NEW TO ME: THE HOLE IN THE WALL/AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY/SING SINNER SING/RECKLESS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Discussing THE HOLE IN THE WALL (1929, Robert Florey) with Edward G. Robinson and Claudette Colbert, plus films likely to be referenced on the new The Bisexuals season of YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY (1931, Josef von Sternberg) with Phillips Holmes (one of Libby Holman’s male lovers) in the lead, plus two films fictionalizing Holman’s marriage to doomed tobacco heir Smith Reynolds—SING, SINNER, SING (1933) with Leila Hyams as faux-Libby and Don Dillaway as faux-Smith and Victor Fl
EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC/BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Examining John Boorman’s uneven, excoriated on original release, follow-up to THE EXORCIST and a 49-years-later documentary trying hard to convince today’s audiences of its merits and absolve Boorman of any lingering regrets.
MY SUPERGIRL POST-MORTEM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adaptations of DC’s SUPERGIRL tend to be underwhelming (didn’t see the TV series with Melissa Benoist). The 1984 campy Salkind production had Helen Slater upstaged by post-MOMMIE DEAREST Faye Dunaway. This one has been overly firebombed by misogynistic fanboys, for which the casting of Jason Momoa as Lobo wasn’t soothing enough. It does have its merits—mostly Milly Alcock’s transformation from depressed punk nihilism to responsible heroine.
