    I've seen 'Coffee and Cigarettes' and 'Down By Law.'
    And now 'Stranger Than Paradise.'
    I want to like them, but I don't.
    Yet I still want to see 'Dead Man.'

    I watched Death Race last night and the whole time I'm asking the TV, "Joan Allen, WTF were you thinking?"

    I was sorta on the fence about seeing Whip It until I noticed that Z. Bell was in it. Then, I was all in.
    The wife and I enjoyed it greaty.

    Saw it on Sunday; 11:30 Matinee filled with parents and kids. I know a lot of "kids films" have jokes or references that the kids aren't expected to get, but this film was different -- the theme and message of the film was way too adult; even if there were a bunch of giant muppets playing out the adult themes. The movie made my girlfriend cry; some of it hit home for her, from when she was a kid. Yes, Spike Jonze is the man. It was an oddly sophisticated film.

    Just watch any Spike Jonze-directed Daft Punk video. I think the best video ever made is "Da Funk" ... It's uplifting yet so wrenching, but in the end you think, "All-fucking-right, man, you stuck to your convictions!"

    where the wild things are ...

    i don't know. it's terrible but it's not so bad. it's good but it's strange and bizarre. it's visual overload as if it's part bjork's "human behavior" and part HR pufnstuf and part daft punk video "da funk" ... all mashed up and mixed to the music of the yeah yeah yeahs. and ... there is just no way this mindfuck was made to be watched sober. zero way.

    max records just bought himself a nice career in hollywood. he's got It, and spike surely channeled the rage and innocence of an imaginative 9-year-old boy who has no stabilizing father figure and who is being raised by a single mom overwhelmed by work and family and lonely without a stabilizing man in her life.

    (as an aside, max looks like he could be ellen page's little brother.)


    i just don't know. this one is unique.

    I still can't believe they made a feature-length film out of a children's book that's maybe 100 words long. Coming in summer 2010: Michael Bay's "Pat The Bunny"

    "Zombieland" was an absolute classic. Loved every minute of it.
