State of Grace (1990)

This is another of those titles that I always remember seeing in among the dizzying myriad of VHS tapes that adorned the walls of whatever video store I was either checking out or working at (5 are noted on the ole resume’, no bullshit). Even in the Way Back of the early ‘90’s, I knew […]

Doctor Zhivago (1965)

Or, as the onscreen title proclaims it – David Lean’s Film of Doctor Zhivago For years, the only relation I had with Doctor Zhivago was the title’s prominent usage in my Second Favourite Movie Ever – True Romance (1993), inserted by Quentin Tarantino and Tony Scott as a clandestine place-holder for character conversations revolving around […]

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (2025)
