Last Pain Sleep (This Week’s Movies)

Antonio Banderas: Pain and Glory (Sony Pictures Classics)

Links to my reviews published this week in the Herald, and etc.

Pain and Glory. “In his Hollywood career, Banderas tapped his manic energy. All that gets bottled in here, as Salvador tends to watch and reflect, an artist observing everything around him, saving everything for future use.”

Doctor Sleep. “This movie has a good eye for people.”

Last Christmas. “Golding came out of “Crazy Rich Asians” as a hot new property, so it’s disappointing to see him stuck in a neutered role.”

For my Seasoned Ticket post at the Scarecrow Video blog, I recall an earlier Pedro Almodovar gem, Talk to Her.

This week at What a Feeling!, we’ve continued surveying the 1980s. Behold reviews of Peter Yates’s The House on Carroll Street, John Waters’ Hairspray, Michael Apted’s Critical Condition, Robert Towne’s Tequila Sunrise, and Francis Coppola’s Tucker: The Man and His Dream.
