Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Oscar time again
Ken Hanke | 02/05/2010 | 21 Comment(s)
Maybe it’s because the Oscars got it so very right last year—so far as I was concerned—but I find it hard to work up any great enthusiasm for this year’s awards.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Even a man who is pure in heart
Ken Hanke | 01/29/2010 | 29 Comment(s)
In just two weeks the much anticipated and much delayed remake of The Wolf Man comes howling into town. With that in mind, it strikes me that maybe we should go ahead and take another look at the original—and allow enough time for anyone so inclined to actually watch or rewatch the 1941 parent film.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: A specialized list
Ken Hanke | 01/23/2010 | 43 Comment(s)
Perhaps it’s because horror was the genre that seriously attracted me to movies in the first place, but I’ve never found them to be wholly deserving of their reputation as somehow less than films of just about any other genre.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: So where to now?
Ken Hanke | 01/15/2010 | 108 Comment(s)
I’d like to pose a question—or at least ask for some prognostication from readers—as concerns where we’re headed cinematically speaking now. So break out your Tarot decks, brew up those tea leaves, don your turban and polish up the the crystal ball and weigh in on what the future holds.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Memorable moviegoing moments and the audience experience
Ken Hanke | 01/08/2010 | 40 Comment(s)
I freely admit that this particular column has its roots in one of the very first Screening Room entries. Cut me a little slack. I’m coming to you from my bed of pain—OK, so at the moment it’s a chair of pain—with not one, but two throat infections.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Looking ahead
Ken Hanke | 01/01/2010 | 69 Comment(s)
Generally speaking, the first of the year traditionally means a certain number of films that have simply not made it to the provinces yet—and a lot of junk that the studios dump on us in the dead of winter as a kind of cinematic January white sale. In fact, except for the leftovers, the first three months of the year are pretty grim. This year stands at least a chance of being a bit different.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: In search of new Christmas traditions
Ken Hanke | 12/25/2009 | 23 Comment(s)
None of the traditional answers for Christmas fare were appealng to me. (Much as I love Darren McGavin, I think I’m prepared to forego A Christmas Story for the rest of this life.) Even less traditional fare was quite right either. Even my standard of The Lemon Drop Kid (1951) wasn’t doing it for me, so I started casting about in my mind for possible new traditional Christmas fare.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Snow Day
Ken Hanke | 12/18/2009 | 66 Comment(s)
Since we have snow, let’s take a cursory glance at snow in the movies. Most cineastes are, of course, well aware that most of the time movie snow has only the slightest relation to real snow. Anyone who’s seen Francois Truffaut’s Day for Night knows that it might easily be soapy foam. Anyone who doubts this should look at the feet of Woody Allen and Harold Gould during the snowy duel scene in Allen’s Love and Death. That’s merely the tip of the snowflake.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Guest bits, cameos, walk-ons
Ken Hanke | 12/11/2009 | 51 Comment(s)
The other day during the press screening of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones, I happened to notice that Jackson made a cameo appearance in the movie. Aptly enough, he showed up as a customer in a camera shop playing around with a movie camera. This isn’t the first time, Jackson’s put himself in one of his movies.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: The moviegoingest time of the year
Ken Hanke | 12/04/2009 | 48 Comment(s)
These days the onset of the festive season means one thing – movies. Movies I haven’t seen and movies I need to see again. They come to me in various ways – mostly these days in the form of screeners, which are less expensive than setting up theatrical screenings.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Shifting perceptions
Ken Hanke | 11/27/2009 | 14 Comment(s)
Every so often things happen in a way that they form a pattern—a pattern that makes you pull back a bit and look at something in a different way. This happened to me over the course of slightly less than a week. It started last Friday night when I ran into someone—an industry professional—outside the Fine Arts after watching A Serious Man.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Twilight of my discontent
Justin Souther | 11/20/2009 | 44 Comment(s)
Since I started reviewing movies for the Xpress a few years ago, it’s been my policy (and a notion I picked up from Ken) to watch as many theatrical releases as possible, especially the great big blockbusters that clog up multiplexes every week. Part of this is necessary for building the movie fan’s greatest asset, a frame of reference, but also to understand what is happening within the world of film at large.
Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: Five from the vault
Ken Hanke | 11/13/2009 | 27 Comment(s)
Having been thwarted in my attempts to record Murders in the Zoo from TCM recently, I took advantage of the fact that the showing was in part to promote TCM’s partnering with Universal to bring out a box set of five loosely defined “classic” horror movies—part of their “Vault Collection”—that had yet to make it to DVD. I immediately ordered the set.
