Attic of the Addict. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Getting Paid to Ride. Shannon, who gave one of last year's best performances in Take Shelter. He then proceeds to beat the man, and later learns he killed him. His response to that is utterly hilarious in its comic timing and dead-pan tone: "He didn't even make it to the hospital," somebody tells him, "Hmm. I'll make amends" he replies. Why is it so important? If you're looking for profundity or some kind of grandiose statement about the human condition, ...

Attic of the Addict: Seven Psychopaths
http://atticofthefilmaddict.blogspot.com/2013/01/seven-psychopaths.html
Attic of the Addict. Saturday, January 26, 2013. Guns, Dogs, and White Rabbits. I am curious what Martin McDonagh's fascination with white bunnies is. I've seen three of his films; his fantastic Oscar-nominated In Bruges. His Oscar-winning short Six Shooter. And now Seven Psychopaths. Two of them contain white rabbits in a more than arbitrary way, and both depict the rabbits in scenes of occurring or impending violence. Anyway, I digress and simply note it as a curious visual. McDonagh has a knack for cr...

The Kitchen Couch Potato. Cooking my way through my favourite shows. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. The Following: Serial Killer Shocker. Was definitely one of the most talked about pilots of the 2012-2013.and the fact that it was held back until mid-season only increased the anticipation. I probably could have got my hands on a copy before it aired, but I was itching for a pure TV experience and I waited until it officially debuted. The series is centered on former FBI agent, Ryan Hardy ( Kevin Bacon. Yes t...

The Kitchen Couch Potato. Cooking my way through my favourite shows. Monday, March 19, 2012. From Book To Film: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I really think this is one of those films that plays a LOT better if you haven't read the book. It's much harder to appreciate if you fell in love with the novel, because the movie is so one-sided in comparison. Posted by Jennifer Bragg. Links to this post. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

The Kitchen Couch Potato. Cooking my way through my favourite shows. Sunday, September 30, 2012. The Mob Doctor: Between Two Worlds. Mondays at 9pm on Fox (U.S.). Sundays at 9pm on CTV (Canada). I really wasn’t expecting a lot from this series. After watching the preview trailers this spring, this one just wasn’t on my radar at all. So it really took me by surprise just how much I loved the first two episodes! Grace is a fantastic character and Jordana Spiro. Who isn’t impressed with her inclinatio...

The Kitchen Couch Potato. Cooking my way through my favourite shows. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Hot Docs 2013: The Manor. Does he want to be with his family? What is he doing with his life? And what does this family say about our world? Has anyone learned anything or changed their lives? I don’t need all of my stories to be tied up in a pretty bow, but I need to feel like they are trying to make a point. I didn’t get that with The Manor. At the end of the film everyone was in exactly the same place they wer...
