The 2009 Screening Log, Boyo

You know how I feel about the Coens. Hell, I loved INTOLERABLE CRUELTY. But this... this is shit. No idea what everyone's seeing in it.

A well-edited collection of various extreme scenes from lousy Australian movies.

But look at it this way: Now you'll never have to see those movies! That should be worth an extra half-grade alone, right?

Also: Wow, you were depressingly kinda right about LAKE TAHOE. There is nothing going on in this film in my opinion.

A Not-Redundant-At-All Short Film Viewing Log for 2007

Sorry I didn't like your film, dude. I don't have any desire to hurt your kid, by the by. Don't know where you got that idea.

It's certainly an odd duck, but it's also a clear and marvelous cinematic achievement. Best part is, it really holds together - maybe even improves - on a second viewing.

Oh, BTW: but it has the mentality of Maxim Magazine: tacky, homophobic, gratuitous, infantile.

You say that as though that were a bad thing... ;-)

So RUMBA is basically the same end result as L'ICEBERG? 'Cause I liked that overall, but I'd like to see these guys work the kinks out of their modus operandi someday.

Oh, trust me. You really don't want to go there. You're better off staying home and watching "The 700 Club."

See, I dunno -- I dug the structure. Thought it was well-handled. As for the ending... well, consider that both parties were Guv'mint Spooks. I think there might be a bit of subtle political humor on the part of Mister Gilroy.

Just picked 'em up from Karagarga, actually. But thanks for the reminder.

But it's a good kind of hurt, innit?

That's not jazz. That's death metal with saxophones.

it trojan-horses radicalism in through a quintessentially conservative genre much better than did Brokeback.

If I could write like you, I'd never leave the house.
