THE FILMS OF BRIAN DE PALMA: The Fury (1978)
Roger Ebert said of this movie, ” I’m not quite sure it makes a lot of sense, but that’s the sort of criticism you only make after it’s over. During the movie, too much else is happening.” Ex-CIA agent Peter Sandza (Kirk Douglas) and his psychic son Robin (Andrew Stevens) meet up with Ben Childress […]
THE FILMS OF BRIAN DE PALMA: Carrie (1976)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was first on the site on May 24, 2018. This is King’s first novel to be published and first one to be adapted to the silver screen. And if you ask me, it’s probably my favorite. Credit where it’s due — Brian De Palma presented a master class in how to build […]

After Sisters and before Carrie, Brian DePalma wrote and directed this musical take on The Phantom of the Opera by way of Faust and The Portrait of Dorian Gray. That’s a simplification of this astounding movie, which wows […]
THE FILMS OF BRIAN DE PALMA: Get to Know Your Rabbit (1972)
People always want to know how much money I make writing this site if I put this much work into it. Yes, there are times when I put forty or more hours a week in and get nothing in return. Well, everything else in my life is for commerce. Sometimes, you need art. I make […]
