Bitter Macgregor and the Plow: December 2008
http://bitterandtheplow.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Bitter Macgregor and the Plow. A blog by two guys who love rambling on about movies. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. A classic example of what happened to a Hitchcock. Film when it wasn't made by Hitchcock. Shot in 1963, four years after Cary Grant's turn with Eva Marie Sai. In North by Northwest. Which brings up Audrey Hepburn. Like I said not a bad film but one that you may in the end wonder why you endured for so long or why you were never quite pushed to the point of pulling the trigger on it. I do not k...

Bitter Macgregor and the Plow: The Machinist
http://bitterandtheplow.blogspot.com/2008/11/blog-post.html
Bitter Macgregor and the Plow. A blog by two guys who love rambling on about movies. Saturday, November 15, 2008. When I describe this film to people I use the word clever. It is not a word that I use often to describe what I observe in life, especially not movies. Clever is the perfect word slicing through the mind like a laser. I have been a big fan of Brad Anderson since I saw Next Stop Wonderland. Here’s a movie fun fact. Did you know the Machinist was filmed entirely outside Barcelona (that’s ...

Bitter Macgregor and the Plow: Casino Royale
http://bitterandtheplow.blogspot.com/2008/11/casino-royale.html
Bitter Macgregor and the Plow. A blog by two guys who love rambling on about movies. Sunday, November 16, 2008. I loved the simple visceral violence and on the spot ingenuity that this bigger than life spy brings to the game. Not a great film but one of my favorites for it's return to the old days of action cinema. Stuntmen and pyrotechnics were the order of the day and CGI was virtually nonexistent as far as I could tell. Don’t feel ashamed if you have the sudden urge to rub one out with your grea...

Bitter Macgregor and the Plow. A blog by two guys who love rambling on about movies. Sunday, January 11, 2009. Let me start by saying, The Plow you owe me $24. The breakdown goes like this; $2 for the rental of this tepid piece of refuse, $2 for the late fee on The Ice Rink. Let me now break down this fiasco. The meal of light romantic comedic fare starts with the first course in the form of our lead (Rick) being introduced by none other than Rutger Hauer. McAllister). Hauer is someone whose career h...

Bitter Macgregor and the Plow: American Hardcore
http://bitterandtheplow.blogspot.com/2008/11/american-hardcore.html
Bitter Macgregor and the Plow. A blog by two guys who love rambling on about movies. Thursday, November 13, 2008. I first saw a sticker on a light pole on Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg and I thought, "They made a documentary of the '80's hardcore punk scene? The film lays out the general movement and all of it branches in a concise easy to follow pattern so that even the casual viewer can get a handle on the vast array of scenes that were created out of raw energy fueled by anger and a desire to create.
