Silent - Buzz Talk & News

One movie hitting multiplexes this weekend, and I'm not saying it's a big deal, but there are an astonishing number of things attempting to ride its coattails. I, personally, picked up a Blu-ray set of Battle Royale on Tuesday and the new volume of...

Let's get straight to the Terrible Photography:Time of the Robots director Erik Hammen and Garen Daly.Not a whole lot to say about this movie that I didn't say in my review, and let's face it, I'm kind of surprised at how much I had to say there, con...

Well, the "always have it up on Monday" plan didn't really last for a month. In my defense, I actually spent a lot of time in theaters this week, with Wednesday the only real "day off":Friday, meanwhile, was a day off from work a...

Yes, I know I just posted a preview-oriented entry yesterday, but IFFBoston had a preview for this one at the Coolidge on Tuesday, and though I don't know exactly when it's coming out, having the word out about it being fantastic seems like a good th...

And so the Chaplin retrospective runs its last shows at the Paramount. Would it be unduly selfish of me to hope for another return to the Boston area, even though they've already played at the Museum of Fine Arts and Somerville Theatre? There's sti...

10am movies, a really World Series that is pretty exciting despite the lack of Red Sox involvement, and a desire to grill one last time before winter shut that down for good account for a reasonably slow week for me at the cinemas:Plus, I picked up a...

You know what amused me about this movie that is really not funny in an objective sense? The gloves worn by the ringmaster character, as they are the exact sort of gloves worn by Mickey Mouse. They are pure white, have two slits and a button on the...

A busy moviegoing week:Did I deliberately miss the bus last Thursday because it's much easier to make it downtown for screenings of Margaret and Love Crime (on their last day in town) when working from home in Cambridge than it is from the office in...

The Brattle had a quick three-night "Peter and Alice" series, apparently tied into a Harvard Bookstore event that they hosted before this screening. I wish I'd managed to get to the other nights, as Tuesday was Hook and the P.J. Hogan vers...

Janus Films has been shuttling a collection of restored Charlie Chaplin films around the country for about a year and a half now, and ArtsEmerson's Paramount Theater is actually their second time landing in Boston (they were at the Museum of Fine Art...

Since this was a relatively quiet week in which I wrote up a blog post for everything I saw, this is more or less a collection of pointers and excuses for there not being more:No ticket: Ocean Heaven (screener DVD in my living room on 7 October, abou...

For the thing that I tend to think of as the signature element of this blog, This Week has certainly gotten away from me a few times. When festival time starts up again next year, I'm going to have to figure out how to not let that happen.No film fe...

I can't say I planned for these two back-to-back; as much as I keep an eye on the special presentations at Boston's smaller venues, I stumbled on each of these films as I was making up last week's Next Week in Tickets and found myself intrigued (so e...

Conservatively, I'd say there were twice as as many people at Seven Chances as there were at Our Hospitality last month. I'm not saying it's going to continue with that sort of geometric or even linear progression, but if it does, then the place wil...
