2008 is almost gone as the New Year will arrive in a matter of hours (or it may have already arrived depending on when you read this). So, in anticipation for the number of times I’ll forget to put “2009″ on whatever documents need a proper year, here’s a little listing of 9 [...]

Good… or Creepy?
At number 9 on the AV Club’s “Worst Films of 2008″ list, the premise for “Good Dick” and one of it’s main characters sounds a bit off… too off: “Ritter is the kind of cutesy emo-boy who sleeps on Palka’s couch, then wakes up early so he can tie a[...]

Too Lazy To Right Write
Michael Moore is the newest guy to pull a Radiohead, but not with music (though if it were, I’m sure it’d be somewhere in the general stereotype for emo these days – whiny and overly-dramatic). Moore released his newest piece, Slacker Uprising, on the net for a free download yester[...]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1001xArPVk] They really don’t make ‘em like this anymore. That was one of many thoughts that jumped in my brain while watching Rock N’ Roll High School the other day. Camp doesn’t even begin to describe it. Joyful absurdity. Now that m[...]

One Long Vision
For some reason the climax of Children of Men has come up in multiple conversations in the past few days. Namely, the fact that it’s such a grand scheme that shows how brave and experimental even the most mundane action shots can be and how exciting a typical art-house film (or film for an art[...]

Nick and Norah's Infinite Mix-Up
About a week ago I came across the trailer for the new Michael Cera-propelled film, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. The movie is aimed at all things indie in both film and music and although the plot seems thin, the brief clips from Nick and Norah have a down-to-earth sense of adventure to[...]
