The Outwaters and writer/director/star Robbie Banfitch.

 

I got to talk to Robbie Banfitch about his new film The Outwaters, which I find fucking awesome. Your mileage may vary, but this film is something special.

At the movies: One Cut of The Dead.

An utter delight for fans of horror, comedy, the theatre, Japanese cinema, Noises Off, or families working together in weird situations. I would genuinely recommend this to my Mom. Also, shame on what Fear The The Walking Dead did to Kim Dickens (the actress, not the character). And you should read This Book Is Full Of Spiders.

At the movies: The Gallows.

I talk a lot about movies. Often I write that way as well. So occasionally, I like to try and Dogme things up a bit, and use an exacting word count to try and distill my thoughts on a film to the bone. So for this particular film, my editor and I agreed on 100 words. What do you think?

At the movies: January catch-up.

A fun romp through several of January's weirder releases. It's a pity that I didn't think to wait an extra week on this so I could have included I, Frankenstein. Oh well...

Famous People Talked to Me: Roxanne Benjamin.

In honor of V/H/S making its Nashville premiere at this year's Nashville Film Festival, I got to talk with producing phenom/former co-worker/Renaissance woman Roxanne Benjamin. Have a look, won't you?

At the movies: Project Nim & Apollo 18

Here's a fun twofer of a rather disparate pair of films currently showing in Nastyville.
