Hello — Is it me you’re looking for?

Blogs and bloggers come and go. According to one source, even by 2006, Technorati’s Top 100 blogs had an average age of 33.8 months. The implication is clear. Longevity and stability are crucial for building a successful blog. 1More Film Blog recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. Migrating a blog risks losing content, forcing stylistic revisions, and most importantly, alienating readers. So why do it? The reasons for a move are intertwined and rather prosaic. Location matters in any venture, whether... Read more

Last updated on: June 8, 2014 at 11:42 am By Jeremy Purves

In Part I of this essay, Jeremy Purves looked back at critics’ reviews of Troy and argued that the film was a better adaptation of Homer’s epic poem than is generally acknowledged. (more…) Read more

Frank vs. God (Schill, 2014)

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 7:17 pm By Claudia Mundy

Frank vs. God is one of my favorite films thus far into the movie year, and it is without a doubt one of the better "religious" films of those recently released. Read more

Troy (Petersen, 2004) — 10 Years Later: Part I

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 7:25 pm By Jeremy Purves

It has now been ten years since Wolfgang Petersen’s old-fashionedly classic film on the Trojan War was released. In hindsight, some of the controversy that roiled round the film at the time now seems rather silly. But then much of the criticism the film took was much worse than silly. Read more

Sleeping Beauty (Geronimi, 1959)

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 7:28 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

In my memory, I have always falsely grouped Sleeping Beauty with Disney's animated features from the 1940s: Pinnochio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi. Read more

No God, No Master (Green, 2012)

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 2:24 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Nobody in No God, No Master actually utters the phrase "those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it," but that sentiment is the subtext of nearly line of dialogue in this historical drama about the Palmer Raids. Read more

Locke (Knight, 2014)

Last updated on: December 25, 2014 at 10:06 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

It is a good movie, certainly, and it is not writer/director Steven Knight's fault that we live in an age that appears only to recognize two critical verdicts: awesome or awful. There is less room in the conversation for the good, modest movie. Read more

An Affair of the Heart (Caminer, 2012)

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 7:30 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield
