Being at home recovering from the flu was just right for Perfect Days, which is a fine film of the "Like Watching Paint Dry" genre. Which is to say, most movie watchers won't get into it at all. But...

Just noticed that the recut version of Caligula (supposedly more faithful to Gore Vidal's original vision, and reconstructed in various ways, including removing the various blowjob closeup scenes...

Funny, I'd seen it before and loved it; this time I guess I took all the vivid scenery more for granted and noticed the not great story a bit more.


I've seen it; good movie.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood; took me a while to get around to it, but now definitely one of my favorite Tarantino films.
And Tarsam Singh's messy but visually remarkable The Fall (one of the main...

Cool, maybe sometime. I'm going to need a bit of a palate cleanser from sick puppy animation for now (I'm in the middle of The Fall Guy, which is a hoot, aside from the silly plot; somehow it's my...

Just watched Junk Head; that was awesomely weird!

Saw recently on Kanopy:

KURT VONNEGUT - UNSTUCK IN TIME: Recommended for Vonnegut fans. The docu ends up being not just about Vonnegut, but the director's (Bob Weide, better known for Curb Your...

On-Gaku rocked!! Trippy animation to accompany the music, and off-the-wall laughs in between the tunes.

Thanks for the rec! That was definitely something different, and I liked the character-background structure of the film. Watching that reminded me of how disappointing it is that the indie studio...

You haven't seen THE ROOM? You're tearing me apart, Dookey!



Indeed, it might not. The Room is more a slow-burn WTF than a dynamically bad movie; its genre, after all, is Soap Opera. It's a...

I was scanning the Newly Added Movies list on Kanopy, and saw, wait really???, DANGEROUS MEN. Wow, if you like bad movies you're in for a treat. Here's my review, recycled from years ago:


I had...

I saw Under The Silver Lake a while ago. It's worthwhile as a style-over-substance spin on Mullholland Drive. But damn, when a film invites comparison to Mullholland, it's kind of condemned to...

Yes! Definitely not for everybody, but I loved it. If one insists on imposing reality on that movie, my take (SPOILERS I guess) is that the Paul Dano character was a messed up dude who liked to...

I liked it; first animated feature film ever!

I watched Orson Welles' The Trial on Kanopy. Thumbs up for style (and recommended for fans of how Welles can put together a scene), thumbs down for substance; more of a strange nightmare than a...

I just saw this one's on Hoopla, Kanopy's cousin in the library-affiliated streaming service biz:

The anime changing climate teen love story Weathering With You. I liked it. I found it quite...

I should mention Kanopy's funkier cousin, HooplaDigital.com. Similar deal, if the library system that you're a member of subscribes, they pay Hoopla per movie view (Hoopla also rents music CDs, a...

Kanopy.com. Their model is that public library systems sign up to allow their members to use Kanopy as a sort-of Netflix, and libraries pay content publishers for each video watched. You need to be a...
