The other day I received High Tension in the mail from good ol’ netfix and sat down later that night to re-watch a movie I’ve not seen since it both captivated and completely alienated me five years ago. High Tension reminds me a lot of the American re-make of Ringu, The Ring, not because they … Continue reading
You know what I’m watching right now? Porn. What are you watching? I’m at my uncle’s lake house. And my uncle gets porn. It seems unbecoming of a man (or should I say unbecumming) to not watch it. And here I am, watching True Blood at my uncle’s house. Or at least I was. Now … Continue reading
I like Batman & Robin. A lot. Possibly even more than The Dark Knight. I thought that the shot-by-shot remake of Psycho was a good idea, and well executed. Very few of my favorite movies are not American made. And I’m a fan of Ben Affleck. . . as an actor. How did a (somewhat) … Continue reading
I’ve done some drunken blogging in my time, but my last entry takes the cake. Seriously, I don’t recall how I got downstairs to my current room, let alone writing about whatever pornography was playing on my television last night. From the sound of it, though, it seems like it was pretty exciting stuff. For … Continue reading
….because this is one of the worst American Movie Summers in recent memory. We’re about half-way through it now, and there are a couple of supposed humdingers on the way.

Winter’s Bone is that kind of a movie. It drops you directly into Missouri’s stark and distinctly rural Ozark … Continue reading
From July 9th through the 27th, the Film Society of Lincoln Center is screening an epic film series called “The Complete Clint Eastwood,” which will showcase many of Clint’s starring roles and the majority of his directing work. This is a New-York-specific event, but what I’m about to write will hopefully be of interest to … Continue reading
A movie that doesn't mess around.
2 weekends ago, I went on a trip to San Antonio. It was my first trip in a while, and I just needed it. Funny that the start ended up being forced. My friend Rolando and I were supposed to leave early Saturday since my other friend, Dannis was supposed to work part of Saturday, … Continue reading
I’ve been off on my posting consistency of late, I hope to rectify that this month as I’ve got some loose Orson Welles’ reviews to tie up. Did I use loose correctly? I’m sure I’ll get letters. Right now…there are other things to speak on. THE UNLIKELY CONVERT: Matt likes 3D? If you know me, … Continue reading
