The post Monday Movie: The Bay, by Tyler Smith appeared first on Battleship Pretension. Every Monday, we’ll highlight a piece of writing from our vaults. This review of The Bay originally ran as a theatrical review. There’s something immensely satisfying about an old pro taking on a new trend and showing the newbies how it’s done. Within the last several years, 3-D was something that only young horror directors dabbled in. Then esteemed directors such as James Cameron and Wim Wenders swooped in and set a new standard with the format. This is what Barry Levinson has done with his new film  ..read more

The post Monday Movie: Full Metal Jacket, by Kyle Anderson appeared first on Battleship Pretension. Every Monday, we’ll highlight a piece of writing from our vaults. This review of Full Metal Jacket originally ran as part of Kyle Anderson’s Kubrick in Reverse series. Stanley Kubrick’s penultimate film, 1987’s Full Metal Jacket, was a realistic slice of the life of a Marine in Vietnam, or at least realistic as far as Kubrick is concerned.  Like all of the director’s work, Full Metal Jacket is meticulously crafted and full of indelible imagery.  On the surface, the film ..read more

The post Home Video Hovel: To Die For, by Scott Nye appeared first on Battleship Pretension. To Die For certainly isn’t shy about its ripped-from-the-headlines nature; it practically gives you the headlines in its opening credits. Coming off four poetic, wandering films about people on the lower rungs of society, Gus Van Sant seems like an odd fit for a satirical black comedy. But in the story of a small-town weather reporter whose obsession with fame leads her to murder, he finds plenty of purchase for his common themes – how our personalities are shaped by society, how we hide our true natu ..read more
