December 2025 Viewing Diary
Marty Supreme (2025; d. Joss Safdie) I have mixed feelings on this, especially the last scene, which is corny as hell. Not as corny as the last scene in Lady Bird, but in its way even more obnoxious. Robert Towne … Continue reading

October 2020 Viewing Diary
American Murder: The Family Next Door (2020; d. Jenny Popplewell) Very amateurish. Perhaps interesting to those who weren’t following the case as closely as I was. I’m STILL following the case. Chris Watts seems to think he’s going to be … Continue reading

February 2019 Viewing Diary
St. Agatha (2019; d. Darren Lynn Bousman) I reviewed this nunsploitation horror film which I resisted at first for some reason, but then I got into the spirit of it. It’s fun. It’s what it needs to be. It also … Continue reading

R.I.P. Curtis Hanson
8 Mile took over my life for a time. I saw it on its opening day. I returned 3 or maybe 4 more times. I was a Slim Shady fan from the beginning and had felt apprehensive about the film, … Continue reading
Review: The Nice Guys (2016)
More later, but I just wanted to say: Don’t miss it. It’s in theaters now. It got great reviews. But nobody went to see it. It should be seen. This is old-fashioned buddy-cop entertainment with so many great elements (comedy, … Continue reading
Review: Red Obsession (2013)
The title makes it sound like it might be a film about the McCarthy era in United States politics. Instead, it’s a documentary about the Bordeaux region of France, and wine obsession. Narrated by Russell Crowe. My review for Roger … Continue reading
A Week to Remember, a Shuffle to Save
“(Marie’s the Name Of) His Latest Flame” – Elvis Presley. 1961 Elvis. Post-Army Elvis. It was originally recorded by Del Shannon, but it will always be associated with EP, I’m thinking. It’s unique: very interesting beat, not easily classifiable as … Continue reading
