About Me
- No Bad Movies
- Started to really pay attention to film ( movies ) what was going on in front of the camera, but more interestingly, behind it as well at about as far back as age 10. Motion pictures ( when good ) are a fascinating medium. All the work and prep that goes into filmmaking. It's an amazing process !

I just found your blog from the TBTL comment section and thought I'd check it out. Very informative. Plain and simple movie information. A lot of those sites have too many bells and whistles and are competing with eachother they and put too much content on them. I like your angle of just saying what the movie is about and who made it and then your basic predictions.
As for Synecdoche, I have heard good an bad. So then I will have to see it for myself.
I just saw it tonight, and it was a challenge to watch. I mean that in a good way if that makes any sense. There are times where it meanders and you get lost, but I thought some of the supporting performances were pretty good and as usual, PSH is very good. I'll have to see it again possibly to give a more accurate review because I feel some things went right over my head. You can't deny that Charlie Kaufman is on an island all by himself.
