“This town needs an enema!” – Jack Nicholson as The Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman If you’re a film geek it’s sometimes tough to sit and watch the machine of moviemaking in Hollywood burp out one lousy film after another. It’s not that we want to complain, but it just begins to slowly disturb you and bring up bad feelings. If you’re on Twitter you may rant and rave, make [read...] 
PSYCHO (1960, Dir: Alfred Hitchcock) When the “Master of Suspense” set out to make this movie it was to be a modest, low budget thriller shot by the crew of his popular TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Psycho was based on the book of the same title by author Robert Bloch (which also [read...] 
I recently watched the remake, or to be more precise the alternate adaptation of the book True Grit is based on directed by The Coen Brothers. I thought the film was well made but at the same time I had my problems with it.

“Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s ANOTHER REBOOT!” Superman: That name brings to mind three things right away usually: the colors red and blue…and the letter S.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen. I am here to day to write to you about a movie that is held very highly among many movie geeks, but for some reason I can’t help but loving the original so much more, especially (but not exclusively) because hardly anyone has ever heard of it. Any movie that has Sean Penn fucking (excuse my French, but this ain’t Disneyland) Jennifer Lopez (back when she [read...] 
I’m a film geek. I’ve been watching them on a regular basis since the early 80s. I’m in my mid 30s now and I still love movies. I love going to the theater and watching films at home (which I do more often these days). DVDs and Blu Rays: Those little discs all the film geeks cherish like so many jewels. Wiping them off like a baby’s bottom when they [read...]
