- do a split
Taking a break from all the gratuitous wedding blogging, we return to one of my favorite characters - Jean Claude Van Damme. It was his birthday yesterday and Grady Hendrix at Slate did God’s work for the day and put together a retrospective of Van Dammage. A few choice cuts:
You’d think [Cyborg] was the perfect […]
- dead spouse movies
Mary Milan and I saw Michael Clayton over the weekend. Though it seems all important and socially conscious, it’s basically an adaptation of a John Grisham novel. It’s got all the elements: a haggard lawyer who finds his conscience, starched white shirts and running. That’s not to say it’s not good because […]
- big ass theater news
Yeah, yeah, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of King Lear with Sir Ian McKellan will be making one of its three U.S. stops in Los Angeles but the real, big, ass theatre news in our fair town is that Point Break LIVE! will open on October 12th for Friday and Saturday shows at 8:00 pm.

- I used to be somebody else but I traded myself in…
Ingmar Bergman, Bill Walsh and Michelangelo Antonioni all pass on the same day.
Jeez. I don’t have a lot to say. The Trilogy with Monica Vitti was a revelation; Blow Up is one of the best films ever made; The last shot in Zabriskie Point and the shot where everybody disappears in Red […]
- the day the music died
Live Free or Die Hard was good, fun, probably the best Die Hard you could hope for in this age of steroids and huge, over-the-top action movies. It’s likely why mine - much more a throwback to the first - could never be made.
This week brings us Transformers. I thought about going to the preview […]
