Hoopleheads: Episode 13 “A Lie Agreed Upon, Part 1”

February 2, 2019 By Søren Hough and J Rosenfield 2 Comments

https://www.hbo.com/deadwood/season-02/1-a-lie-agreed-upon-part-1

After a literal year away from the mic, J and I are very happy to be back! For the next few weeks, we will be covering Season 2 of Deadwood, beginning with “A Lie Agreed Upon, Part 1.” Since last we entered the frontier town, a lot of news — both positive and negative — has emerged around the show. This […]

Interview with Nora Twomey, Director of The Breadwinner

February 13, 2018 By Søren Hough Leave a Comment

Cartoon Saloon has knocked it out of the park ever since they hit the scene in 2009 with The Secret of Kells. Their feature-length movies have consistently garnered praise from critics. Nora Twomey, who co-directed Kells, is back as a solo director on the studio’s third film: The Breadwinner. The Breadwinner is an adaptation of […]

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

December 29, 2017 By Nathan Frontiero Leave a Comment

https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/star-wars-the-last-jedi.jpg

“Let the past die,” says Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) to Rey (Daisy Ridley) at a pivotal moment in The Last Jedi. It’s a surprising line to hear in the eighth episode of a 40-year-old saga. It also perfectly captures writer-director Rian Johnson’s approach to Star Wars. Unlike J.J. Abrams’ The Force Awakens, a showcase for […]

Interview with Astrid Goldsmith, Writer/Director of Squirrel Island

December 4, 2017 By Søren Hough Leave a Comment

In a garage somewhere in Folkestone in Kent, a grey squirrel named Dot begins to move, blinking and stumbling forward as she comes to life. Dot looks around an impenetrable, foreboding forest, rife with do-it-yourself artistry. A human hand reaches over to adjust her fabric-covered arms just so. The hand belongs to Astrid Goldsmith, an […]

Ghostwood Radio: Episode 5 “The One-Armed Man”

November 14, 2017 By Søren Hough and J Rosenfield Leave a Comment

In contrast to the previous episode’s elegiac tone, “The One-Armed Man” is a heated affair. Several plotlines kick into gear, and the lives of the town’s residents begin to intersect. Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) spends most of the episode following up on the leads from his dream. He meets up with the eponymous one-armed man, who […]

Ghostwood Radio: Episode 4 “Rest in Pain”

November 3, 2017 By J Rosenfield and Søren Hough Leave a Comment

“Rest in Pain” is a melancholy installment of Twin Peaks. This week we see many of Laura Palmer’s friends and family cry out in anguish as she is finally put to rest. Meanwhile, Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) uses the funeral as a litmus test as he continues to scope out suspects for her murder. Prior to the […]

Austin Film Festival 2017: Lady Bird

November 1, 2017 By Nathan Frontiero Leave a Comment

https://media.vanityfair.com/photos/59aa467cdbf2dc4cd1e48c06/16:9/pass/lady-bird-telluride-review-saoirse-ronan.jpg

Lady Bird is more than a time capsule. Writer-director Greta Gerwig plumbed her own Sacramento adolescence for a work of fiction that’s self-reflective but rarely precious. She renders the inextricable pain and joy of family, home and growing up in careful strokes. Gerwig’s proxy is Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson (Saoirse Ronan), a spunky senior at […]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

October 21, 2017 By Shrinkhala Dawadi Leave a Comment

https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2017/03/16/08/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2-1366x768-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2-6474.jpg

I wanted to like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I really did. And I enjoyed it enough when I was watching it at the theater. But moments after the credits rolled (and I’d sat through all the mid and post-credit scenes), I left feeling empty. Guardians Vol. 2 is visually stunning, with bright colors […]

Ghostwood Radio: Episode 3 “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer”

October 18, 2017 By J Rosenfield and Søren Hough 2 Comments

Twin Peaks continues to juggle the jovial tone of last week’s episode with the crime serial seriousness in “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer.” In this episode, Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) employs a special technique for identifying the next lead in his case. His bizarre antics lead him to Leo (Eric DaRe), an abusive and violent […]
