About Me

I share a birthday w/ Michelangelo Antonioni & take that as a good sign.

I play with my blog, here: Retro Active Critiques
And with videos, here: http://www.youtube.com/user/klaratava

I’ve written several feature-length screenplays and adore post-production/editing.

Here I am as Grace Kelly in ‘Rear Window’, Halloween ’09

The Boy Friend

"The Boy Friend" will always be my favorite Russell film, in fact, it's one of my all time favorite films. It has an extraordinary level of genius that's always been overlooked and misunderstood. You have to look at what's actually going on in this creation, there are so many layers to it, unlike any film I've seen. It's a mind trip – a good one.

Thanks, Klara! I was getting totally annoyed with all the thoughtless articles about Salinger's death proclaiming that the man disliked movies so I just had to respond. I usually hate writing when I'm really frustrated but I couldn't help myself.

Paris - When It Sizzles

Paris - When It Sizzles

This is definitely not a ‘good’ movie; it doesn’t carry much weight on any level. But it’s a fluffy confection if you happen to feel like a bit of (silly) escapism. The most awkward part of the film…  read review

Apollo 13

My father was literally a rocket scientist who helped build the first Apollo space shuttle. So anything to do with NASA interests me. What I love about this film (apart from my fascination with 60’s…  read review

All the President's Men

Excellent. A determined and steady drive toward justice is always compelling in a drama. This one has the punch I also liked so much in “Frost/Nixon”. I always recall “All the President’s Men” as having…  read review
