No Country for Old Men: The Oscar-Winning Best Picture of 2007

No Country for Old Men is the 2007 Western film that earned the Coen Brothers their first Best Picture win at the Academy Awards. I missed the film during it’s initial theatrical run. It’s not the only 2007 film that I missed in theaters. I would later watch the film on DVD after renting through Netflix. However, this did not come until December 2009. A lot of it goes back to scheduling conflicts and trying…

The Beatles: Sam Mendes Making Four Films For Sony Pictures

Filmmaker Sam Mendes and Neal Street Productions will be making four separate films about The Beatles for Sony Pictures. I’ll expand on this a bit later but this news is huge. It’s funny though–I was just talking to a colleague last week about how documentaries like The Beatles Anthology and The Beatles: Get Back make such narrative films impossible. A film can be good in the right hands if it has the right care and…

Jeff Rowe talks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

Jeff Rowe spoke with Solzy at the Movies in late December about the critically acclaimed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a very different kind of TMNT film. Unlike most films and series, the filmmakers went above and beyond in casting teenagers for the film. It wasn’t a surprise that I enjoyed this film upon watching it last year especially since Rowe co-directed the 2021 Solzy Award-winning animated feature,…

Einstein and the Bomb: Netflix Doc Leaves More To Be Desired

Einstein and the Bomb takes a docu-drama approach in telling Albert Einstein’s story in the years before, during, and after World War 2. The film disclaims at the very beginning that all words in the film were spoken or written by Einstein during his lifetime. Admirable but the way it goes about telling his story leaves more to be desired. It packs so much into 76 minutes of film. Make no mistake that Einstein’s story…

Bob Marley: One Love Falls Short of Musical Biopic Standards

Bob Marley: One Love is plagued by some of the same things that turn musical biopics into a film that can be hit or miss. Musical biopics can not just live or die on the music alone. The genre has never been the same following Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. It’s very telling when the parody film is stronger than most musical biopics. But for every such biopic that gets Oscar nominations, there are…
