The 40-Year-Old Version
Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: What is most engaging about The 40-Year-Old Version is that it isn’t polished. It isn’t slick. It’s flows with the kind of messiness of real life, and with the onset of middle age.
Ammonite
Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: The actual sex scene, which are not coy, aren’t as interesting as the scenes that build up to them. This is the 1840s, and these women are engaging in an affair that could have them thrown in an institution for the rest of their lives.
The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone
Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: I sat down with Coppola’s new re-edit – now tagged with his original title The Godfather Coda: “The Death of Michael Corleone” – with the hope that it would offer a new experience, or at least the one that he promises in his brief introduction on the Blu-Ray. Does it? Well, sort of.

Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: It is very touching that David Fincher would want to be the director to helm a screenplay about Herman J. Mankiewicz that was written by his late father.
