Kixott will seek to assuage that wound this Sunday, with a selection of newly-donated second hand books unleashed at great prices while you browse before or after your family lunch, romantic date, or solitary hike across the nearby landscape. Wherever you're coming…
Back when Kristen Stewart was still Twilight girl, French auteur Olivier Assayas snatched her up and made her a de facto muse, a collaboration that started with the beautiful, elliptical meditation on art and ageing -- 2014's Clouds of Sils Maria -- and which continues to this day (see: Stewart's cameo in Irma Vep 2022).…
Before the Wachowski siblings made The Matrix, they straight up gave the world an immersive and convincing queer neo-noir thriller which we thought was impossibly cooked up by two straight men (only for that assumption to be blown to smithereens). Total legends Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon slip snugly and sexily into familiar crime thriller…
The world is in a mess and all of our superheroes have been snatched up by CIA-loving, copaganda-enabling global corporations. What are we to do? One option would be: turn to Barbarella! After all, while a gratuitous zero-gravity striptease performed by the legendary Jane Fonda may not halt the nuclear apocalypse or imminent ecological collapse,…
Courtesy of its very own in-house film collector -- and all-round gent -- Malcolm Demicoli, Kixott is proud to present a bona fide classic of the silent era... on FILM, as the gods (once) intended! Buster Keaton's 1926 silent action-adventure-comedy The General is considered by many to be a shining jewel of the genre, overcoming…

It's time get ready. And by get ready, we mean that the gentlemen among you should make like Sean Connery and put on the trademark red mankini he sports in this gonzo sci-fi classic from the inspired master of the vintage Hollywood epic, John Boorman. Set in 2293 and NOT 2023 as a popular meme…
Work sucks, we know. Mike Judge's cult classic comedy-cum-satire of the lower rungs of corporate existence may feel like an escapist utopia now that we've lived through multiple recessions and a pandemic since it's arrival on the scene in 1999. A decent-sized cubicle and a steady paycheck? Sign me up! Still, a man doesn't live…

Less understandably, perhaps, he reacted by throwing a lit cigarette in the face of the…
