Movie Review: Moonage Daydream

By Jack Silbert on September 27, 2022

4.5 stars out of 5The world didn’t necessarily need another David Bowie documentary. I mean, I’m a big fan, not a superfan or anything, and I’d already seen two different Bowie docs in the past several years. But director Brett Morgen, with full access to the Thin White Duke’s archives, delivers something very different, very […]

Movie Review: Barbarian

By Jack Silbert on September 16, 2022

4 stars out of 5On September 10, 2001, my buddy Terry and I went to see the pretty decent horror flick Jeepers Creepers which starred Justin Long. (He’ll always be Ed’s Warren Cheswick to me.) A couple of things have happened personally and globally since back then, yet on September 13, 2021, I found myself […]

Movie Review: Funny Pages

By Jack Silbert on August 30, 2022

4 stars out of 5You have to hand it to Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates — they’ve churned out a couple of super-talented kids. Greta Kline has been a fave of mine for a while, via her band Frankie Cosmos. And now Owen Kline has written and directed a self-assured feature debut which is by […]

Movie Review: Vengeance

By Jack Silbert on August 11, 2022

2.5 stars out of 5I should’ve trusted my gut. The trailer for this seemed pretty good, and yet, possibly not good. And I had the same reaction watching B.J. Novak’s Hulu anthology series The Premise. But I do have to move the car on Tuesdays, and it was 8,000 degrees outside, and I’m a member […]
