super 8

On September 13, 2020September 13, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

Oh man, where do I begin with this? While I don't think I'm a "fan" of J.J. Abrams, I can say that between Alias, Lost (though Damon Lindelof was behind that more than J.J.), and both Stars (Trek and Wars), I've seen enough of his work to level some sort of educated opinion. Super 8 …

Two Movies About Ghosts

On August 18, 2020August 14, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

Don't ask me why I decided to pin a bunch of ghost stories to my Kanopy watch list, but it seems like I've got horror on my mind.  Maybe it's because of the way the world is going to complete shit this year and I need to see something that feeds my current pain or …

Into the Forest

On August 17, 2020August 13, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

Sometime in the near future, society is devastated by a cataclysmic event, one that causes a massive power outage throughout the country.  Living in this society are Nell, Eva, and their father, who prior to the event moved to a house in the middle of a secluded forest.  Eva (played by Evan Rachel Wood) is …

The End of the World Cult

On August 14, 2020August 11, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

I've always been fascinated by cults. No, I'm not joining one.  Calm down. So I've always been fascinated by cults and recently fell down a rabbit hole of podcasts about them (a review to come later, but I will tell you that Generation Cult, IndoctriNation, and the Waco season of American Scandal are really great), …

Bettie Page Reveals All!

On August 11, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, ReviewsLeave a comment

In my quest to find free entertainment via my public library, I discovered the movie streaming service called Kanopy, which seems to have its fair share of really great foreign and independent films as well as documentaries.  Or at least that seems to be what I've been gravitating toward when I have added things to …

Blood Sisters

On August 2, 2020 By Tom PanareseIn Films, Reviews, UncategorizedLeave a comment

So New Jersey has a pretty good track record when it comes to independent, low-budget movies and when I saw someone on social media link to this very random low budget horror flick from 1987 released by Cannon, I was intrigued.  I mean, I love a good shitty horror movie and Cannon=boobs, so ... good, …
