8 word reviews for the movies I consumed in 2008
In alphabetical order I haven’t been writing these down even though I seem to average 2 a month, which is entirely possible because I don’t have kids or the wherewithal to learn CSS. Oh, and I don’t pick favorites just because. 27 DressesIt was free on a plane ride. Disposable. Burn After ReadingJust okay, wanted […]

a tin full of cookies
all that remains are these images The remainder of Christmas Day: We caught The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is a fine enough flick. I didn’t want Brad Pitt to get younger as much as I wanted to turn on some lamps around the set. Either it was a dark movie or the projectors […]

There Will Be Blood, Once
A scene from Once Dag, how can I put all this down brief-like so I can feel like I captured the gist without taking away too much time from actually living (and sleeping)? If you consider watching movies “living”—which I do, because movies are the only real thing I do outside of work and love […]
