In researching the Variety critic Chicot a few months ago, I stumbled across a detail that sent me down a rabbit hole.

September 26 was the birthday of fitness pioneer and health guru Jack LaLanne (1914-2011). LaLanne’s significance lies at the very pivot point between old school physical culture of the mail order era (Max Sick and Charles Atlas) to the more modern period of Richard Simmons, and the Jane Fonda workout videos. The Jack Lalanne Show […]

But the rest of the story is too loose to matter, and the film ends up just about watchable. That’s the brief review. A longer review follows, and it may contain spoilers. […]

September 26, 1975 was the date of the American release of that singular cinematic specimen, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Is Rocky Horror the hub of the universe?

Director: John Lee Hancock Starring: Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Annie Rose Buckley P. L. Travers, a London author who is financially broke, visits Los Angeles to meet Walt Disney, who is keen to adapt her Mary Poppins books for the cinema. However, his methods do not meet her approval. I absolutely loved ‘Mary Poppins’, so […]

Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa play the two friends. The film’s first half depicts their struggles in battling discrimination and getting a job, and the second half has them staring at a fate that’s even more horrible. The poetry of ‘Masaan’, Neeraj’s first film, is replaced by hard-hitting prose, and this change in flavour works […]

Before anyone comes at me saying that Trees cannot hold political or economic ideologies, let me be the first to admit that they really can’t. These are just my interpretations about the things […]
