This entry is actually a movie review 1. Yellow Freight System trucks are actually more of a tangerine. 2. Why on earth did I go see Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story last night? And why are flicks starting to build a tagline into their title? The only saving grace was making cheap incest and…

The movie that smokes more than two packs a day My gym teacher made us sit on the side of the pool and splash ourselves with water to get acclimated — to avoid shock, he said. I remember hunching over hoping the roll of fat in my midsection (that gave me the shape of a…

A film much too quiet for the noise of a shutter firing off — a snapshot of a poster in front of the theater would suffice. I didn’t know of Truman Capote like my mom did. I didn’t make a special point of catching his appearances on Johnny Carson. And I didn’t know why he…

Waiting for the movie to begin On Sunday I went with my mom to check out The Aristocrats—the movie about a donut of a joke where comedians fill in the middle with offensive whatnot. No real spoilers here. It was okay, and relatively disappointing. Certainly nothing that requires a big screen. Much of the film…

You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone. I’m thinking, the hardest thing is to know when it’s time to move on… and let things go. A heavy thought I don’t normally glean from the tube. This last season of Six Feet Under has been a fast paced, cram-it-all-in, drama fest. On top…

If the movie had as much expression as this poster on the marquee… This movie is a lot like Groundhog Day, but without the overt comedy and magic that a man could in fact, live a day over and over until he got it right. The repetition is still there, as is the lead actor.…

))(( back and forth … forever. Impromptu trip to the movie theater last night to catch Me and You and Everyone We Know (Sorry mom, I couldn’t wait.) Two word review: Nice. Quirky. It was just so damn innocent and delicate. Perhaps innocent isn’t the best word as there’s a hint of perversion that surfaces…

My friend made that title up, along with “Wookie hooky.” So yeah, I went to see that new Star Wars twice in 24 hours. A few thoughts: 1.) I think this movie is entirely appropriate for young children. 3 and up. Everyone should see this, especially Republicans. 2.) We can’t let the robots take over,…

Hi, my name is Chris and I like cheese. Wendy’s dad once wrote a song about chick flicks, in which the narrator pines for movies with blood, buildings blowing up, car chases and aliens from outer space. This movie had none of those. It did have lots of gaps though, and plenty of schmaltz.
