About Me

I’m a professional bureaucrat and film geek, trying to catch up on a list of movies that I want to see that grows faster than I can see them. I am currently working on list entitled “The Best Films Ever Made as of the Year 2034.”

I have never seen a film by Ernst Lubitsch. I have never seen a film by Robert Bresson or Robert(o) Rossellini. I first saw Amacord on 16-JUN-2010.


Paddy Chayefsky

It is an untrue rumour that upon my death I plan to have my head frozen until a robot body can be built for it. It is also untrue that I infiltrated a stamp collecting club in North Dakota on behalf of the Bush administration. I do not have a Ph.D. in Cryptozoology.

I really wanted to like this, but I just didn't. I felt like it didn't have much to say. Also l think Maggie Cheung's character (brilliant as her performance was) got off too easy.

Damsels in Distress

There are certain people that are befuddled by Whit Stillman films. Viewers that like realism in their movies will be disappointed because his films are not about realistic interactions; they are fairy…  read review

Match Point

When a Director is around long enough they have a chance to remake their own films. Ozu remake “A Story of Floating Weeds” (1934) as “Floating Weeds” (1959). Hitchcock did it with “The Man who knew…  read review

Goodbye, Dragon Inn

Goodbye, Dragon Inn

I’m not sure if Goodbye, Dragon Inn is a juvenile “arty” film with nothing to say, or a sublime meditation on the impossibility of communicating other than through shred cinematic experiences.  read review

What a Mess. I like Jean-Luc Goddard and I like Woody Allen, but “Meetin’ WA” is a video film gone wrong. Goddard made it after he had already determined to drop any pretence of a narrative in cinema…  read review
