Tag: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Directors’ Trademarx is back! At least once a month, Cinelinx will chose one director for an in-depth examination of the “signatures” that they leave behind in their work. To kick things off again, we examine the trademark style and calling signs of Steven Spielberg as director.

So if you haven't noticed, we're SUPER behind.  This schedule created way back at the beginning of the marathon?  Yeah, that's gone to shit.  Combined with Netlfix troubles and my general ineptitude, we have a LOT of ground to cover.  But don't worry, folks.  We do have a Plan C.  But in the meantime...let's talk about some aliens.

After months of anticipation, J.J. Abrams' love letter to the works of Steven Spielberg has found its way to the big screen.  But is the film the next Close Encounters, or another Kingdom of the Crystal Skull disaster?  Time to shine an Abrams-approved lens flare on one of the years biggest films!
