go watch Seconds (1966) now! I have no idea how this flew under my radar. The cinematography is blissfully manic. It is free in 1080p remastered on Internet Archive

Anyone else stoked for Body Heat Criterion in May? "New 4K digital restoration, supervised by editor Carol Littleton and approved by director Lawrence Kasdan" 👀

Hey all! Film Trace is going on an extended hiatus. Chris and I started Film Trace in the ashes of The Wild Line podcast as Covid closed down theaters. We have done over 100 episodes so far! It is goodbye for now, but probably not forever.

We appreciate you all listening and supporting the show!

Charter School Agency reveals enrolment numbers after telling schools to keep figures under wraps The number of enrolments had been kept under wraps after the agency told the privately-run, state-funded schools not to reveal their numbers while still setting up.

Numbers are fun.

427 students at 8 charter schools is an average of 54 students per school.

$10.9 million divided by 8 charter schools is $1.362 million per school.

Or about $25.5k per student.

State schools are 9k per student.

The Proto Elevated Horror of Possession (1981)

Why makes Elevated Horror different?

Emo plus Gore makes Dan a Scaredy Pants

Is Grief played out in Horror Films?

Is Talk to Me just elevated horror paint by numbers?

Caught Stealing (2025) | Movie Review | Deep Focus Review Read an in-depth review and critical analysis of Caught Stealing by film critic Brian Eggert on Deep Focus Review.

No, Darren Aronofsky didn't put Jane’s Addiction’s “Been Caught Stealing” on the soundtrack of CAUGHT STEALING and replace the song’s dog barking with cat meows. But he did make a pretty fun, fast-paced crime movie.
