The Night of the Flesh Eaters - (R)
30 October 2008It’s tough to turn an ultra low budget film which is unpolished by nature, into such an amusing and well-crafted tale.
Polvo with Birds of Avalon and New Radiant Storm King - The Middle East (Cambridge, MA) - Friday, June 20, 2008
6 July 2008Polvo shake off the dust and return to form.
The Savages (R)
26 March 2008One of the best films of 2007 is an underrated gem called The Savages.
The Go! Team with Matt and Kim - The Paradise (Boston) - Thursday, October 25, 2007
22 November 2007The Go! Team bury the fun-meter needle into the red
CONTROL 2007 - (R)
15 November 2007Control is one of the year’s best films and I wouldn’t be surprised if a whole new generation of Joy Division fans were born in the same way new Dylan fans popped up after Don’t Look Back, or the fresh crop of Beatles fans who emerged post-Hard Days Night.
Philadelphia Film Festival 2007 (part 2)
12 April 2007If Henry Fool sounds far-fetched, it’s absolutely nothing compared to its sequel.
Thom Yorke - The Eraser (XL)
13 July 2006THOM YORKE makes waves of his own while fending off others. The title track deals with obliterating “truths,” perhaps the ones we find the most painful to bear—such as why we are involved in the war in Iraq.
Transamerica (R)
24 February 2006Translating Transamerica: It is by no means a film which espouses the angular issues of gender politics.
Broken Flowers: Music from the Film [Original Soundtrack] (Decca)
12 January 2006As a whole, the lyrics, different genres, instruments, and time periods of the soundtrack are brilliantly fused; I even would venture to suggest that the film could be viewed as a music video for the soundtrack!
