WELCOME!

You have reached a hidden little corner of the internet we like to call Movie Club, because that's what this is- a place to watch movies. What kinds of movies? All kinds- all genres, all languages, all ages... but the one thing they all have in common is, none of these films are currently available …

Gahan Wilson’s The Kid

Usually what happens is this: a cartoonist develops a unique style of writing and drawing, and they create their own universe that has its own sensibility- one with characters that could only exist in this place and come out of this person's mind; a logic that's all their own. The art style is instantly recognizable, …

Mr. and Mrs. is the Name

The great Fritz Freleng's proto-Looney Tunes work, like so many early cartoons, is pretty insane by today's standards. The fluid animation where no one ever seems to stand still, the whoops and zaniness and barely-contained sexuality... it's like cartoons were the place adults could examine their wilder, animalistic side in civilized company, while the rest …

Take the Money and Run

Woody Allen: genius or pariah? Or both? One unfortunate casualty of the Allen saga is the slow but steady disappearance of his work online as streamers disassociate themselves from his name. Which is too bad- Allen has contributed so many great pieces to American Cinema and clearly influenced almost everyone who has come after, not …

Push

If you live in a city- and more and more often, even if you don't- you're probably constantly befuddled by how expensive it is to live somewhere. Whether as a renter or as a prospective home buyer, with each passing year you feel 200 miles further away from ever affording a home. All the data, …

The Emperor Jones

They sure don't make 'em like this anymore- a 1933 indie film by experimental filmmaker Dudley Murphy with the distinction of being the first major movie to star an African-American. It would take another two decades before Hollywood would attempt that "audacious" idea, but even today, The Emperor Jones cuts deep. Starring the great Paul …

Lights in the Dusk

Aki Kaurismäki is most definitely an "either you love him or you don't" type of filmmaker; like Wes Anderson, his films have a very particular vibe that only he can pull off, and after a lifetime of his work, you get the idea that he couldn't make any other kind of movie, even if he …

Ladybug Ladybug

There's something great about that string of black-and-white movies from the early 60's that I'll never grow tired of. Shot in stark, sharp black-and-white, with intense, dramatic framing and balls-to-the-wall dialogue and situations, these movies have teeth in a way no other era of film quite manages. Movies like The Pawnbroker and Fate is the …

The Sure Thing

Rob Reiner has had a rollercoaster of a career, having directed three of the best 80's comedies America has to offer, and later giving us a long, long string of terrible clunkers that impressed neither critics nor audiences alike. But somewhere in that mess lies a sweet, forgotten little comedy that made John Cusack a …

Dáblova Past (The Devil’s Trap)

A classic Bud Dry commercial from the 80's rhetorically asks "Why are foreign movies so... foreign?" while it throws as many tropes as possible on screen: poorly dubbed Italian, grainy black and white film, odd angles, melodramatic acting, and, of course... clowns. And while that particular reference is clearly Fellini, its point- and the point …

Beautiful Noise

Some documentaries create a story, much like a work of fiction, building a narrative that draws you in emotionally, even if it takes some jiggling of facts to make that story work. Most modern docs are like this, blurring the line between fact and fiction, and making it clear that the ultimate goal isn't to …
