Get Carter review – Michael Caine delivers in stone-cold crime classic | Film

Even after 50 years, do we properly get Carter? And understand that his awful destiny is bound up with British shame, envy and the class system? Mike Hodges created a Brit-crime magnum opus with this unforgettably sleazy, slimy, nasty film from 1971 – now on re-release, linked to the director’s retrospective at London’s BFI Southbank. It is a violent kitchen-sink pulp with the observational brilliance and dour working-class realism of something by Ken Loach, adapted by Hodges from the novel Jack’s Return Home by the…

The Vapid Remake of a Classic TV Show Pulls off a Streaming Sting

Once 21 Jump Street and its sequel turned out to be two of the best studio comedies of the last decade, turning serious profits in the process, it was inevitable that other small screen favorites of days gone by would find themselves reinvented as feature-length comedies, but 2017’s CHIPs found itself scraping the bottom of the critical and commercial barrel. Written, directed, produced, and starring Dax Shepard, the actor and filmmaker clearly put a lot of effort into bringing the 139-episode NBC classic that…

A Torturously Beloved Cult Classic Takes a Wild Ride on Streaming

Most of Terry Gilliam’s professional career has been defined by tortured productions, arguments with studio executives, disappointing box office returns, and ultimately cult classic status, but none of the actor and filmmaker’s output has ever managed to encapsulate the singular phenomenon quite like The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. The production ended up costing almost $47 million, twice as much as initially agreed, although Gilliam disputes those figures. A regime change at Columbia Pictures saw the new…

The Undignified End to a Classic Franchise Unzips New Life on Streaming

Almost every major franchise succumbs to the law of diminishing returns eventually, but few have fallen quite so far from grace as Die Hard. Of course, there was only one way to go when the series kicked off with one of the greatest action movies ever made, but that still doesn’t excuse the woeful A Good Day to Die Hard from being so poor. Striking while the iron was still fairly hot after Live Free or Die Hard, John Moore took over behind the camera for the fifth and presumably final installment, and delivered…
