September/October 2023 Viewing Diary

Posted on December 3, 2023 by sheila

I moved in late September. Again. I found a little cozy apartment, the second floor of a little house, with slanted ceilings, little cubbyhole-eaves everywhere, and a big yard. It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach. I found it … Continue reading →

March 2023 Viewing Diary

Posted on April 2, 2023 by sheila

March was a bitch. Working on a big single project which sucked up all of my attention. Marathon not a sprint. I can’t do things half-way. This project was never ever out of my mind. I’m close to the finish … Continue reading →

R.I.P. Nicki Aycox

Posted on November 21, 2022 by sheila

I was so saddened to hear the news of actress Nicki Aycox’s death. She was 47. Aycox made such an enormous impression as the demon Meg on Supernatural. She showed up in the first season, signaling that larger things were … Continue reading →

July 2022 Viewing Diary

Posted on August 10, 2022 by sheila

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019; d. Quentin Tarantino) I like it more every time I see it. I’ve seen it maybe 7 or 8 times. Desert Fury (1947; d. Lewis Allen) I adore this messed-up homoerotic Technicolor fever-dream. … Continue reading →

Trauma and Self-Pity: Jensen Ackles’ Acting Technique

Posted on July 12, 2022 by sheila

“We’ve got work to do.”

Posted on July 4, 2022 by sheila

Kripke knows what he’s doing. He knows who’s watching. He takes care. He keeps it in line with the new series and aesthetic, but he knows we out here will recognize the nod. Supernatural The Boys

June 2022 Viewing Diary

Posted on July 3, 2022 by sheila

Watcher (2022; d. Chloe Okuno) I was super impressed – and totally freaked out – by this thriller, psychological and otherwise. The mood is HEAVY with omnipresent DREAD. I reviewed for Ebert. Russian Doll (Season 1 and 2, 2019-2022) I’m … Continue reading →

August 2021 Viewing Diary

Posted on September 3, 2021 by sheila

Pig (2021; d. Michael Sarnoski) I wish I could write at length about some of these. I just don’t have the time these days. I absolutely loved Pig, about an isolated woodsman-truffle-hunter (Nicolas Cage) whose beloved truffle pig is stolen. … Continue reading →
