Genius in France, Genius in France, Genius in France

Kay S. Hymowitz has a delightful story in City Journal about nutjob author and filmmaker Michael Moore. It's long, but worth a read.

Michael Moore Theme Song

My sister and brother-in-law gave me one of those plastic gift cards to Borders for my birthday. I used the funds to purchase "Weird Al" Yankovic's latest album "Poodle Hat." The album has some great parodies, including new versions of Eminem and Avril Lavigne songs. But, the album also contains an original (not a parody) […]

Matrix -- Reloaded

Saw the much-ballyhooed movie this morning with about 30 others. It was nice not to be part of a packed theater. The Rave/Sex scene was dull and much too long. Otherwise it was a very intriguing plot and I'm anxious to find out how it ends. I think it's a good thing that the finale […]

The book is good, but the movie is better

Or at least more fun. I'm referring to Steven Spielberg's latest movie, "Catch me if you can." The movie is the story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr. -- a notorious con man and check forger who stole millions of dollars before his 20th birthday. Abagnale posed as an airline pilot, a medical doctor, a lawyer […]

On a related movie note

Is the following individual a racist? Please vote. I HATE interracial relationships. Why do white men feel that white women are inferior to those baloney smellin' black whores? And it's not only that, but it's as if white men HATE white women, the very people who gave birth to white men. I think that interracial […]

The Two Towers

I saw the latest installment of Director Peter Jackson's epic trilogy on Wednesday. Yes, I know it's two days later -- but I've needed the time to really digest it. The film is excellent, and should, once again, be nominated for a fistful of Oscars. The Two Towers is about the primal battle of Good […]

What's the point?

I was just flipping channels, and saw on TNN that they are apparently showing the movie "Showgirls." So I'm wondering if it's a 1/2-hour show, after they've edited it for television.

Distributed critiquing

As part of the promotion for the Stanley Kubrick/Steven Spielberg movie A.I., Dreamworks created an ingenious online game that had Internet cybersleuths trying to solve a murder mystery. The puzzles were extremely complicated -- and unlikely to ever be solved by just one person. So, thousands of people banded together, using their expertise, knowledge, and […]

The beginning of the end for VHS?

The New York Times has an article on the emergence of DVDs in the past five years. I got my DVD player a little over 2 1/2 years ago (DON'T BUY RCA) for one simple reason -- widescreen. I've hated for years that filmmakers were forced, for some bizarre reason, to produce the "pan & […]
