Fight Club
via imdb.com TYLER You were looking for a way to change your life. You could not do this on your own. All the ways you wished you could be…that’s me! I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I’m smart, capable and most importantly, I’m free in all the ways that
The Unbreakable Dark Knight Double Feature
I have the house all to myself for the next couple of days, and a rainy Sunday is the perfect time for a double-feature of the best “superhero” / “comic book” movies ever: Unbreakable and The Dark Knight. The former is highly underrated (and still holds up), the latter justifiably lauded; both are the best
Where the Wild Things Are – New [HD] Trailer
via youtube.com If this is half as good as the trailer makes it seem like it could be, I’m going to love this movie. The music is absolutely perfect. Fingers crossed…
Christopher Nolan’s Joker Problem
No matter who wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor three weeks from now, Christopher Nolan has a serious dilemma in front of him as he decides where to go with his inevitable third installment in the juggernaut Batman franchise. To Joker, or Not To Joker? Even if he hadn’t received a single award nomination
Random Reviews: Inkheart, Wanted, Chalk
We’ve been having a lot of Blockbuster nights since we bought the house last summer, while managing to catch whatever kid-friendly movies worth seeing in theaters whenever possible, and I’ve been reviewing a lot of them on Flixster but wanted to round up the most recent batch and post them here, including expanded commentary on
How Wonderful Is It?
Back in 1996, when I was publishing my short-lived zine, zuzu’s petals — which, in a wonderful bit of circularity, played a significant role in my getting married! — I wrote a pretty cynical essay about why I loved It’s A Wonderful Life, not so much for its purportedly uplifting message, but rather for its “unintentionally subversive message”.

I skipped The Incredible Hulk in theaters because I was fully expecting to be disappointed, but my son really wanted to see it and Iron Man was unexpectedly good, so we picked up the DVD and I was pleasantly surprised. Ed Norton isn’t as dynamic an actor as Robert Downey, Jr., unlikely to carry a
Things to Do
Montclair Honeybee Fest Originally uploaded by bloomfieldguy Last night, we were suprised to hear the sound of jazz music coming through our front window, at first thinking our neighbor might be having a party, then realizing it was LIVE music from a concert going on in Watsessing Park. According to the Essex County website, it was the
Cory Booker: Hero?
Despite my previous reflexive defense of East Orange, I’ll admit to buying in to the some of the negative perceptions of Newark, and was originally going to post a link to a great article on Newark’s Mayor Cory Booker that I just got around to reading in last month’s Esquire (with the inane Mike Myers
Goodbye Potter’s Field
Home ownership is a key theme in one of my favorite movies, It’s a Wonderful Life, and as I called our current landlord this morning to officially let them know we won’t be renewing our lease, I couldn’t help but recall the scene where Mr. Martini is moving his family into their new home courtesy
