So I don't usually do these "tagged" things, but I kinda think this one is cool. I was tagged by Scott , he has a pretty obscure set of quotes up. Plus I'm curious if my movie geek friends will get some of these. I'm not sure if the point is to be obscure...
Growing up in a Mennonite church, worship and singing meant acapella, 4 part (at least) harmony with no instruments. While I grew to love all sorts of instruments in music and even learned to play some, that experience shaped a love of vocal music in...
As a J.J. Abrams fan from way back, I was probably going to be interested in Cloverfield anyway. And I thought the viral marketing stuff was pretty brilliant. It's always fun when the internet fan boys start hyping things way ahead of time. Kristin and...
A month or so back Kristin and I watched Inland Empire and it turned out to be a most perplexing film, even for a Lynch fan like myself. Kristin is not familiar with Lynch and the film left her most unsettled. It is not an easy film to watch, but like...
If you are a film nerd like me who still misses the chemistry and brilliance of the original Siskel and Ebert movie review show, some really cool stuff just went up on the Ebert and Roeper (gag) website. Yeah, just not a fan of Roeper, he's not enough...
First of all, it appears there will finally be a full release of all the episodes of one of my top 3 TV shows of all time, Twin Peaks . It's been quite a struggle to get all the licensing worked out on this one and for a long time the pilot was very hard...
An uncommonly good year for Netflix rentals, due to the fun of watching/rewatching movies with Kristin and the cancelling of my cable package this past summer. In addition to these, we watched a number of Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV shows on DVD as well...
Here are my favorite movies rented from Netflix in 2005 Maria Full of Grace Bonhoeffer - great documentary Monster Sin City Rififi Finding Neverland Red Beard - a great Kurosawa classic with lots of soul and grace Nine Queens - a twist of a movie ala...
Anybody who is a fan of heist/swindle films like The Spanish Prisoner or The Usual Suspects should check out Nine Queens . It's a great little Argentinian movie that will keep you guessing. You just know somebody is getting played, but the movie keeps...
<i>The Woodsman</i>, starring real-life couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick is a thoughtful, plaintive movie about a difficult subject. Walter, played with grace and restraint by Kevin Bacon, is a sex offender recently released from prison...
It’s rather ironic that because of improvements in technology we are better able to study nature. March of the Penguins joins other recent nature documentaries such as Winged Migration in giving us a more intimate view of the life of animals than ever...
If the advance screening previews are to be believed, this movie could be similar to the experience I felt after walking in to see The Matrix for the first time and getting my head blown off. This looks really interesting and the cast is quite impressive...
Not sure how many of you subscribe to Netflix, but if so... They have that new friends thing where you can share recommendations, ratings, etc. Ping me if you want to be Netflix pals.
I finally had a chance to see Sideways Friday night and to be honest, I was afraid after all the hype I wouldn't be into it. Often movies get all kinds of hype and I end up very disappointed. I'm happy to say Sideways was not one of those movies. While...
