Juno, I have lost my fangs

Feb 19 2008

I loved this film – it has that indie aura surrounding it with the shtick and the spiel, but through its lack of weirdness it has astoundingly broken into the mainstream and become a great hit. Kimya Dawson, The Moldy Peaches and Antsy Pants also make for a stellar soundtrack. A must see.

Oceans Thirteen

Jun 17 2007


A far superior film to the abhorrent Ocean’s twelve, far far better, and actually enjoyable. By no means perfect, but enjoyable, which is more than I can say for that torrid affair in Europe. The average scene length is longer than 30 seconds, there is a storyline, each person actually has a role in the team, there’s no Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones, there’s much less impossible technology and as an added bonus, we get Al Pacino and a big-nosed Matt Damon.

This is England

Incredible, incredible film with a stunning score by the ever-great Einaudi. I highly recommend this.
