Collision Course – Run Silent, Run Deep
Time. It all comes down to time. Certainly, as one definition put it, “…the progress of time as affecting people and things.” Perspective, too. Perhaps, it’s why…

Awhile back, reading Jane Mayer’s excellent non-fiction book of the U.S. reaction to 9/11, The Dark Side, it inspired a need to wax on two of my favorite films by…
Greetings, all and sundry! Given all the hoopla, ad campaigns and late night talk show chatter and buzz devoted to The Monuments Men. I’ve decided to divert…
Even when his films began to experience critical and financial failures in the mid-60s, Preminger’s still held your eye and interest. Likely the initial film of these so-called bombs would also be the first of his I actually saw on the big screen at the local movie theater. In Harm’s Way.

This is the next entry in a Theatre… a Movie… and a Time, a series that was begun here. Two quite separate but relatable things induced this particular theatre, movie memory. The first being last month’s initial-viewing of the 2004 thought-provoking documentary, Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust. The other being my colleague ckckred’s 2012 piece, Stanley Kubrick on Schindler’s List I only recently found:

Oskar Schindler’s rescue of hundred of Jews is not only heroic and brave, but also touching to the audiences.”
My partner and I have done these duo posts for a couple of years now. We usually lay out a list of book/films a few months…
