Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic
Directed by Liam Lynch
Sarah Silverman: I don’t care if you think I’m racist. I only care if you think I’m thin.
If you’ve ever seen Silverman on a talk show, you’ve likely heard most of the jokes already. And when your humor relies so much on shock, hearing jokes for the umteenth time just doesn’t really […]
Last Night’s Debate: Souzzi Vs. Spitzer
Last night’s debate between New York Democratic gubernatorial candidates Eliot Spitzer and Tom Suozzi was a pretty impressive display on the part of both candidates. And that’s not a statement made lightly. I’m firmly in the Spitzer camp at this point, and haven’t understood Suozzi’s decision to continue his campaign since the state convention, but […]

Five years ago today, I had just seen an early press screening of Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back and was, apparently, taunting Bryan because he would have to wait to see it. Not very nice of me.
One year ago today: On The Beach, Strand5
Dallas 362
Directed by Scott Caan
Impressive as far as first features go. A certain enjoyable enthusiasm is evident in the filmmaking, even if it isn’t a perfect film.

A Scanner Darkly
Directed by Richard Linklater
Set in a future not too far off, the film really acts as an indictment of many elements of today’s culture and serves as a cautionary tale. Of course, it’s a story by Philip K. Dick, so this is to be expected. It’s one of the best films we’ve seen so far […]
The City Of Lost Children
Directed by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Miette: When you’re born in the gutter you end up in the port.
Visually striking and imaginative with iconic characters. Plays like a deranged new age fairytale thought up by Lewis Carroll and Terry Gilliam. Ron Perlman, as the caring and gentle strongman, One, strikes me as something of an […]
Three Of A Kind
I’ve recently been watching three HBO series on DVD: The Sopranos, Deadwood, and Entourage. And I’ve really been struck by the similarities. Tonally and stylistically, they are quite different, but the way they all deal with the application of power and personality is striking. All three feature characters who do much of their business behind […]
Shattered Glass
Directed by Billy Ray
Chuck Lane: He handed us fiction after fiction and we printed them all as fact because we found him entertaining. It’s indefensible. Don’t you know that?
I hadn’t noticed before how much this film owes to All The President’s Men. The similarities are interesting, and rather significant in the way they set the […]
Punk: Attitude
Directed by Don Letts
David Johansen: You know, rock and roll had become this just be-denimed kind of, drum solo kind of thing, and what we wanted to do was bring it down to three minutes and put that Little Richard drag on top of it. And that’s what rock and roll was to us, you […]
