Shortcut #35: Paranoia Agent
I have learned – or come to re-realize – this about anime over the past few months, watching it with Megan both at home and at the free anime nights at the Alamo Drafthouse: Their titles rarely make any sense. … Continue reading
Cinematic Showdown: Inception vs. Carnivore
If ever, oh ever, a wiz there was! There was, there was, there was, there was— [There wasn’t. –ed.] Oh. Are you sure. [Quite sure. –ed] Because these movies really would’ve been better with a wizard or two. Can I … Continue reading
On Two Views of Michael J. Nelson
It’s true that my eyes see very differently when I’m not wearing my glasses. My left eyes is far more myopic and misanthropic. My right eye has a wider field of view and can take in an entire scene, weighing … Continue reading
On Links That I Comment On Only Barely
Today I gift you with links to things I think you should know about and will, ideally, enjoy. Frankly, I don’t have much to say about these videos, pages, columns of numbers, recurring charges, etc., except that they are enjoyable … Continue reading

And though you might think this will be a primer on what not to do on your first movie date, that installment, in fact, is not scheduled until next week. For this post we’ll be going back in time, all … Continue reading
Cinematic Showdown: Pandorum vs. Sleepwalkers
It was certainly better than I expected, this movie that tripped into the idea of the subconscious working against the conscious view of the world, a dream overlay blurring what we think we know as reality. And, as those of … Continue reading
Shortcut #27: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson is dead. He died before his novels were published, became best-sellers, and had movies made out of them. As far as can be determined, his death is not soon to be the subject of a crime novel. But … Continue reading
Cinematic Showdown: The Beyond vs. Plaguers
Both are low-budget films in the classic tradition of low-budget film-making. Both are directed by men known for their low-budget films (Lucio Fulci for The Beyond and Brad Sykes for Plaguers, who I’ve never heard of before this film, but … Continue reading
