Seeing as how we live in a time in which absolutely anything can be brought to the silver screen, it’s no surprise that we occasionally forget the simpler, more magical, days of cinema. During the holidays I came across Harry and the Hendersons, one of the many films that I watched for days on end … Continue reading
There are two things that divide this country like no other: the meaning of freedom and whether or not Oprah is gay. And since I like to kill birds with the least amount of effort possible, I made a quirky little movie and called it Beloved. Beloved is not your run of the mill exploration … Continue reading
Here is my NYC adventure to watch the Che: the Roadshow Edition and The Wrestler.
I’m a big fan of a lot of what used to be called Trip Hop. Massive Attack’s MEZZANINE and Thievery Corporation’s THE MIRROR CONSPIRACY are two of my all time favorite albums in the wine-swilling, love-making, opium den end of my tastes, and although there are a lot of other albums in that vein that … Continue reading
A movie that I saw for the first time in 2008, and would like to recommend, is a rarity that was released by the great Criterion Collection on DVD – White Dog. As you couldn’t possibly have guessed just from the title and the poster image I linked to, this is the … Continue reading

WARNING – I fully realize the following blog is self-indulgent and unbelievably nerd-like. However, when considering the fate of Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise, I get a little bit D&D. That being said, if you’re going to be the guy that leaves talkback telling me how lame or assuming I am don’t waste your breath – … Continue reading
Truth be told, I don’t get the chance to follow that much television – episodic TV has gotten so dense and narratively sophisticated that most of the shows worth following demand one-hundred-percent involvement. It probably says something about which shows I choose to follow religiously, but I definitely haven’t watched too much TV … Continue reading
I enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as an experience, but I don’t think it’s will end up as much of a classic. Devin’s excellent review covers many of the reasons that the film is a bit passionless, and many more are covered in the Sewer Post-Release Thread. One sticking point that I’ve heard … Continue reading
