As a general rule, I am a fan of any documentary about the making-of a movie that is longer than the movie it is about. Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop runs a lean and mean 102 minutes. RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, which is now streaming on Screambox, is a 298-minute epic spread out across four episodes. It features interviews with … Read more
“The Ratcatcher” has Richard Ayoade guiding us through a strange encounter with a rat hunter (Ralph Fiennes) who knows the ugly truth about rats. It concludes with an added, morbid note that Anderson includes featuring a character named “Ole Jimmy” from a different Dahl short story from the same collection, Rummins. Dahl wrote many shorts, but … Read more

The opening third, which sets all of the narrative pieces in place, is the slowest and subtlest part of the movie. But it’s also the most satisfying because of the confident way it uses silence, misdirection, and negative space to make the audience wonder if evil is already present in the story or if we’re just being … Read more
