Steve Martin is exactly the only comedian who has ever made me laugh, then left me scratching my head and wondering, “Why was that funny?” I remember trying to break down the SNL sketch where he and Gilda Radner lock eyes from across the room, share a perfectly choreographed...
Forgive me if I slip and call American Yakuza “American Yazuka”, but I’ve been calling it that for weeks. “When are we going to watch American Yazuka? Is American Yazuka here yet? I wanna watch Viggo in American Yazuka!” Even after being corrected, I persisted, as though I had...
Timothy Treadwell loved bears. He loved them so much that every summer he went to live with them in the Alaskan wilderness. He spent months on end just hanging out with them and making movies all by himself. He even loved bear poo, and caressed it with his hand....
The first ten times I watched A Perfect Murder, I thought it was the cut. I liked the sexy slowness of the plot, I thought Gwyneth Paltrow was a top notch heroine, I was happy to see Michael Douglas, and I went on to develop a hardcore crush on...
As fascinated as I am by the Taylor-Burtons, I approach their movies with equal parts anticipation and trepidation. For me, there are certain things they always bring to mind: class, elegance, romance, and, inevitably, fighting. It’s the fighting that scares me, and when I saw that The V.I.P.s is...
Despite the fact that I wanted to throw my shoe at the TV the first time I tried to watch Titanic: Born In Belfast, it’s not such a bad little documentary. It’s on par with the films that run in a continuous loop in historical museums, and it does...
I enjoy a good documentary as much as the next girl, but somehow I just wasn’t feeling Air Guitar Nation. I blame myself. It’s a noisy, cheerful look into the U.S. Air Guitar Championships and the lives of its participants. If that’s your bag, then this is the DVD...
For some reason I always wind up watching epic PBS documentaries at, like, two in the morning. There’s nowhere else to go, nothing else on TV, and the narration makes you feel like you’re hearing a really long bedtime story…even if that story is about, say, The Donner Party....
If 1980s Kim Basinger were kidnapped and locked in an attic with nothing but a broken phone to save her, she most certainly would have spent the duration of that movie skittering around the room and letting out startled screams. Like a confused chihuahua, 80s Kim would never have...
I might as well admit that I settled in to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua with a fair amount of cynicism. The opening scenes left me staring bitterly at the screen, thinking, “This must be what goes on in your head when you’re stupid.” But I stuck with it, constantly...
Felon is one of those movies I blindly put on hold at the library based on the fact that it was a new release and had a decent cast. As it sat there on my hold list, I had frequent thoughts of cancelling it. Felon… what is that? Why...
I know I said I would watch Viggo Mortensen muck out stalls in my Hidalgo review, but I never quite factored Sandra Bullock into the deal. It’s like being duped by a tricky genie who grants your wish, but throws in a surprise—”Ha-ha! You forgot to say that Sandra...
