Fool's Views (1/16 – 1/31)

Just... give me a second.

Wow. So far behind. But I’m here now!

I spent the latter half of January whittling through the stacks of DVDs and Blu-rays that had been covering my desk for months, especially with the Oscar-nominated fare off my plate, including hosting a little Angel-ic marathon as we crossed the halfway point. (And then, of course, I got preoccupied with doing non-movie stuff like getting my Box N Burn certification and so was spending less time on the couch or at the keyboard.) As a result, there were a lot of titles consumed and, considering the late hour, I’m going to keep the preamble short and the reviews shorter in order to get back to even keel. Hold on, folks. Here we go!

As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.

Enjoy!

Fool's Views (7/25 – 7/31)

Heh heh. Got 'em in on time again. Color me stunned.

July closed out with a wave of 80s Cronenberg, a month after revisting his 70s oeuvre, as well as wacky Japanese sci-fi, low-tech zombie fare, and a ton of expiring civilian Netflix streaming options. (Fair warning: having finished his film journals, you can expect to see a spike in Cheston viewings in future FV installments.) But most notably, I was obliged to drag out my copy of Return of the Fly in order to debate its debatable merits with the estimable Jon Kitley. Nothing like a good ol’ fashioned clash of the geeks to get your blood up.

As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.

Enjoy!
