What I love about Stranger Things…

If you like the kinds of books I do and you haven't been watching Stranger Things on Netflix, get thee to a television. This series constantly references Stephen King's books plus tons of great movies by John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, and others we remember from the '80s. And it has Winona Ryder! She is the '80s for … Continue reading What I love about Stranger Things…

In which I critique American Beauty fifteen years too late…

I remember when I used to love to go to the movies. I went almost every weekend, because I could find a movie I wanted to see every weekend. I was often surprised by something entirely new: Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, American Beauty. It seems those days are passed. I can no longer get to … Continue reading In which I critique American Beauty fifteen years too late…

Hitchcock’s Marnie…

I watched Marnie last night for the first time. I thought it was a good movie, although probably not destined to become one of my favorites. The acting was impeccable, Sean Connery was incredibly easy on the eyes, and I enjoyed the self-conscious artificiality of the world Hitchcock created, especially his use of color. I have … Continue reading Hitchcock’s Marnie…

Room 237…

I watched Room 237 last night on Netflix instant streaming and highly recommend it. It is a documentary that presents several theories on what is really going on in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. But wait! It is so much more than a geek-out about The Shining. (Although, to be fair, the film will be more enjoyable if you've seen The Shining, and … Continue reading Room 237…

A present-day dystopia…

We just finished watching the first two seasons of Luther on Netflix Instant Streaming. It is a crime series starring Idris Elba, and it can be very disturbing. One thing I like about it is that even though it is set in present-day London, it has a pronounced dystopian flavor. I was trying to come up … Continue reading A present-day dystopia…
