This exists because of a glorified dare, or a particularly fuzzy human being. It will not review so much as ramble. It will not be academic but rather acidic. Growth will be apparent from the early to current stages, and the author will not attempt to hide progress through pretense. It will generally restrict itself to the medium of cinema, without ruling out the chance of evolving interests. It will be shameless with regard to obsessions, preferences, and narrowness. The intention will generally be for substance, but brevity will be rare. Few poetic attempts will be made, as the author’s prose is only too prosaic. Ire will give way to irony, and ignorance will be ignored. Near to none have been told about the existence of this log by the author. Those who have should visit often, at least once a year, but not daily.

    Hey buddy. My name is Tom, and I was hoping that you would be interested in exchanging links with my website. It’s called what-song.com and it lists all the songs heard in movies. We currently receive around 1000 – 1500 visits a day, and are ranked 590 000th on Alexa if that means anything to you. I may be pushing it by asking for this. But i need a website to sponsor my website slightly more. I’m looking for a site that will put a ‘Music’ section in its links sidebar and in there you can put links to some of your favourite movie soundtracks linked to the corresponding page on my site. So, for example I just finished writing the scenes in for Inglorious Basterds. So you could put this link under the music section..

    http://www.what-song.com/movie/title.php?Title=Inglourious%20Basterds

    This may seem like overkill, but I need to test out links to individual pages. But yer, if you’re not keen for the individual links, im happy to do a simple link exchange. You put up http://www.what-song.com and i’ll put up http://www.andrewsidea.wordpress.com

    Anyway, get back to me… Thanks a lot.
    Tom

  • That was pure wild-animal craziness: Fantastic Mr. Fox December 9, 2009
    Finally, disciples of Wes Anderson can feel vindicated – not that they ever cared – for their faith in a filmmaker whose efforts seem to hit and miss with the masses (particularly the critics) but which never stop providing constant joys to those blessed with the sight and souls to recognize and to feel the [...]

  • “Thanksgiving/Christmas Film Quiz” December 7, 2009
    Found this originally here, but I guess it originated on the web over here. I have a strange inability to resist these. 1) Second-favorite Coen Brothers movie. O Brother, Where Art Thou? 2) Movie seen only on home format that you would pay to see on the biggest movie screen possible? (Question submitted by Peter Nellhaus) Andrei [...]

  • Dunked in Poo: Slumdog Millionaire December 6, 2009
    Slumdog Millionaire is, as J.M. Tyree so effectively put it, a film that fits into that genre all its own, “the Best Picture Picture.” Tyree (in a recent issue of Film Quarterly) and Salman Rushdie (in his infamous lecture at Emory University) have been some of the most thoughtful and articulate opponents of this movie, [...]

  • Double-Doubles: In The Cut December 4, 2009
    The second, and later film from Jane Campion, In The Cut is not quite as “critically acclaimed,” as they say, but it should be. At least, it should be given more credit cinematically, since Campion perfects her already solid technique and creates a really impressive narrative, rich and cohesive, with elements swirling around in [...]

  • Fetish Objet Petit A: The Piano December 3, 2009
    Two from Jane Campion, in order from older to not-as-old. The Piano is one of those films that peppers syllabi throughout film studies courses, functioning as it does as a textbook case of numerous cinematic motifs and psychoanalytic themes. As a plus, it’s a somewhat “feminist” film, in the vein of a Mildred Pierce or [...]

  • The Other “Twilight” November 27, 2009
    The second, and decidedly superior product, from Robert Benton last weekend. In the recent Feast of Love, Benton traded in the solid, veteran cast from his previous film Twilight for a set of young and sexy pawns to cater to navel-gazing empty-headed philosophes. This film, however, takes major advantage of its L.A. setting, incorporating the [...]

  • I’m Stuffed: Feast of Love November 25, 2009
    Wasn’t planning on posting this now, but an historic moment has arrived: my first blog post while airborne, thanks the the good people at Google and Virgin America. Too bad the movie sucks. Two from Robert Benton, two days in a row, starting with the more recent of the two: Feast of Love. A weird film; [...]

  • The Sting November 23, 2009
    Not “a” childhood favorite, but “the” childhood favorite: The Sting. Taught me everything I needed to know about the blurry area between “right” and “wrong.” Is it really unethical to steal from someone who steals for a living? Is it immoral to lie to a guy who had your best friend killed? Yeah, they’re a […]
