• 25 Rififi in Paris Review

  Watching this in the dubbed format was like slow torture. The plot was rather complicated to follow and I am not sure how much too blame on the language problem. What I was able to follow was resolutely bad.

• 23 James M Cain's Serenade, A Review

  Interestingly, it is usually his women who are tough, manipulative, and full of lust for crime. The men tend to be suckered in by their seductive charms.

• 21 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Review

• 18 Shaun of the Dead Review

  Shaun of the Dead is a fine movie. It spoofs a genre of film that is dear to my heart, yet remains firmly a fan of the genre. It references so many of the classics and non classics of the genre that you'll need encyclopedic knowledge of zombies to catch them all.

• 17 Meditations on the Grateful Dead circa 10/09/77

  I, wearing my headset at full volume, tense up as if a bomb has been dropped. I begin to open my mouth half expecting to sing a long with the next verse or the chorus.
