Didn't I make a resolution about this not happening outside of festivals this year? But, hey, cut me some slack - there were holidays and vacations and catching up at work from those things involved! 19 November - 25 November 26 November - 2 Decemb...

"Mainstream movie geeks" seems like a strange thing to say, but it is a thing. You know you're not quite in that group, though, when the new thing that every genre movie site has been raving comes out and you're like "but... silent mo...

I joke about living at the Brattle during programs like this, but this week shows just how true that can be. I've got it in the back of my head to treat the Universal Centennial program like a film festival and come back with full reviews, but I'm p...

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...

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...

This week's distractions: More baseball (the Yankees being stomped by the Tigers was great fun) and trying to make my way through Charles Stross's Rule 34. I love the guy, but an entire book with multiple viewpoint characters in the second person w...

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...

In a bit of irony, my birthday was when MoviePass launched their latest incarnation (which, I think, would be MP 3.0), making it much easier to use on the go and at more theaters. But I wound up seeing fewer movies, because I kept waiting for the ca...

Hey, I went to a Red Sox game and they won! I'm sure it's happened at some other point this season, but I can't recall it. Plus, movies! Stubless: Young Gun in the Time, in my living room on Saturday night via a Fantasia Festival screener. I've...

Busy week! Again! And, honestly, it could have been more so, except that I was still operating under the peculiar idea that Yankee-Red Sox games are worth watching. Actually went to one of those games. The Red Sox lost, of course (it feels like...

Busy week! A lot of it was packed into the weekend, but there was a lot of good variety. I must admit, I'm kind of disappointed in myself that all I did for moviegoing on Labor Day was The Ocean Waves; I was still pretty wiped out from the pre-co...

You know, given my propensity to lose even large things, it's amazing that more of these pages don't look like this: Premium Rush isn't my fault - I'm starting to suspect I'm the only person in the Boston area using MoviePass, since it seems to fl...

Busy! And potentially busier!I had actually planned on going to two Red Sox games this week - even had a ticket for Sunday's game in one of my favorite places to sit (on the right field roof), but a combination of a little frustration at how the Sox...

Quiet, quiet week, as I tried to get more movies off my "to-review" list than I added: Stubless: Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai (seen in the living room) Kind of surprised to see The Expendables 2 playing one of the even-numbered theate...

Been a while since I did one of these, but 21 daily posts from Fantasia count for something, no? It'll be a while before I've written up everything I saw there, but in the meantime, a quick table of contents: 16 July - 22 July 23 July - 29 July 30...
