Filmalog: May 2007

http://filmaloguer.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 31, 2007. Bande à part = Band of Outsiders (1964). Although I'm not sure what to make of what I saw, I liked it. It helped a bit to watch the "visual dictionary" featurette on the DVD afterwards, which pointed out a number of film and literary references that were lost on me and probably anyone else who wasn't a film student or a member of the original audiences. Not to suggest the film is in any way irrelevant. Au contraire! Of getting something as simple as that wrong seems ludicrous.

Filmalog: March 2007

http://filmaloguer.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 22, 2007. Farce of the Penguins (2006). Bob Saget, who's funny (and foul-mouthed). Now dontcha know, saw March of the Penguins. And decided he had to make a parody. So, with the help of lots of stock footage and lots of actor/comedian friends, he did. And although I thought March of the Penguins. Was good, it was certainly asking to be parodied once media and silly conservative types started praising the penguins' " family. Sunday, March 18, 2007. Huo Yuan Jia, aka Jet Li's Fearless (2006).

Filmalog: Summer Movie Splendor

http://filmaloguer.blogspot.com/2007/10/summer-movie-splendor.html

Friday, October 12, 2007. I won't bother making excuses (although there are plenty of good ones — moonlighting. For example) for the lack of updates over the summer. Here's a rundown, roughly in chronological order, of every movie I watched from mid-June to late September. Memoirs of a Geisha. 2005) rating: 4.0. 2003) rating: 9.0. Also great: Hope Davis as Joyce, and Judah Friedlander who played Toby the "nyerd.". 1967) rating: 10.0. So not only is The Graduate a great movie, but it represents sort of a ...

Filmalog: Grindhouse (2007)

http://filmaloguer.blogspot.com/2007/05/grindhouse-2007.html

Tuesday, May 8, 2007. Overall rating: 8.0. Could possibly be my favorite zombie movie after. Shaun of the Dead. Whereas the latter is a comedy with action,. Is an action movie with tongue-in-cheek comedy. For example, Cherry Darling's (Rose McGowan's) gun-leg is simultaneously super-badass and super-cheesy. The plot is irrelevant and utterly uncomplicated- zombies, mayhem, explosions- so I'll just list things I loved, in addition to the "leg.". Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals, The Rock. From Dusk Till Dawn.

Filmalog: April 2007

Tuesday, April 24, 2007. He's more helium now than man: inflated and evil.". Okay I know this is extremely tangential to the usual movie stuff, but I had to make note of this:. For more info: http:/ www.starwars.com/community/event/celebration/news20070417b.html. This also creates an opportunity in the uber-nerdy bumper sticker market. Namely, one that reads: "My other car is the inflated head of Darth Vader.". Monday, April 23, 2007. Best Cop movie. Ever. Anyway, I made some comments a few posts ago.

Filmalog: February 2007

http://filmaloguer.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Stranger Than Fiction (2006). Somewhere in the middle of watching this movie I wondered, "What would Charlie Kaufman. Have done with this story idea? What I'm getting at is, the story was a good idea, especially for a romantic comedy, but it wasn't as ambitious as its premise allowed. Nevertheless, the movie is worth a look, and makes some interesting, if heavy-handed, points about art and sacrifice, and about facing death. Sunday, February 25, 2007. Anyway, I liked. Now I h...

Confidence, Cohen: June 2006

http://confidencecohen.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Adolescence and Contemporary Media. Monday, June 19, 2006. Self Evolved: The Problem of the Past. I need to diverge briefly from my concern with TV shows and literature to address an article I read recently which asks questions that hit to the heart of my interest in adolescence. It's a historical overview of human self-understanding and provides a compelling but, for me, problematic framework for describing how human psychology has evolved over time. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. He prov...
