If I had to summarize Get Low in two words, they’d probably be “Memento mori.” The entire film is a meditation on death and all that it entails, such as inevitability, uncertainty and repentance. If you’re old, you can add to the list obsolescence, loneliness and a general feeling of misplacement in a rapidly changing … Continue reading
I admit that I’ve been seeing movies in a very different way since I started blogging. It used to be that I would simply watch a movie and try to enjoy myself. Now, I actively search for nits to pick in the movie I’m watching. I’m constantly looking for deficiencies, cataloging them in my head … Continue reading
What’s in a name? Let’s face it, Douchebag is an attention-getting title. It’s just short of calling your movie Asshole but getting away with it. That’s cool and transgressive and all, but if you’re going to pull a stunt like that, the movie that results should earn the title it used to bring people in. … Continue reading

This was coincidentally right around the time that I joined CHUD. I love spending a … Continue reading

We may stand idly by and allow villainy to happen, watching the wolves tear the sheep apart, comforted by them fact that it’s them and not us. But in our mind, perhaps we’re Super … Continue reading
I’ve been seeing advertisements for “Adam Green’s Hatchet 2” plastered all over the internet, and it really makes me wonder; When did they start name dropping directors that no one cares about? Going in the wayback machine to the turn of the millenium, I seem to remember being surprised by a Fellowship Of The Rings … Continue reading
A few months ago I heard from a friend who was watching Mary and Max on dvd and saw the trailer for I Sell The Dead as it booted up. She texted me all excited, saying that she saw my name and a couple blurbs from my review featured in it. I was proud- I … Continue reading
