Our tour through the surprising darkness lurking under 1950’s Hollywood’s idealized surface continues this week folks. I often see this decade somewhat written off as a collection of Hollywood’s laziest and most homogenized products, which may be true, but little glimmers of brilliance can be found if […]
Well folks, it’s happened again. We’ve come across another year on this trip through our Cinematic Century that is absolutely loaded with great films. There was a clear front-runner for me this year, and it’s the film we’ll be discussing today, but it’s pretty shocking to see […]
Every week here on Cinematic Century I talk to you all about my favorite film from each year. But, today we’re getting to talk about one of my favorite films, period. Not just in the context of 1950. I really and truly love all the movies I’ve […]

I’ve mentioned this before during the run of this Cinematic Century project, but this whole thing began with me realizing I’d seen a shocking amount of movies from most of the years of the Twentieth Century. I’d found that I’d seen at least one film from 1920 to […]
Listen, I’m aware that I have a tenancy to repeat myself a tad on this site. It’s all built around me rambling about things that I love, so it stands to reason that there are certain topics that I come back to, time and time again. I […]
