Dressed To Kill Did Cause Controversy In 1980 (We Just Didn’t Have The Megaphone Of Social Media Back Then With Which To Announce It)

Big difference between 1980 and now? No internet. No 24/7 news cycle. No social media megaphone. The internet amplifies everything. For better or worse.

Sidewinder’s View: “Mean Johnny Barrows” (1976) (SPOILERS)

I like Fred Williamson. He has a terrific screen presence and I loved his work in Black Caesar, Bucktown, Hammer, Vigilante, M*A*S*H, and I wanted to like this movie. That didn't happen, unfortunately.

Sidewinder’s View: Scarface (1983)

Scarface, The Godfather, The Long Good Friday, King Of New York, etc... To consider these sorts of gangster movies as metaphors for capitalism, one would have to be as ill-informed or as delusional as the gangster characters headlining each film.

Fake Criterion Of The Week: “The Domino Principle” (1977)

Released in early 1977 to little fanfare. Savaged by reviewers. I enjoyed it, though.

I don't always agree with him, but he's never dull.
