Companion

‘Companion’ and the shame of trailers telling the whole story

July 6, 2025July 6, 2025 John Hansen Horror Movies

Movie review: Thatcher is great in a darkly winking thriller about budding mistrust at a lake retreat. After the spoiler warning, I share thoughts on the marketing.

One Two Three

In ‘One, Two, Three’ (1961), Wilder knows the ABC’s of good comedy

July 2, 2025July 2, 2025 John Hansen Billy Wilder

Wilder Wednesday (Movie review): Wilder shows “Some Like It Hot” was no fluke by delivering this exhausting but clever romp.

Stick

Wilson’s series takes a good golf swing, can’t quite ‘Stick’ it

June 27, 2025June 27, 2025 John Hansen New Releases

First episode impressions (TV review): But Owen Wilson and Marc Maron help raise the sometimes subpar writing.

Party Girl

Parker Posey is a ‘Party Girl’ (1995) in a librarian world

June 26, 2025June 26, 2025 John Hansen Movies

Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Among Nineties slacker classics, this coming-of-ager is relatively tame and flat through today’s lens.

Buddy Buddy

‘Buddy Buddy’ (1981) one last funny romp from an iconic duo

June 25, 2025May 30, 2025 John Hansen Billy Wilder

Wilder Wednesday (Movie review): Sure, there’s Lemmon and Matthau, but in this case I’m referring to the writing team of Wilder and Diamond.

TMNT Season 7

‘TMNT’ ‘Wises’ up for surprisingly strong Season 7 (1993, CBS)

June 9, 2025June 9, 2025 John Hansen Superhero TV

‘TMNT’ flashback (TV review): David Wise delivers standouts “Night of the Dark Turtle,” “The Legend of Koji” and “Shredder Triumphant!,” plus fan favorite “Night of the Rogues.”

Ninotchka

Wilder serves and learns from Lubitsch in ‘Ninotchka’ (1939)

June 4, 2025May 27, 2025 John Hansen Billy Wilder

Wilder Wednesday (Movie review): Writer Wilder would continue with this blend of comedy, romance and geo-politics/economics when he became a director.

The Paper 1994

Stop the presses: ‘The Paper’ (1994) is a rip-roaring journalism movie

May 29, 2025May 29, 2025 John Hansen Movies

Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Though more comedic than others of its ilk, Ron Howard’s film gets the biz right.

Read more
Stalag 17

‘Stalag 17’ (1953) a mildly sanitized look at POW misery

May 28, 2025May 23, 2025 John Hansen Billy Wilder

Wilder Wednesday (Movie review): This is another example of Wilder’s ability to balance tones, as he delivers a dark history lesson without traumatizing us.

Juno and the Paycock

Hitchcock stumbles into sound era with ‘Juno and the Paycock’ (1930)

May 19, 2025May 19, 2025 John Hansen Alfred Hitchcock

On a Hitchcock kick (Movie review): Although Sean O’Casey’s play is well-regarded, Hitchcock’s adaptation is rightly cited by many as his worst film.
