Honestly, I’m surprised it took Reservation Dogs this long to make a 1970s-set flashback episode, but I will just be happy to savor the fact that we got it. Breaking away from the tone and style of the show (though playing with form has long been a hallmark of this FX gem), "House Made Of Bongs" goes full on Dazed And Confused to give us a stoner-comedy episode that illuminates the youthful indiscretions of many of the elders we’ve met through the course of the show’s three seasons—including ...
James Ellroy has a thing about dogs. During public appearances he’s liable to pant, growl or raise his hands like paws, and "dog talk" – boastful, overbearing, often obscene – is a mainstay of his persona as the "demon dog" of crime fiction. In one of the many documentaries about him (James Ellroy: American Dog, 2006), there’s a scene in which he holds a conversation with a Staffordshire bull terrier that has been fed peanut butter to make her mouth move in a speech-like way. More than once h...

New York Film Festival 2021 I Am the Cosmos By Demi Kampakis NYFF 2021: Hit the Road Dir. Panah Panahi, Iran, Kino Lorber A family of four embarks on a road trip. In the car are Mom and Dad and their two sons: one very rambunctious six-year-old and the youngster’s big brother, a bespectacled and noticeably pensive young man. Mom seems occupied with pressing thoughts while Dad, a scruffy and heavy-lidded bear with curmudgeonly charm, snoozes in the back. Riding in the trunk is Je...
Old Henry – first-look reviewSourceURL: https://lwlies.com/festivals/old-henry-first-look-review/ Old Henry is a western directed by Potsy Ponciroli that places us in 1906 Oklahoma County where Henry McCarty (Tim Blake Nelson), a widowed farmer, is living with his teenage son Wyatt (Gavin Lewis) among the temperate grasslands. While their existence within this far-flung rural idyll seems colourless, their life together is pleasant and uneventful enough. That is until Hen...
Sometimes I find myself reciting poetry to Topsy, the smooth fox terrier from Texas who my wife rescued seven years ago. As with everything else I say to Topsy, she understands every word, and indicates her approval of the poem by tapping me with her paw; if she doesn’t like it, she walks away. I’m sure, if she were capable of speech, she would make learned observations—"Bad use of dactylic hexameter," that kind of thing. Poetry is in most cases an intimate thing, something that springs fr...
Fire Will Come starts with startling images of bulldozers logging at night, as trees violently shake before they are run over, out of frame. It's deep in rural Galicia, the northwestern region of Spain. With glowing yellow headlights in the fog, these machines appear more like demons of the night, rummaging through forest, bearing their yellow teeth, looking for their prey. Amador (played by non-professional Amador Arias) gets released from a prison where he was serving time for ...

puppy (thing) by Zerotime Fluke's eighth (tenth if you include the two best-ofs) album, and first official album release since 1997's Risotto.
