Captain Blood (1924)

This captivating film can only be truly appreciated by seeing it firsthand. There are not enough words to describe the terrible beauty one experiences while watching it.

Remakes. Reboots. Reinventions. Redundancy. It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results. Admittedly, with this in mind, I went into the newest incarnation of "The War of the Roses" with typical trepidation and cautious optimism.

This coming-of-age movie discusses immigration issues in the United States through the eyes of two exchange students in Brazil.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.

Yes, "Nope" is definitely about the modern obsession with turning tragedy and horror into a spectacle for people’s enjoyment. But it's also about the power of looking, who has the right to look, and what happens to those who are looked upon.

It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit.  Michael is no exception.
