Completed my Scottish hat trick with Roman Polanski's 1971 adaptation of Macbeth , which contains a great deal more bloodletting than any other Shakespeare adaptation had up to that point. Even so, it seems to be caught halfway between the colorful pageantry of Laurence Olivier's Richard III and the gritty verisimilitude of Monty Python and the Holy Grail , from which it isn't too far ...

All this month, Turner Classic Movies is showcasing the work of a different Great Director (or two) every day. Tonight the spotlight is on Orson Welles, but I got the jump on the channel by watching my own DVD of 1941's Citizen Kane , which still stands as one of the most assured and audacious debuts in motion picture history. Its stylisticinnovations -- such as the use of deep focus ...
Some people have been calling Drag Me to Hell a return to form for Sam Raimi and that's true in the sense that his early films all dealt with a central character who gets put through hell over the course of 90 minutes. The only real difference -- apart from the more substantial budget he had to work with -- is this time he's being completely literal. Written by Raimi and his brother Ivan ...

It's impossible to know what Franco's government thought they were getting when they invited Luis Buñuel to return to Spain after his long, self-imposed exile to make a film, but 1961's Viridiana turned out to be unqualified masterpiece -- and a great embarrassment to the conservative regime that footed the bill for it. No matter how Buñuel's script (written in collaboration with Julio ...
The first Masters of Horror episode I ever saw was Stuart Gordon's Dreams in the Witch-House , which I got in a two-pack with John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns . From the moment I heard about the series I was excited about it, and when I found out Gordon was directing an adaptation of an H.P.
