Just another Time Traveling Manic Monday – “Timecrimes”
“Timecrimes” is a movie I liked that I’m having a hard time describing. It’s not a typical drama because the protagonists and antagonists are less traditional, sometimes they are one and the same, and in other cases your enemy is just time. But not like the way Justin Timberlake had to face time in “in [...]
Now on Netflix: Fish Tank
From a 2009 Jury Prize at Cannes, this is a nice little Gem that further excites and fosters my love for British film. Even British “ghettos” seem to be cooler, which is where this film’s main character is from. Mia is a 15-yea-old Chav from Essex, an aggressive young girl who just seems to enjoy [...]
NOW ON NETFLIX – “Everything Must Go”
“Everything Must Go” must go nowhere. I loved this movie. I can always tell a good film when listening to the trailer gets me excited all over again. “Everything Must Go” feels like a low budget film with a new side of Ferrel that stumps “Stranger Than Fiction”, which I know is saying a lot. [...]
DIDN’T CATCH A WORD – “Elling”
“Elling” is about two patients from an institution who receive permission to take care of themselves in government housing.

Neither of the characters have any discernable disabilities, just social setbacks and difficulty with emotions which leads to a lot of [...]
SCREW’EM IT’S STEVE COOGEN DAY
I’ve tried double posting two movies at the same time in the past, and it was an epic fail… so I don’t know why I’m trying again. Here’s the gist of it. After I saw The Trip, I loved him. Saxxondale… not so much. Hamlet 2… I couldn’t believe it. I loved that movie. So [...]
TIME FOR SOMETHING SERIOUS – “Rabbit Hole”
Only seconds into the trailer, you can feel the intensity of this film. The talent… is amazing. The story is so simple and yet so complex as well. Rabbit Hole is a great, great drama worth the emotional hardships required to enjoy this film. The plot is slowly revealed over time, but more or less [...]
RED:NESDAY – “Crazy. Stupid. Love.”
“Crazy. Stupid. Love.” was crazy stupid wonderful. I’m amused by how often I seem to watch the same actors doing the same sort of thing in the same types of movies, but “Crazy. Stupid. Love.” has a little more pizazz and depth than afore mentioned “Date Night” First of all, apparently I love Ryan Gosling. He’s [...]
