D Luc Besson, 1990. Standing at the punch table swallowing punch. Thursday, November 08, 2007. D Luc Besson, 1990. You're always combining two things at once.". Depending upon where you live and how you read the film - is a romantic/relational drama masquerading as a spy thriller. Follow: Say you write a letter to a friend, a friend who just so happens to owe you money. You open with the niceties - how's life? This - could you, if it's at all convenient, send me that twenty bucks I let you. This collisio...

Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. Release Date: 21 Oct., 2003. Review Written: 19 Feb., 2004. Esque It is a pestilence in music; a pandemic that has claimed the oeuvre of many a reviewer as it’s victim. Beatlesesque, Dylanesque, Zeppelinesque, Dexy’s Midnight Runnersesque. The suffix is tired and yet, occasionally, warranted. To put it plainly: everywhere. The harmonies are tight, but still loose enough to feel conceived at the moment of the take. In fact, Mercer’s singing in gen...Poste...

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch. Thursday, September 30, 2004. Directed by Jacques Tati. Certain films have the potential to be ruined if analyzed too closely. Not that they collapse under the magnifying glass, or that there is analyzable material lacking; no, it's that certain films have such charm, such charisma, that to approach from an angle too analytical is to lose sight of the spirit of the film. Jacques Tati's 1967 Playtime. And M Hulot's Holiday. Makes a reappearance in Playtime.

Run, Lola, Run. D Tom Tykwer, 1998. Standing at the punch table swallowing punch. Wednesday, November 21, 2007. Run, Lola, Run. D Tom Tykwer, 1998. This was among the first batch of films I watched when I first started. Posted by Michael K. at 12:59 AM. You know i had just seen Run Lola a few weeks ago and i considered not goin yesterday (also bc id just seen MiVi and No Country 2x on the big screen and wanted to keep them fresh in mind) -. But I thought Lola , for all its silliness, complimented Miami a...

D Charles Chaplin, 1936. Standing at the punch table swallowing punch. Saturday, November 17, 2007. D Charles Chaplin, 1936. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. That saying kept bouncing through my head during the entire screening - the first section of the film is that idea taken to the nth degree. That is, what happens when the world you live in equips you to do one thing? Posted by Michael K. at 11:55 PM. Fave Films (by Year). Fave Films (by Filmmaker). Fave Albums (by Year).

You were so kind. Standing at the punch table swallowing punch. Saturday, January 15, 2005. You were so kind. And you'll still be able to find my dynamic Top Ten of 2004 here. It'll change with my whims. Top Ten Films of the Year. Kill Bill Vol. II. Not as much fun as Vol. I, but still a true hoot. QT, love him or hate him, is a master. The guy has no business being as good as he is. The only relevant criticism is that he has nothing original up his sleeve. But isn't that the point? D David O. Russell.

Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. Release Date: 25 May, 2004. Review Written: 4 Jul., 2004. I’m 20 years old. In roughly a month I will be 21. Those numbers are staring me in the face and saying, Michael, it’s time to grow up. Growing up, or at least growing older, is a fact of life and it has to be dealt with in one way or another. How one deals with growing older correlates directly with one’s growing up. Posted by Michael K. at 5:25 PM. View my complete profile. Music Reviews, A-Z.

Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. Release Date: 6 May., 2003. Review Written: 2 Mar., 2004. It should always be remembered that, without music, a song is merely a poem. And The Decemberists seem to heed this important bit knowledge. The band keeps most of the songs interesting with some extremely fine playing. On the only true up-tempo rocker on the album, July, July! Posted by Michael K. at 5:11 PM. View my complete profile. So Much for the City The Thrills. Music Reviews, A-Z.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Sleeping Is Giving In. Thursday, October 21, 2004. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Release Date: 10 Feb., 1998. Review Written: 24 Feb., 2004. I love to read the reviews on Amazon. The bad reviews, in particular. There can be great enlightenment in looking at the 1-star reviews of Ok Computer, Abbey Road, Pet Sounds, and the like. Do we like this music because it is truly great or do we like it because someone else tells us it is truly great? MR P N ABBEY from the UK. The so...
