Kurt Vonnegut, one of the great American novelists, is dead. It’s not surprising – he was 84 and had not been well – and yet it’s shocking. We’ve been a world without much Vonnegut for years, as his health declined and his writing did as well, but it’s weird to think that we’re now living … Continue reading
For the next two days until Friday, April 13th, I’ll be watching and reviewing the movies in the Friday the 13th franchise from the very first through Jason X (I’m up in the air about including Freddy vs Jason).

Last week I went to see Diggers, a new film written by State player Ken Marino and starring Paul Rudd. I liked it a lot – the movie is set on Long Island in 1976 as corporate clamming starts to disrupt the generational clam digging trade. It’s a wonderfully observed character piece that’s perfectly served … Continue reading
We’re just 11 days from the US release of Hot Fuzz, and I bet you’re excited. You damn well should be – the film is an instant classic (I’ll be seeing it for a THIRD time tomorrow). There’s a new clip up at the official Hot Fuzz street team site; you’ll need to join the … Continue reading
