Uh-oh part 2

It happened again. Oh dear.

The Stanton Family Grave Robbery

This is a really really small comedy that is very charming and cleverly written. Maybe I feel an affinity for it because it has a similar budget to our movie, or maybe it's just very likable. Not everything is perfect, there are definitely awkward points, but as a whole it's a nice little picture.

Check it out if it's ever playing at a festival near you.

Max Payne review

If you love people shooting things in slow motion, no blood, and every action movie cliche ever created then you'll love Max Payne. If you like good movies you'll hate it.

W.

I just saw Oliver Stone's W. I've been very curious about this movie and have been anticipating it with a mix of dread and doubt. I just couldn't see how a good movie could be made about an event so current that there coulndt possibly be enough information known to make the film accurate.In the decades to come we are going to learn all the terrible shit that this awful Presidency has done. Stone doesn't strive for accuracy. That's never been his bag.

Well I didn't hate it. I didn't really feel anything. All of the actors turn in great performances, especially an almost unrecognizeable Richard Dryfuss. He should get a best supporting actor nod come oscar time.

I would say that the most enjoyable and most insightful element is the relationship between George Sr and Jr.

This is all so fresh in my mind. As I write this James Cromwell is giving a Q and A.

My favorite thing about it is that they don't paint Bush as an evil person. Josh Brolin plays him as a charming oaf who just simply not fit to be a president. He is controlled by people who are far smarter and greedier than himself. I don't think Bush is evil. I think he's a terrible president.

Go see W. Make up your own mind. I have a feeling that it will fade from memory in the next ten years or so, a historical relic that is neither great nor terrible.

Erock out

uh-oh

I've just arrived in Austin when I received this picture from Jessica of my dog with the outside of his bowl stuck around his head. I'm gone for a few hours and everything at home is falling apart. Sigh.

Uh oh

The 2008 Austin Film Festival

Hello friend-o's. 
Most of you know that my partners in crime (the infamous Ryan Martin, the devilish Adam Deyoe) and myself are going to this years Austin Film Festival to unleash our newest monstrosity onto the world: Psycho Sleepover. 

I plan on doing drunken updates as frequently as possible about the movies I've seen, the people I've met, the bbq we eat, etc. 

I have to get back on this blog-horse and ride it into the sunset, all the way to the Lonestar state.
