Where you can find me

It has been quite some time since I posted on here (only a few months short of a year), and, while I'm not even sure if anyone actually reads this site anymore, I just wanted to let you know that I am now keeping track of my movie watching on Letterboxd. You can find my profile here. I am, also, still blogging, and you can find my tumblr here. I might continue to update this blog, as I see fit, and will definitely keep it up for the time being.

Cheers!

Steve McQueen dialogue with Stuart Comer

 A great, and lengthy, discussion with Steve McQueen about his body of work up to 12 Years A Slave.

The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford

5 out of 5 Stars

I've seen this before, several times, on DVD and Blu-Ray, but I got a chance to go to a special screening of the film with director Andrew Dominik and Cinematographer Roger Deakins in attendance. They had a fantastic Q&A after the film. This movie is absolutely amazing. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Robocop (2014)

2.5 out of 5 stars.

I'm not against a well made remake, and this one has some great bells and whistles, but it ultimately falls short. The original is still as valid and groundbreaking today as it was almost thirty years ago. This one just feels like a slick, and somewhat forgettable, sci-fi movie.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

2 out of 5 stars

This film had some good action sequences, but the rest of it felt like Branagh was trying to make some penultimate MOVIE, which kind of made everything feel really cliche.

Stewart Schuster's "Alivia"

I realized, looking over the blog, that I never posted my own film! We shot this February of 2013, in Seattle, but because of work, a move, and various complications, it wasn't completed until June of 2013. I'm very happy with how it came out, and it has amassed over two thousand views on Vimeo alone (with very little publicity).
