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... -
Cinematic Blues – 4/20/2010
Posted on April 20, 2010 | 8 CommentsAnother mixed bag from Netflix this week. I’d shuffle my queue, but I like the variety and don’t want to front load too many movies I know I’d like just for the sake of this column. At any rate, the Trifecta this week was all... -
Cinematic Blues – 4/12/2010
Posted on April 13, 2010 | 7 CommentsI’ve said before that I don’t get to the movie theater that often, opting to watch most films on DVD or Blu-Ray. So, I see movies late. Recently, Netflix began delaying the rental of Warner Brothers films to its customers for 1 month post-release in... -
Cinematic Blues – 4/5/2010
Posted on April 6, 2010 | 14 CommentsOh, Netflix…you sent me some real stinkers this week. Why? Was it because I left my socks on the floor again? Drank from the carton? Fell asleep before you were done? Tell me, so I never have to sit through a set of movies like...
