Richard Donner: Superman II: The Donner Cut (1980)

Leave a comment

For many of the millennial persuasion, Richard Donner is the guy who directed Superman, which in turn introduced us to the great Christopher Reeve. Due to a lot of bullshit that is well-documented elsewhere, he was removed from the sequel and Richard Lester was brought in to take his place as director. That version of the film is the version we all grew up with and for the most part loved. And then The Donner Cut came along and gave us insight into what could have been and the results are…also very damn good. We go into all of this and more so let’s not waste another minute.

Richard Donner: The Omen (1976)

Leave a comment

Richard Donner had quite the film career in his lifetime and we wanted to honor that by spending a month reflecting on some of his best films (and one film he got to re-edit after it was cruelly taken away from him). We kick things off with his first critical and commercial breakthrough, “The Omen,” starring Gregory Peck as a diplomat / ambassador whose son may or may not be (but totally is) the Antichrist. It’s a well-paced horror film that never overstays its welcome, and it manages to pepper a few shocking kills throughout its runtime. That’s not to say the film is without its share of flaws, and we go into those as well. An overall compelling start to our month honoring the late Richard Donner.

Jackie Chan: Rush Hour (1998)

Leave a comment

Ending our month of Jackie Chan is the film “Rush Hour,” which totally doesn’t hold up after all these years and is a bit of a frustrating watch. Probably would have been better to go with something like “The Foreigner” or literally anything else in his filmography. That said, there were a few things that we liked and it brought about a great wrap up discussion about the actor and just how diverse his body of work is.

Jackie Chan: Rumble in the Bronx (1995)

Leave a comment

Our Jackie Chan retrospective resumes with the absolutely goofball “Rumble in the Bronx,” and we mean that in the most positive way possible. Sure, the plot is awful, but you’re not watching one of these for the plot. You are? Really? Anyway, the action is top notch and thoroughly exciting and the third act is absolutely hilarious, if nonsensical. You owe it to yourself to check out this movie (and our episode on it) if you haven’t.
