At the movies: Metropolis: The Giorgio Moroder Reconstruction.

You don't often get a chance to write, at length, about the Giorgio Moroder Reconstruction of Metropolis. So when given that chance, I said "Yes, more please..."

Playing two shows only at The Belcourt on Tuesday, the 25th.

Validate My Existence. New York Film Festival '11.

So the Nashville Scene ran my wrap-up of the time I spent at the New York Film Festival in September and October. Here it is. Read it, please...

At the movies: El Bulli - Cooking in Progress.

Initially, the whole idea of molecular gastronomy seemed a bit much for me. But thanks to some patient friends (much respect to Christopher and Beasley for showing me the way) and some amazing photography, I've since developed a sincere appreciation for the art and joyful madness of Ferran Adria and his staff of geniuses. Experience the love/madness for three days only as part of The Belcourt's Doctober.

The Trailer Park Boys are coming to Nashville...

Julian, Ricky, and Bubbles. Coming to Nashville on October the 11th. I wrote a thing about it, wherein I got to interview Ricky. So that's something you should read.

At the movies: Tucker and Dale versus Evil.

Have a beer and give this a read. Then see the film. I would be there if I could...

At the movies: Hadewijch (Take 2)

So back in the long, long ago, when I still wrote for The Tennessean but was stuck in online Siberia, I decided to try and through some love to afilm that wasn't going to show in town. As Bruno Dumont's Hadewijch wasa entering its last week as part of IFC Films' On Demand/In Theatres program, I had to act fast. SO I did a full-on piece on the film in order to convince people to experience. I got some shit about it, but I still feel it was the right thing to have done. And now, months and months later, Hadewijch is going to be showing in Nashville thanks to Sarratt.

I am ecstatic. Ecstatic enough to have written a different review of the film. You can read it here...

At the movies: Stalker.

I got to write about Tarkovsky's masterpiece Stalker for the Scene this week, which is an honor. And I didn't even get to the tracking shot of human folly, spanning the riverbed where money, weapons, and religious iconography lie, useless, forever.
