The Hellbenders (1967) - Mikey B

July 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Sergio Corbucci has directed some of the most entertaining and solid spaghetti westerns ever made, bringing the audience such classics as Companeros, Django, and The Great Silence.  He has made a habit of capturing visuals with a breath-taking flair and using an awe-inspiring soundtrack to bring his films to the forefront of western mythology (hell, [...]

The Great Silence (1968) - Mikey B

The Good, the Bad, and the F’n Awesome

June 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Over here in the states, Chan-wook Park is well known, and highly respected among foreign film fans. It baffles my mind why one of his peers, Ji-woon Kim, isn’t as highly touted. Don’t get me wrong, Park is great, but Kim is an equally fantastic director. Chalk it up to the fact that A Tale [...]
