I’ve been ignoring you. The time I should have been blogging here I spent instead reading a great, long piece on Speed Racer by Dennis “the voice of film geek generation” Cozzalio, reading the forty comments that it generated, and then making it forty one. And tonight’s a Premium Hollywood blogging night for me.

So, here, have an old Bullz-Eye DVD Review of Wristcutters: A Love Story. And here’s my somewhat contrarian takes on Herzog’s epic Fitzcarraldo and the late film noir/early hitman cult fave, Blast of Silence.

And here’s a nice capsule blog review that Shakespeare fans will want to read, seeing as its a little known 1970 TV production of Twelfth Night with Joan Plowright, Alec Guinness, Ralph Richardson…and Tommy Steele.

And, keeping up with the Wristcutters suicide theme, I’ve got another short review of a much less jaunty take on the subject — a great, incredibly and poetically sad, perfect little known early Louis Malle film, The Fire Within that Criterion just put out. Easily the most real film I’ve seen dealing with depression that was a strongly cathartic experience for me, I think. That one’s sticking with me.
