“The Menu” is sharp as a knife. This acidic dark comedy is an excellent satire of haute cuisine and foodie culture. It’s one of the best films of 2022. Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult lead an excellent ensemble cast.
Martin McDonagh’s melancholy comedy-drama “The Banshees of Inisherin” focuses on a friendship dissolving, artistry, and depression. The performances are incredible.
“Black Widow” is a tightly constructed and well paced film noir shot in CinemaScope. Twilight Time gave the film a release.
No Down Payment is a deeply cynical look at the troubled suburban lives of the post-war generation. Martin Ritt directs an excellent cast that includes Tony Randall and Joanne Woodward. Twilight Time gave the film a Blu-ray release with a great transfer provided by 20th Century Fox.
Satan Never Sleeps features a strong performance by William Holden and lush cinematography by Oswald Morris, but the sexual politics of the latter half of the film feel dated in our present time. Twilight Time has given the film a beautiful release.
The Hot Rock is an enjoyable caper film with engaging performances by both Robert Redford and George Segal. Twilight Time have an immaculate transfer for the release.
The Quiller Memorandum is a great excuse to watch George Segal, Alec Guinness, and Max Von Sydow in an espionage film together. With striking cinematography by Erwin a Hiller, the film shines from a new 4K transfer for Twilight Time.
The River’s Edge is an unsentimental color noir with strong performances by Ray Milland and Anthony Quinn.
The Chairman is almost a classic, but a limp middle act hampers the film from its true potential.
