About Me

“If a movie is worth watching, it is worth rewatching.” – T.J. Royal

I have waaaay too many movies “to see” on my list here. But ya gotta have something to shoot for!

I like movies, perhaps too much! I’ve got a gaggle of ‘em on DVD, and I’ve seen lots more. I’m spending way too much time trying to procure Criterion DVDs that don’t cost an arm and a leg, and other classic DVDs as well.

I’m a fan of the latest Pixar motion picture as much as I am G.W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box. I enjoy The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as much as The Wizard of Oz, 2001: A Space Odyssey as much as Mulholland Drive.

And I DEFINITELY like Ugetsu as much as A Clockwork Orange.

I keep my trusty Timeout Film Guide 13th Edition (2005) not too far away from wherever I am, peaking into it and marking movies that I’ve already seen and ought to see. There have literally been hundreds of movies I’ve marked in there that I know I want to see, and several dozen that I have already seen thanks to its wonderful collection of reviews.

More movies to add, more to add……“as time goes by……”

Carnival of Souls

Carnival of Souls

Maddeningly uneven experience, even if it has an enjoyable highlight or three. With its wildily inconsistent performances, especially from the lead, and its ocassionally intriguing set pieces and scenes…  read review

Cloverfield

(Review written in January 2008)

I don’t want to spoil anything for anybody about this feature. I’ll just say it’s one of the best horror/suspense movies I’ve had the pleasure of watching in…  read review

Radio Days

Radio Days

As good an actress as Mia Farrow can be, up until the last 10 minutes of “Radio Days,” Sally was absolutely the most annoying female character I have ever had to hear or see in a motion picture. I…  read review

Oldboy

Oldboy

Buttressed by one of the gnarliest denouements in modern cinema, “Oldboy” has the style to entice and the storytelling chops to leave one in awe.

Whether it does leave you in awe or just turns…  read review
