17Dec2019Enjoy my week of seeing movies and losing things! Like, start with the stub to Little Joe. Just not in my pocket when I got home, and I don't know that I was pulling things in and out of that pocket enough on the way home that it could have slip...

15Dec2019So, how the heck was I looking forward to this movie when I didn't much like the first (or second, or third, depending on how you count them)? Is it just the really good cast, or is familiarity just that powerful a force to be reckoned with when it...

26Nov2019I'm not going to lie, I'm disappointed in myself for how my moviegoing plans didn't match with my achievements this week This was the first of a couple weeks working from home because my massive employer didn't arrange things so that we'd be able...

23Nov2019A couple busy weeks and I fall behind like crazy. But they're fun, crazy weeks. Halloween week was a fun one because I got to bounce around a bunch of different venues for unusual shows. Monday (the 28th), for instance, Emerson's Films fr...

29Oct2019Hurrah for finally seeing things which everybody almost certainly would assume I've seen already! That probably doesn't include Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which had more 3D screenings at Boston Common than I would have expected from how they'v...

23Oct2019You know, I haven't really loved these movies - this one especially kind of bored me - but you've kind of got to respect a series made for kids based on a Disney animated classic whose first entry is basically about a woman who has been traumatized b...

15Oct2019There's a part of me that wants to apologize for pages with this much white on them, but you can't treat your hobby like it's a job. I am kind of in a bad cycle of staying up too late, using too much caffeine to get through the workday and not re...

14Oct2019I probably didn't have to go all the way out to Chestnut Hill to see Gemini Man in the closest we're going to get to Ang Lee's preferred format - Regal Fenway is almost certainly playing it in the same 4K/60fps/3D+ format on their RPX screen - but if...

3Oct2019I wonder, a little, if Abominable is getting a simultaneous release and/or doing well in China. I don't know the exact is and outs of how distribution works there - and it's been an especially chaotic year - but it seems like DreamWorks's latest is...

7Sep2019The end of summer comes to the movies with a whimper every year, but I kind of don't mind this year. I was kind of movied-out and the profile of these last two weeks shows it. Both weeks started out with film noir double features at the Bratt...

30Aug2019It's been a weird summer at the Chinese box office, as the new certification board has proven much more strict and capricious, with release dates yanked at the last moment and all sorts of other chaos. Still, $630M in ticket sales doesn't happen jus...

11Jul2019So, about a year ago, Major League Baseball announced the Red Sox and Yankees would play a series in London, I registered to buy tickets as a season ticket-holder, got a chance to buy them in December, and then set my vacation time up. I didn't exac...

18Jun2019Weather both nice and bad kept the moviegoing to a minimum this week.. But first, two ballgames which did not go great - on Monday, the Red Sox coughed it up in the 9th, leading to extra innings and eventually losing it in the 11th. Unlike the l...

9Jun2019Double features and a double-dip. I'm not entirely sure about the Somerville's plans to move the 70mm/widescreen fest to May; the prints were nice but they didn't have a whole lot of room to get creative. Maybe with a full year to prep the next...
