Sometimes movies escape our attention, for many reasons. We were busy with other things, we were sick when it was released, we lost our Netflix login. Here is another attempt by the Tfh gurus to shine some light on a few films you may have missed.
The Chaser is a 2008 South Korean film that was inspired by a real-life serial killer. Directed by Na Hong-jin, the story centers on a former-cop-turned-pimp. Now, that’s a real career change for you. The pimp becomes alarmed when two of his prostitutes go missing, creating a cash flow situation that probably makes him consider rejoining the force.
The suspect is captured during what can only be described as an automotive meet-cute – he literally crashes into a cop car – but he can’t be held for long due to lack of evidence. His rap sheet includes performing a lobotomy on a family member, which might be excused,...

This article contains spoilers for Vikings.
Vikings brought to life the sagas of Ragnar Lothbrook and his progeny. The series’ sweeping, twisting, end-of-empire narrative – blending history with legend, fact with fiction, blood with water, war with peace – chronicled the fate of the Viking people as they fought to understand the world and their place within it, which was diminishing even as it seemed their horizons were broadening.
By the finale it was clear that the scattered, conquistadorial peoples of Scandinavia were facing the erosion and erasure of both their gods, and their whole way of life. Despite the gloom, the series ended on a note of hope for the future, celebrating the Vikings’ capacity for change, reinvention and, perhaps most surprisingly of all, love.
Netflix’s new sequel series, Vikings: Valhalla, set a hundred or so years later, reminds us that the story didn’t end with Ragnar. The Vikings changed,...

Saginaw Grant, the Native American actor known for his performance as Chief Big Bear in “The Lone Ranger” and for featured roles in “Breaking Bad” and other popular series and films, died Wednesday in Hollywood, according to the Associated Press. He was 85.
Grant’s publicist, Lani Carmichael, confirmed to the AP that he died peacefully of natural causes at a private care facility. “He loved both Oklahoma and L.A.,” Carmichael said about Grant, who was also the hereditary chief of the Sac and Fox Nation. “He made his home here as an actor, but he never forgot his roots in Oklahoma. He remained a fan of the Sooner Nation.”
Grant was born in Pawnee, Okla. in 1936 and later served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. His acting career began after being approached to appear in a Chrysler commercial, and in the late 1980s he began acting in character roles,...

At Mubi (where we’re offering a 30-day trial), they’ll have the exclusive streaming premiere of two of the finest festival films from last year’s circuit, Cristi Puiu’s Malmkrog and Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Labyrinth of Cinema, plus Philippe Garrel’s latest The Salt of Tears, along with films from Terry Gilliam, George A.

“Double Keatons”
By Raymond Benson
At least three companies have been doing restorations of Buster Keaton’s silent comedy classics from the 1920s—Kino Video is one, The Criterion Collection is another. As the films are in public domain, the separate restorations can now be copyrighted. A third entity, Cohen Film Collection, has also been re-issuing the films in high definition. Cohen just released its fourth volume in their ongoing series, and to this reviewer, the company is doing an outstanding job.
Volume 4 of “The Buster Keaton Collection” contains 4K restorations of Go West (1925) and College (1927). Most critics and fans will agree that these two titles may be the lesser of Keaton’s outstanding output of the era. Nevertheless, there are moments of genius in both Go West and College, but also an eyebrow-raising instance of controversy in the latter title.

More Keaton is always a good thing — fans of The General and The Cameraman will find plenty to enjoy in these two classics. Buster befriends a cow ( ! ) in Go West and conquers several sports in College. Cohen’s Buster Keaton Collection series is up to Volume 4, with both shows featuring Italian restorations. With music scores by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Score Orchestra and Rodney Sauer; the disc extra is a rare audio talk by Buster himself.
