Cinematic Blues – July 20, 2010
Posted on July 20, 2010 | 6 CommentsLife is full of unexpected Journeys. Roads we've walked down a hundred times need only look different to us once, and they never look the same again. All three of this week's films show people on paths both familiar and unfamiliar. Let's go for a walk. -
Cinematic Blues – July 13, 2010
Posted on July 13, 2010 | 3 CommentsI have a love/hate relationship with movies that try to play with my head. I love that I can still be affected by a good story, but I hate it when movies try too hard to make a point or get overly clever. Keeping it simple is always best, as we’ll see… -
War Satire Double Feature: A Cinematic Blues Extra
Posted on July 8, 2010 | 8 CommentsI had the good fortune of seeing two films on cable last week that couldn't have been further apart in style, but were completely in-sync on their message. Allow me to share this duet with you... -
Cinematic Blues – July 6, 2010
Posted on July 6, 2010 | 4 CommentsIt's an embarrassment of movie riches this week. Horror! Lots and lots of Horror! Also, a little bit of Horrible. REALLY horrible. Let's go to the videotape: -
Cinematic Blues – 6/29/2010
Posted on June 29, 2010 | 8 CommentsThis week's batch of movies moved me to tears. Of boredom. OMG these films were numb. In lieu of actual reviews, I'm just going to flesh out my notes and post them as-is. -
Cinematic Blues – 6/22/2010
Posted on June 22, 2010 | 5 CommentsIt's long been said that there are only Seven Original Stories, and everything else is a Variation on a Theme. Looking at this week's batch of movies, I was afraid of getting some bad variation. I'm pleased to report that I was two-thirds wrong. Wishing Wells, Relationship Tells, and the Scrum from Hell next... -
Cinematic Blues – 6/15/2010
Posted on June 15, 2010 | 5 CommentsWhat a batch of wildly unexpected viewings I had this week. It was like going to a baseball game and having 2 all-star sluggers eat their own bats, while the just-called-up-from-AAA rookie hits a Grand Slam. I'm as baffled as you are. -
Cinematic Blues – 6/8/2010
Posted on June 8, 2010 | 4 CommentsThree NetFlix movies, sitting here with me...P-L-A-Y-I-N-G...First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Vampires in a Humvee carriage. The Circle of Life. -
Cinematic Blues – 6/1/2010
Posted on June 1, 2010 | 17 CommentsThis week, I take a look at three films that all try to make us take a look at ourselves in one way or another. If you're a giant blue tiger rat, or a stubborn southern belle, or a soldier home from war, there's something for you in this week's Cinematic Blues. -
Cinematic Blues – 5/17/2010
Posted on May 17, 2010 | 6 CommentsThis week I tried something new. No, not that. Pervs. Instead of writing up my weekly Netflix viewings in a notebook, I formatted this post and typed up my thoughts, putting the essays together as the films progressed. After working through some websurfing distractions, it...
