01.02.2010

The Auteurs (a pretty great online cinema for snobs that I’d somehow never heard of before) bring us this great list of the decade’s best movie posters. Here are two of my favorites.

New Yorker 2009 Best Lists

12.19.2009

The New Yorker is more than flush with great critical writing. Well, this is a list of lists (some are decade-spanning, too) from those wonderful writers. I’m trying to tell you it’s a dream come true. Get over there. Click around. Get lost for a few hours. In fact, to encourage you, here’s my list [...]

Bad Chaplin

12.06.2009

Talk about a movie that didn’t stand the test of time. I fast-forwarded through about 90 minutes of it, stopping occasionally, but I just couldn’t do it. Blech.

Watchin’ Some Trailers Late at Night

03.29.2009

The Limits of Control Jarmusch is always brilliantly boring and mundane in some ways. The trailer for this movie is comparatively action-packed and star-studded. I wonder what the movie’ll really be like. Mutant Chronicles This movie has Thomas Jane in it. Why am I still watching this? Year One These trailers are always worth watching. [...]

Milk

Watching Milk and getting pretty damned caught-up in it. I can barely blog. This is a great movie. And I should add that Sean Penn is amazing.

Just Saw It: Michael Clayton

Just Saw It: The Lives of Others

11.10.2007

Fantastic fucking movie. It was just really interesting and engaging and well-made and well-acted, until the last 20 minutes or so, when it entered the realm of the sublime. And the very end may have been a bit obvious, some could even say cheesy, but it hit me just right. I loved it. This is [...]

I’m putting an entry on my blog just to tell you how Fucking frustrating these movies were. I really wanted to like them for a while, I did. Then I just fast-forwarded through the last 30 minutes of each. Fuckin waste my time!

Just Saw It: American Gangster

11.07.2007

This movie needed some Jay-Z. (I’m referring to the fact that Jay-Z put out an album “inspired by” the movie, but the music isn’t in the movie.) It was long, and even, with a nice bit of mounting tension, but it didn’t have much in the way of peaks and valleys along the way. Very [...]
