Spin The Wheel: Obsession
http://spinthewheelreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/obsession.html
The Wheel knows all. Monday, January 11, 2010. Obsessives are great subjects for movies. They provide a single minded focus that cuts through all the nonsense and helps to provide a powerful driving force to the storyline. Today the wheel and I briefly discuss three films exploring the worlds of the compulsive, the obsessive and the slightly. Touched. First up, Fantastic Mr. Fox,. After the fluid masterpieces from Pixar. The stilted, herky. When it comes to feats of derring. Do, I much preferred Le Trou.

Spin The Wheel: None More Black
http://spinthewheelreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/none-more-black.html
The Wheel knows all. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Is easily one of the grimmest, roughest moviegoing. Experiences I have ever had. I can only assume the same can be said for Mothra. Who joined me a the local theatre for this gutwrenching. Tale of fatherly love in a post apocalyptic hellscape. Having read the stunning novel, I at least knew what I was getting into but it still didn't dull the impact of this dark, dark tale. It's an absolutely amazing story and the movie does justice to Cormac. I just don't ...

There'll be days like this. The children are short, the days are long. Sunday, April 11, 2010. The whole tooth and nothing but the tooth. Sebastian lost his 6th tooth on Friday. He still hadn't left the 5th one he lost months ago for the tooth fairy yet, deciding instead to keep one for himself. Now he had 2 teeth in two of the little tooth necklaces that come from school when your mouth starts falling apart there. Cue anxious whispering by his parents: . Do you have $2? Shit Now what? 160;She certai...

Spin The Wheel: It's Hard To Find a Friend
http://spinthewheelreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-hard-to-find-friend.html
The Wheel knows all. Sunday, January 10, 2010. It's Hard To Find a Friend. It's tough enough to duke it out in middle school when you're simply dealing with the typical adolescent bullshit, I can't imagine the added difficulties Vampirism. Must bring about. The main boy in Let the Right One In. Is sensitive, poorly coiffed and ghostly pale so you know he's got it rough but he soon meets a girl who lives in his building who is having a rougher go of it. Not only is she home schooled. But I disagree comple...

Spin The Wheel: The Limits of the Viewer's Patience
http://spinthewheelreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/limits-of-viewers-patience.html
The Wheel knows all. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. The Limits of the Viewer's Patience. Never met an actionless. Scene he didn't like and his latest film, The Limits of Control. Is chock full of them. His movies are typically slow with lots of dead air and this is no exception. It's rare that I see a movie and have no clue what it was about but this time I was left completely stumped without even a guess as to the overall theme. Like Vincent Gallo's infamous film The Brown Bunny. It was Jim Jarmusch's.

The Wheel knows all. Monday, January 25, 2010. Little Boys Will Be Little Boys. Sports fanatics can be both the most inclusive and exclusive people in the world. Usually at the same time. "You like the Vikings too? Come in, brother." "Oh, you're a Packers fan? Why don't you go to hell you pus-filled corpse! Does a lovely job in this film of showing the disturbing end results such mindless sports fanaticism can lead to. Crowd and I wasn't buying it. As a sports fan myself (Go Red Sox. So I give it a 6.

There'll Be Days Like This: October 2009
http://marmoset-marmoset.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
There'll be days like this. The children are short, the days are long. Saturday, October 31, 2009. For the third time in my life. This morning I was, yet again, obliged to pronounce that "there is no use crying over spilt milk" when Dorian was covered in spilt milk from his cereal bowl and was, of course, crying. Labels: raising little rascals. Thursday, October 29, 2009. That Christian Bale sure can act. I defy you to find a better Wolfman. See for yourself. Monday, October 26, 2009. It was truly boring...

Spin The Wheel: No New Jerks
http://spinthewheelreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/no-new-jerks.html
The Wheel knows all. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. It out in dingy clubs and deconstructing. Music was fascinating and leaves no question as to why commercial success was not in their future. Bands like Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Gogol Bordello? They have nothing to do with each other. The only possible link is Sonic Youth who bridge the gap between the two but don't fall squarely in either camp. Yeah, it was a bit weird. What was the point of this movie? I was impressed by how fun Glenn Branca. From the ...

There'll be days like this. The children are short, the days are long. Sunday, February 28, 2010. I know I don't go to a lot of parties. But I must say that the discovery of a fresh human shit on the floor is one way to really liven a birthday party up. Hand washings all around! Labels: barely controlled chaos. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Be careful what you wish for. And then this week, it snowed some more. Lousy winter. You done me wrong this year. Labels: boo to that. Monday, February 22, 2010.
