Pre-2022 Film Reviews
Albert R.N. (1953)
- Excerpt: The escape attempts keep the plot moving forward, but the real interest in Albert R.N. is the interactions among the men. All the types you would expect to find are here, from the brash Texan (William Sylvester) that insists on doing things his own way to the wise old officer (Jack Warner) who really understands the men and tries to keep the peace among them
The Sea Shall Not Have Them (1953)
- Excerpt: Various things happen along the way—mechanical trouble, a fire on shipboard, the rescue of a German pilot, clashes between an inexperienced crew member and a crusty old salt—but film’s real interest is not so much in the plot as in how perfectly the cast members embody the character types expected in a British war movie of the period.
Trainspotting (1996)
- Excerpt: Danny Boyle’s trendsetter re-joins the Criterion Collection in a superb 4K remaster.
