Saddened to have lost #RobertDuvall, but glad to see many discovering or rediscovering his body of work. Here's one you may have missed: andywolverton.substack.com/p/the-finest...

I'm honored to have an essay in the new Noir City Annual 17 focusing on the women of Act of Violence (1948). The annual also features fantastic graphic design work by @mwkronenberg.bsky.social and is available at all Noir City festivals (and soon on Amazon). These sell out quickly, so don't delay.

If you're into #filmnoir, crime fiction, Jim Thompson, or just good TV, check out the first season of THE LOWDOWN. My thoughts here: andywolverton.substack.com/p/the-lowdow...

Still a few days left in January, but I'll never finish the two fat books I'm reading before the end of the month, so here's my January reads. Please share yours. andywolverton.substack.com/p/what-did-y...

I greatly regret that I won't be at #NoirCity 23 this year, but I do want to celebrate an excellent book that will be there, DARK CITY DAMES by Eddie Muller: andywolverton.substack.com/p/dark-city-...

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

I begin my Discoveries 2025 list with some rediscoveries: Revisiting movies I haven't seen in 10+ years. Did they hold up or disappoint? andywolverton.substack.com/p/best-redis...

Man, I love this movie... I've already bought two editions of it on Blu-ray over the years, but this new edition of CUTTER'S WAY (1981) is a must-own: www.radiancefilms.co.uk/products/cut...

For your #Noirvember: I was pleased to appear as a guest on Robert Bellissimo at the Movies last year to talk about my favorite movie, THE MALTESE FALCON (1941). Here's that conversation: youtu.be/Zez2qra8Ocs?...

So much fun to join Robert for a discussion of this #FilmNoir!

What did you read in October? Good, bad, indifferent... Let us know! andywolverton.substack.com/p/what-did-y...

If you're a fan of any or all of Jonathan Glazer's work, don't miss @www.johnbleasdale.com's new book Darkness Visible: The Cinema of Jonathan Glazer from @stickingplacebk.bsky.social. My thoughts on the book: andywolverton.substack.com/p/book-revie...

If you love quality writing on film and haven't yet checked out @stickingplacebk.bsky.social, what are you waiting for?

Celebrating the completion of my second cataract surgery with my favorite IPA, Prison City Mass Riot, and some Robert Mitchum shenanigans from CAPE FEAR (1962):

What did you read last month? Here's what I read and why I post my books read each month: andywolverton.substack.com/p/what-did-y...

A tremendous film and a wonderful release from Flicker Alley, HE WHO GETS SLAPPED (1924). My review: andywolverton.substack.com/p/he-who-get...

It's a bit early, but I'm ready for October:

Today I'm exploring Alfred Hitchcock's final silent film, The Manxman (1929), AND giving you a Hitchcock trivia question. Good luck! andywolverton.substack.com/p/the-alfred...

Can you name these character actors? Here's why we should have a National Character Actors' Day: andywolverton.substack.com/p/why-not-na...

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when you've spent seven years writing for a wonderful publication about something you love. In my case, that's #FilmNoir: andywolverton.substack.com/p/stepping-o...

Alfred Hitchcock's first movie, The Pleasure Garden, is 100 years old this year. I'm working on a long-term project to review each of his feature films. You can keep up with this journey here: andywolverton.substack.com/p/the-alfred...

Two years ago, I was delighted to have director John Sayles join our movie discussion group to talk about THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH (1994). You can watch that conversation here: youtu.be/R0iZZK8p3SE?...

What did you read in August? Let's share our stories: andywolverton.substack.com/p/what-did-y...

Interview books frequently match interviews with interviewees who are argumentative, impenetrable, or windbags. I'm delighted to report that Cinema Then and Now includes none of that, but is instead a wonderful conversation about movies. My review: andywolverton.substack.com/p/book-revie...

My next purchase:

What did you read in July? Good, bad, or did not finish (and I had a couple of those), let me know! andywolverton.substack.com/p/what-did-y...

Times are crazy, so we need to celebrate the things that are worth celebrating. Get together, talk, and enjoy those good things. andywolverton.substack.com/p/you-need-t...

Yes, I know it's been more than 10 years since the first season of TRUE DETECTIVE aired, but I'm just experiencing it. The show will not be for everyone, but read this spoiler-free introduction and see if it's something you'd like to explore with me: andywolverton.substack.com/p/exploring-...

After a long break in my #FilmNoir on #PhysicalMedia posts, I'm back with the third in my Collectors series: andywolverton.substack.com/p/film-noir-...

Although we've got nearly half of 2025 to go, World Noir Vol. 3 from Radiance Films may be the best film noir boxset of the year. My review: andywolverton.substack.com/p/world-noir...

Things have been a bit quiet here lately, but there’s plenty of film noir (and some horror) coming up. Here’s a sneak preview: andywolverton.substack.com/p/coming-up
