THE CAINE MUTINY By David Bianculli

Just like the end of A Few Good Men, when Jack Nicholson takes the stand and reveals his true self by saying we need him on that wall, this 1954 movie ends with just as iconic a revelation. In this one, it’s Humphrey Bogart on the stand, and he’s not talking about the wall. He’s talking about… strawberries.

PULP FICTION By David Bianculli

Samuel L. Jackson is excellent in Quentin Tarantino’s 2015 The Hateful Eight – and if he had been nominated for an Oscar, as he should have, then maybe the Academy wouldn’t be under such fire right now. In any event, you can go see The Hateful Eight in theaters tonight. Or you can stay home and watch Tarantino’s 1994 masterwork, in which Jackson and John Travolta, as a couple of eccentric hit men, saw their careers vault to unexpected and formerly unattained heights.

MARVEL'S CAPTAIN AMERICA: 75 HEROIC YEARS By David Bianculli

Every time a new Marvel movie or TV series launches, or especially a special like this that notes the significance and longevity of a Marvel comic-book character, I can’t help but think back, obsessively, to seventh grade in the mid-Sixties, when I sold my then-complete Silver Age collection of Marvel Comics to Randy Silverman for $75. My collection didn’t include the first issue of the original Captain America comic from 1941 (pictured), published by Marvel precursor Timely Comics.

MARVEL'S AGENT CARTER By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: For this new season, the heroine of this period spy series – an offshoot from the Captain America story as retold in recent Marvel Comics movies – relocates from New York to Los Angeles. This might make the new season a little more bright lights of Hollywood, and a little less East Coast noir. But whatever happens, Hayley Atwood, in the title role, will be at the center of things.
