A deep dive into Akira Kurosawa's 1957 film Throne of Blood, an adaptation of Shakepeare's Macbeth set in feudal Japan. Spoiler: this movie rules.

This is the fourth and final part of my Macbeth-a-thon. (For now. Dun dun dun)

A look at Orlando Shakes's 2024 production of Macbeth. Spoiler: It was good and interesting and I really enjoyed it. (As much as one can "enjoy" the subject matter of Macbeth)

My review / analysis of Opera Orlando's 2024 production of Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth. I look at the Opera Orlando production in specific and the opera as an adaptation of Shakespeare's play.

A look at four film versions of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. I was originally just going to watch 1 version, but lost control of the assignment and watched Macbeth (1979), The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021), Macbeth (2015), and Macbeth (1971) in a week.

This is the first in a series of 4 episodes about the play and its adaptations.

A look at two Japanese period films. Both deal with war and its consequence on regular folk. Ugetsu is explicitly a ghost story and Onibaba is about desperation and moral degradation with an ambiguous supernatural element.

A deep dive into James Gunn's 2025 film Superman. Spoiler: I love this one. I think it's the best Superman film by a good margin and it's probably my favorite movie in quite a while.

My traumatic experience watching both versions of Zack Snyder's 2016 disaster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I take a close look at the myriad writing problems and filmmaking issues with this train wreck. And I say the f word a lot...

A dive into the 2013 Superman film Man of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder. I both like this movie and don't think it's all that good and I take a look at some of the reasons why. (It's almost good...)
