Paul Schrader’s Hardcore is one of the writer-director’s most unabashedly autobiographical films. The opening montage of winter in Grand Rapids, Michigan, contains shots of the street where he grew up, his family members, and places he worked. Schrader has also mentioned in interviews that George S. Scott’s Calvinist furniture manufacturer, Jake Van Dorn, is an equivocal portrait of his father.
That entire sequence is shot through with ambivalence. The Van Dorn clan is depicted with warmth and hominess, but there are cracks evident in the facade: the disapproving comments about modern media; the passive-aggressive way in which the emotionally distant Jake talks down to a female employee; and the absence of a presiding maternal figure.
When his daughter, Kristen (Ilah Davis), inexplicably goes missing on a church trip to California, Jake is determined to track her down with the help of Andy Mast (Peter Boyle), a morally...

When famed producer and former gangster character actor Sheldon Leonard saw the failed television sitcom pilot “Head of the Family,” which was based on Carl Reiner’s experience as a writer and performer for Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows” and “Caesar’s Hour”, he immediately saw its brilliance and potential. He said to creator and star Carl Reiner, who would become his producing partner, in his distinctive tough guy voice, “We’ll get a better actor to play you.” That actor became the lead in the show whose name became the new title. “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, now a classic sitcom, with Carl as writer, producer, show runner, and co-star, has become a touchstone for everything that followed and is one of Carl’s many masterpieces. He also launched the career of the legendary Mary Tyler Moore.

If you’re wondering whether the original Aston Martin DB5 from “Goldfinger” is as beautiful in person as it is on screen, wonder no more: it is a pristine specimen, a preserved and likely restored testament to not only the greatest franchise in film history, but a metaphor for ingenuity and quality living.
Displayed prominently recently at New York’s Sotheby’s Auction House on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, I took pictures through the plate glass window, over the course of a few days, once to see the car with the bullet-proof plate raised over the trunk of the car, only to find it lowered back into the car the next day (I assumed that any shooting had stopped) and found the spike protruding from the hub of the rear wheels, which was designed to shred a pursuing car’s tires.
Now if you ask me...
