  • Pooches, Penguins & Promises: A Tribute to Naomi Watts0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Your Webb critic has two favorite actresses. One — though she’s really before my time — is Golden Age golden-girl Myrna Loy.

  • “Nosferatu”: Smart, Scary … And Really, Really Gross0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Robert Eggers’s new Nosferatu might have been a masterpiece if it weren’t quite so long. Or so gross. Or so sexually explicit. That’s three strikes, I guess. And in terms of being “out,” I came perilously close to exiting the theater after one horrific scene with a harmless, hapless (and eventually headless) pigeon. Why must

    The Bookworm Sez: “Angel of Vengeance” by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child0

    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    They say that you can never go back home again. Oh, sure, you can physically be there a few times. You can stay overnight, sleep in your old bed, eat at the same table, but something will’ve changed. Home isn’t home anymore, it’s different. Whether it’s a week or ten years, you can never go

    Joseph W. Smith III

    What would you say to a single action scene that required 78 shooting days and 200 stunt men? Those are the stats on the central chase in George Miller’s Furiosa; and the film is worth seeing for that alone. Happily, it has lots of other great stuff, too. This fifth installment in the long-running Mad
