On Roger Ebert and Terrence Malick
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:40 pm · April 10th, 2013
It is somehow fitting that the last word Roger Ebert would ever have on the movies concerned filmmaker Terrence Malick, whose sixth feature, “To the Wonder,” opens in theaters this weekend.

Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 7:43 am · February 25th, 2012
The 2011 Oscar Guide has finally reached its destination: the nine-film Best Picture category, which saw its biggest surprise in the very fact that it stretched to that many nominees.
