THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1923) – Blu-ray Review

For all of the grandeur, detail, and enormity of 1482 Paris depicted in this prestigious undertaking, this is, first and last, Lon Chaney’s show.  It’s his presence and his 110-percent devotion to portraying Quasimodo that fuels this version of Hunchback to culturally persist when so many subsequent adaptations have been forgotten.

HOUSE OF GUCCI -Film Review 

Tangential to the Gucci drama is the love story, and the ultimate tragedy therein.  Driver, Gaga, and company do their individualized best to raise the roof of this venerable house as they are able, but the filmmaker himself may simply be too comfortable in this high-end, high-stakes world to tailor it for the masses.  Scott’s designer bag of tricks, while still impressive to look upon, remains rather empty… and unfortunately kind of dull.
