3-d - Buzz Talk & News

I really miss movie theaters, guys. Pretty decent run in my living room, though. I mentioned last week that I seemed to have trouble breaking the habit of scrolling through my Twitter feed or whatever during the evening hours, and managed to con...

Two different bits of "catching up" this week! To start with, I finally saw Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite, which I feel like I should have caught earlier, but it's one of those that is just long enough to get scheduled at weird times. It is,...

Isn't it supposed to be spring now? Because it was cold out this week, whether in the bleachers at Fenway or killing time in Harvard Square before a show at the Brattle. I mean, I actually hung around work for an extra hour or so because that me...

I bought myself a fancy new TV a couple of months ago, not so much because there was anything really wrong with my old one - that Toshiba projection model still shows a nice, clean 1080p picture - but in large part because I like 3D and noticed, whil...

I'm eighty-five, ninety percent kidding when I say that this movie cost me a hundred dollars: Twenty for the Blu-ray itself, forty for a new 3D Blu-ray player, and forty for a device to play a 3D Blu-ray on a 2D television. And while this is someth...

Looking at how late this one is running, and how many movies I'll be seeing at BUFF before Sunday's done, I think it's pretty safe to say that TWIT will be doing a festival skip week next week. But, as you can see, this one's late-ish because of a b...

We really need some folks writing at EFC who have kids to watch these movies with. Don't get me wrong, I like them and like reviewing them, but as a single childless almost-forty-year-old, I've got no idea how it plays to kids in the audience. I li...

Ah, stupid snow and work and knowing I'm not going to make it through a two-hour-plus midnight movie, leaving all that white space: I meant to see a couple other things, but for some reason Tuesdays have been keeping me at work late (stuff you can...

I try to ignore box-office stuff, but I just read that Mama is leading the weekend again, and... really? It's kind of a not-good mess, and it's going to beat out both The Last Stand - which is a darn good action movie - and Hansel & Gretel - whi...

World series done, the Brattle starting a series I want to see a great deal of, a special presentation by Emerson, and a fairly intense week of new releases. Things just got busy at the cinema: How busy? Well, let's break out some Horrible Photo...

Huzzah, MoviePass worked for The Man with the Iron Fists! Both the "one per day" and "no 3D" rules kept me from using it for Wreck-It Ralph, but that's OK, as this was a festival-full weekend and I had to squeeze what I wanted in...

Feeling well and getting out! MoviePass finally got my card to me, although it was still a frustrating week of not actually getting to use it properly: The browser on my phone wasn't allowing location data to be sent on Tuesday, so (already being...

No real theme for these two, other than both being released on the 26th and a little bit of MoviePass-related frustration in getting the tickets (in previous months, I would have been able to buy IMAX and 3D tickets at the independent theaters suppor...

Cold + baseball playoffs = Not just not getting out to see many movies, but not feeling like writing about them, either. Packed the days I did head out good, though: I kind of suspect that I should stop seeing movies like Dust Up, especially when...
