Fade In: The Hurt Locker
http://pknail.blogspot.com/2009/07/hurt-locker.html
Friday, July 10, 2009. Movies as Point Break. And the vampire western Near Dark. A really incredible movie, and one that I think will survive the onslaught of award-bait fall pictures to be on a lot of top ten lists this year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tangled Up In Blue. Ain't It Cool News. I'm a writer and film enthusiast living in New York. I have Southern roots and grew up in the 1980s, so make of that what you will. View my complete profile.

Fade In: July 2009
http://pknail.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 10, 2009. Wonderful meat-and-potatoes Michael Mann, along the lines of his amazing and underrated Heat. Johnny Depp is great, as always, and I'm falling harder for Marion Cotillard every time I see her. But, while I found their courtship charming, I was even more impressed with them when they were on their own than when they shared the screen. Except for the love scene. It's been a while - I guess since Chocolat. A little film by Sam Mendes (of American Beauty. Fans of The Office. Will adore...

Fade In: December 2007
http://pknail.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 23, 2007. When a movie is this hyped for this long, and for well after people have begun to see it, there's a reason for it. I was quite displeased with much of Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice. So I was wary going into this. But Atonement. Is a really gorgeous and intricate piece of art, an intimate epic, and a compelling mystery. But there are still obviously unwritten rules about the fraternization of one class with another. The film's conclusion is a complicated one. I can't quit...

Fade In: Final Girl Film Club - Grindhouse
http://pknail.blogspot.com/2009/01/final-girl-film-club-grindhouse.html
Wednesday, January 07, 2009. Final Girl Film Club - Grindhouse. I've written about Grindhouse. And I have kind of a dumb thing about revisiting movies (which I should really stop, because anything worth writing about is worth writing about more than once). But these two films are this month's selection for the Final Girl Film Club, so I'm revisiting them. A device that will allow you to play one of their "Watch Instantly" selections on something bigger than your computer screen. THIS IS MY MECCA! Those a...

Fade In: March 2008
http://pknail.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 29, 2008. Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Several people in Nashville, where I live, have been trying to grow a real cinema culture in our town for several years. There have been lots of unique screenings at our local art house theater, and today's was perhaps the most unusual film that I've ever seen in a theater in Nashville - a rare slice of Czechoslovakia's short-lived "new wave" called Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. And One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. S director Jaromil Jireš, st...

Fade In: Countdown to Election '08 - Advise and Consent
http://pknail.blogspot.com/2008/10/countdown-to-election-08-advise-and.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. Countdown to Election '08 - Advise and Consent. As we begin this last full week of what Jon Stewart has called the "Long, Flat Seemingly Endless Bataan Death March to the White House," we're going to look today at a film that was made 46 years ago, but which feels very familiar in our current political climate. Advise and Consent. Is possibly the best political movie ever made, in that it deals specifically with. And The Man With the Golden Arm. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Fade In: Brüno
http://pknail.blogspot.com/2009/07/bruno.html
Friday, July 10, 2009. Hilarious a lot of the time, but not all of the time, it follows pretty much the exact same "weirdo on a journey" plot as Borat. If you liked Borat. Sexual practices. In fact, I'm rather surprised that it got an R rating. That naked wrestling match in Borat. Is NOTHING to some of the shocks in this film. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tangled Up In Blue.
