About Me

I fell in love with the movies while getting over heart surgery; like Hew in How Green Was My Valley, sickness formed my worldview, in a positive way, of course.

Femme fatale

Genius from the moment we see Romijn's naked reflection in the perilous depths of Double Indemnity. Is Femme Fatale illustration of the mise en abyme of De Palma's whole oeuvre?

Killer write-up on 4:44 man!

One wishes Otie would write a McT essay.

Thanks, Neil, glad you liked it! One wishes Jack would write a McT essay. But I'll think about it.

Thanks for the follow man! Always good to see another McTiernan guy (even if I am shamefully behind on officially re-evaluating his work).

Yeah man! I actually slept on McT and only really got into him within the past month. Total revelation.

Thanks for the follow! Dug your write-up on 4:44; it's a movie I'm getting pretty pumped about yet I've actually seen no Ferrara, and this doesn't seem like a great place to enter his work. Do you have any starting recommendations? Thanks!

4:44's a great place to start! Or China Girl, that's his most conventional but it's a masterpiece. I'd start with those and move on to The Addiction, New Rose Hotel, Bad Lieutenant... if you like those, you'll want to see 'em all. Lemme know what you think!

China Girl was great. Thanks for the recommendation! I think I'm going to check out The Addiction next, unless 4:44 opens here sooner than I anticipate...anyway, thanks again!
