Gods and Monsters (1998)

Tuesday Jun 20, 2023

Tuesday Jun 20, 2023

Gods and Monsters is a 1998 period drama film that recounts the partly fictionalized last days of the life of film director James Whale, whose experience of war in World War I is a central theme, along with his legacy of directing cinema classics like Frankenstein (1931), The Dark Old House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Show Boat (1936). 

The film stars Ian McKellen, Brendan Fraser, Lynn Redgrave, Lolita Davidovich, and David Dukes. An international co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, the film is written and directed by Bill Condon, based on Christopher Bram's 1995 novel Father of Frankenstein. Clive Barker served as executive producer.

Apt Pupil (1998)

Monday Jun 12, 2023

Monday Jun 12, 2023

Apt Pupil is a 1998 American psychological thriller film based on the 1982 novella of the same name by Stephen King. The film was directed by Bryan Singer and stars Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro. Set in the 1980s in southern California, the film tells the story of high school student Todd Bowden, who discovers a fugitive Nazi war criminal, Kurt Dussander, living in his neighborhood under a pseudonym.  

Singer has called Apt Pupil "a study in cruelty", with Nazism serving as a vehicle to demonstrate the capacity of evil. The film was the subject of some controversy when legal allegations were brought against Singer by underage actors.
