‘Twin Peaks’ 3.15 Recap: “Goodnight, Margaret”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 12:00:32 +0000

Throughout this new season of ‘Twin Peaks’, it has often felt to me like David Lynch has willfully set out to frustrate and alienate even longtime fans. As if to balance things out a little before the end, this week offers several significant pieces of fan-service. The episode opens with Nadine Hurley, carrying one of...

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.11 Recap: “I Guess We Found Out”

In terms of sheer weirdness, ‘Twin Peaks’ will probably never top Episode 8 this season. I doubt any show ever will. This week’s episode is pretty damn odd, though. A great deal of the episode actually takes place in Twin Peaks this time, so we’ll start there. Twin Peaks Miriam, the girl that Richard Horne...

Growing up in Hollywood is tough on a child actor. Many young lives have been ruined by fame at too early an age. Newly anointed Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio and ‘Divergent’ star Shailene Woodley are among the select group of former child stars who have transitioned to successful acting careers as adults. In this week’s...

‘The Walking Dead’ 6.13 Recap: “We Are All Negan”

Shannon Nutt — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 19:00:02 +0000

This week’s entry of ‘The Walking Dead’ focuses on what happens with Carol and Maggie after they’re taken hostage by a handful of Negan’s Saviors. Despite an opportunity to give actors Melissa McBride and Lauren Cohen a really juicy episode, the whole endeavor comes off as rather pointless. As this episode begins, viewers basically relive...

Auteur Theory: ‘Hotel Room’

Josh Zyber — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:00:10 +0000

You certainly have to give David Lynch credit for persistence. Despite his feelings of resentment about the cancellation of ‘Twin Peaks’ and the stillbirth of his attempted sitcom ‘On the Air’, the idiosyncratic filmmaker made yet another attempt to work in the television medium in 1993. Hoping that HBO would allow him more artistic freedom...

TIFF Journal: ‘Peep World’ – Great Cast with Little to Do

The Toronto International Film Festival ended on Sunday. By the time you read this, I will have already left the city. I still have several movies to write about, however. So I’ll roll those out over a few extra posts. First, let’s take a peek at ‘Peep World’. Just listen to this cast: Michael C....
