Made outside the studio system — and a bit late for the age of film noir, a mode of moviemaking that some theorists believed didn't outlast the 1950s — Allen Baron's 1961 independent feature, shot on city streets with lightweight cameras, is all business, clipped, concentrated and cool.

I think it's such a clever advertisement for the more old-fashioned theatrical virtues, for storytelling on a human scale that doesn't depend on CGI and breakneck pacing and the whole over-the top volume and visual clutter of so much Hollywood franchise moviemaking, including the Potter films themselves.

To his mind, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies are still fulfilling his urge to tell stories about characters with complex, interconnected needs — even if one of those characters happens to be a talking raccoon — and to maintain the innovative traditions of his moviemaking forebears, at price tags upward of $170 million.

I'm more than happy to explain how Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's fantasia of violence is a necessary corrective to the way Hollywood became a little less itself in the immediate wake of the Manson murders, to mull how the movie serves as an invitation for a certain era of moviemaking to never end.

Though their early, self-financed foray into grown-up moviemaking is a mediocre "Rocky" knockoff called "Vince Del Rio," the brothers eventually earn acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival: first, in 2003, with a $3 short film called "This Is John," and then, in 2005, with "The Puffy Chair," a relationship road-trip feature.

He has also published books, like "Warren Beatty and Desert Eyes" and "Rosebud: The Story of Orson Welles," that don't fit any known category but are intriguingly hybrid efforts that take off from a specific film to expound on the mystique of personality and the mystery of successful (or, as it may be, failed) moviemaking.

But without any dialogue, and with Harbour's mouth caked under layers and layers of moviemaking (or, in this case, movie-ruining) magic, Hellboy's emotional journey lacks punch and doesn't seriously entertain the faux-philosophical idea it throws into the ether: that demons wouldn't gargle with human blood and savor licking meat off children's bones if they weren't hunted.

Movies may conjure an aura of magic in our lives, but moviemaking offers New Yorkers one more thing to complain about, along with late trains, snarled traffic, hordes of slow-moving tourists, incomprehensible parking and trash-collection rules, and everything that just isn't the way it used to be whenever it was supposed to be better than now.

In an interview at a Lower East Side hotel, the affable Mr. Buress — who'd spent his downtime that afternoon yelling, "Hey, come here!" to passers-by as he and a videographer created an impromptu man-on-the-street talk show — spoke about what he brings to moviemaking, his relationship with fame and why he stopped drinking.

And even if something like the events of the scene really did happen in the movie's version of reality, the presence of that heavily dented car strikes me as a tell that what we're seeing is an exaggeration, the intrusion of moviemaking embellishment into Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's hazy attempt to recreate the late '21969s as they really were.

If you're a chicken (cheep cheep cheep!), and want to skip the original, rest assured that without the context of The Room, The Disaster Artist is a compelling glimpse into the moviemaking process (mostly as an example of what not to do, but hey), and a fascinating character study of a deeply eccentric but ultimately human guy who's just trying to pursue his dream.

That all will likely change with First They Killed My Father, a film that seemingly blends Jolie's passion for humanitarian efforts (she has worked extensively with UNHCR as an advocate for refugees and founded two charitable organizations in Cambodia, where her son Maddox Jolie-Pitt was born) and her moviemaking intuitions for a satisfying product that could play far better than her past projects.

At this moment, it wasn't my questions about why, in an idiosyncratic film career, he had chosen to play the Joker, the cackling comic-book criminal, or how he had prepared for the demanding, transformative role, or what it all meant about the state of contemporary moviemaking that had set him off — though these topics would all provoke him in different ways, in time.

Machiko Kyo's many movie roles — in Kenji Mizoguchi's "Ugetsu" and Teinosuke Kinugasa's "Gate of Hell," to name just a couple — remind us of a spectacular period of moviemaking in Japan in the years shortly after World War II. Perhaps no film of the time and place was more influential than Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon," which represents the rape of Ms. Kyo's character from four points of view, including the victim's.

There, behind a door marked by a large sign that reads "Once Upon a Time," are moody landscapes that the designer said he painted when he wanted a distraction from the moviemaking grind, as well as some of the dozens of awards he has won during a 47-year career: the three Oscars he has won with his wife Francesca Lo Schiavo (making for six statuettes), along with a plethora of British Academy of Film and Television Arts and Los Angeles Film Critic Association awards, and sundry Italian prizes he keeps at home.
