Recommended THE FILM: Hollywood has long dramatized the lives of unremarkable men with ease, but often stumbles when retelling the story of someone truly exceptional. Filming the life of Louis “Louie” Zamperini is no easy task. The former United States Olympian survived a plane crash in World War II, only to be stranded on a raft for 47 days before he was sent to a Japanese internment camp …
Recommended Its title suggests a film noir, but in fact Stranger at My Door (1956) is a Western drama with religious overtones, a very offbeat film for B-movie studio Republic Pictures, which specialized in far more routine oaters. It's a strange movie, on one hand filmed in Republic's usual flat style for the most part, and the religious aspects are heavy-handed, annoying, and at times …
Recommended THE FILM: After getting shot by a Richard Nixon-masked bank robber during a heist, LAPD officer Dennis Meechum (Brian Dennehy) turns his account of the events into a bestselling novel.

With the abundance of comic book movies being made there’s bound to be backlash, but will it be Marvel or DC that pushes us over the edge? The post Who Will Make You Sick of Comic Book Movies, DC or Marvel? appeared first on WIRED .
Highly Recommended The Movie: Chris Rock joined the upper echelons of the stand-up comedy game nearly twenty years ago, and even though he hasn't released an hour-long special in seven years, it's that work onstage that defines his career.
Highly Recommended “When I start out to make a fool of myself there's very little can stop me.” – Michael O'Hara I've seen Orson Welles's The Lady from Shanghai (1947) five or six times through the years, and still half the time I don't know what the hell is going on. Howard Hawks's The Big Sleep (1946) is a model of comprehensive linear storytelling by comparison. The Lady from Shanghai isn't …
Recommended I'd held back on watching At War with the Army (1950), Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis's starring debut, specifically because that was their one movie that had fallen into the public domain.
