Make Out gets "Best of the Decade" cred from Cinematical

My favorite movie blog, Cinematical, has named Make Out With Violence as one of the best Indie films of the ENTIRE decade! And there's only ten films, total, on that list, and seeing as how it encompasses ten years (or, I guess, nine really), I would say that's a pretty big compliment. Want to see the article? Check it out here. And you can also see my interview with the Deagol Brothers, the creator's of Make Out below -

Spout.com interview - Kelly Reichardt

Karina Longworth, formerly of Cinematical, now writes for Spout.com, and recently interviewed Kelly Reichardt, the auteur of such films as Old Joy, and the all new Wendy and Lucy, starring Michelle Williams as a broke twenty something, trying to make her way to Alaska to work in the lucrative cannery's. It's a great read. I really enjoyed Old Joy and have River of Grass on my Netflix queue (now that its on DVD).

Getting over one hump just means there's a downhill before the next climb.

I know what you're thinking - "He's done. He's not keeping up with the blog anymore."

No, just been REALLY busy with the AFS stuff. Sent off my "rough draft" yesterday to Bryan Poyser @ AFS, to look over. So, for the next couple of days, I get top play catch up with all of the things that I didn't get to do because I was working on the grant application (which includes blogging some older movie reviews I wanted to do, but didn't have the time for).

Also, you'll notice in the bottom left corner of the screen, I am now on Twitter, so you can follow my progress on my films, and in my life (though my life is relatively average, so, don't be complaining when there's posts like - "Eating" or "Working").

Anyways, going to see the new Indiana Jones movie later this afternoon. I'll write a review as soon as I get home. Kind of sucks, though. I wish I got to go to early press screenings like a professional blogger, so I could have my review up before the movie comes out. Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky one day, and Cinematical will call me up and hire me... (that's a hint, in case anyone from Cinematical happens to be reading this).

Slight Re-Tooling

Originally I started this blog as a way to comment on ALL of the films I watch, as well as keep anyone interested in the know about what is going on with my films. Unfortunately, I haven't been doing to great of a job on keeping up with the reviews. I am going to continue to do them, but I'm not going to do everything, because it's just to time consuming, and there are a lot of other people that you could read that review movies using much better grammar, and are more intelligent. Cinematical is one of my favorites, and you can find the link at the side of the page.

So, that's it.
