Crap - Buzz Talk & News

I miss writing on the bus to and from work - it was an hour a day with pretty much no distractions, and it made it much harder to fall behind like this, where I'm posting this three weeks after the fact because even though I want to keep this blog up...

Most of the time, I prefer Ned at the Brattle or someone else to program my double features; as someone who has trouble choosing just one movie when standing in front of the "unwatched discs" shelving unit, asking me to assemble a themed pa...

Some people, when they see a cool clip of New York City being taken out by a tidal wave from a movie early in the talkie era, watch it, say "cool!", and then, like, move on to the next hundred things in their Twitter feed. I, apparently, s...

Will wonders never cease - AMC accidentally set the times for a couple of movies in such a way that you could build a thematic double feature without having to kill an hour in between! It also gave me a nice chance to check out the new Dolby Cinema...

Enjoy 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...

Look, folks, I got the review for Tokyo Ghoul S up on eFilmCritic (under whose auspices I was awarded a pass to this festival) before its two-night run, and I've been covering a lot of other movies while they're in theaters, and somehow it means that...

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,...

I'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...

Market weekend started Thursday, I think, but people really started showing up on Friday, so it's probably a bit more important to get in line early and such. Hopefully that means Matthew Pope and Don Thompson can get find some distribution for Bl...

This was the movie I intended to see Friday night only to wind up at Arctic, and while I was initially annoyed at all the weekend shows being canceled, it turns out to be a not-awful decision; The Wandering Earth put a lot of butts in seats and there...

Not much to say about this one - it's been on a shelf for a while, it got released in a spot where studios generally drop things that are too expensive to not try and recoup via theatrical play but which will get crushed by actual good movies, and it...

All that blue takes a while to write up, but it was a pretty fair Fall focus weekend. First up, All About Nina, which I'd anticipated based upon the cast of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Common, but wound up not really liking much, getting me more...

Monday was billed as "Local Film Night" at the festival, and those who have been to this festival (and, I suspect, many others) know that this part of the festival can be perilous as heck, so I'm not necessarily disappointed that they broug...
