Twit 2015 - Buzz Talk & News

Ha! I knew when I was reviewing Against All Odds that I had seen Out of the Past; so this is why I couldn't find it on the blog! So, it looks like I did a thriller double feature of sorts on the first Sunday of the IFFBoston Weeks - Child 44...

Looking at this set of pages, I'm really curious just what I was doing during that first week. Not "go check Facebook/Twitter" curious, though. Was it snowing like crazy in the middle of March, or was I just staying in, watching...

It's the between-holiday break, where you can slow things down a bit, get a little work done, otherwise have a fairly pleasant time. Stubless: The Sherlock special on New Yer's Day. Sunday, as you can see, didn't take me far, but it was what you...

Ugh, this is a long time coming. But, hey, my thoughts on some of these things have really had time to crystalize! Much of these weeks were spent at the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival, and, man, I spilled enough pixels about my ambivale...

Not many movies seen this week, because it was Christmas and my nieces require a lot of spoiling. Like I said, pretty quick week - on Sunday I finally caught up with Mojin - The Lost Legend, which turned out to be a fun action/adventure movie, ev...

End of the year, six days of vacation left, time to see movies, buy Christmas presents, and unpack the apartment! Okay, one-and-a-half or of three isn't bad. At this rate I'll have things unpacked the day I move out (hopefully many years from no...

Idea for next year - a movie-ticket Yahtzee game with other folks who have MoviePass or who just otherwise see a bunch of movies in a week. This week's tickets, for instance, would get me 25 points for a full house I knew something like this was...

Man, if it were just noir week, I'd have been busy, but there was just a lot going on in general. It started off with a fairly busy Sunday up and down the Red Line, starting with the last silent program of the year at the Somerville Theatre, T...

Not a lot this week, but other stuff kept popping up to keep me from actually writing up stuff from early in the week After hitting the HFA for Guy Maddin on the previous Saturday, I spent a fair amount more time there - Angel Face for Five O'Clo...

Seven days, six movies. A pleasant and sustainable pace. First up was a preview screening of one I had been looking forward to since the first time the trailer popped up (and it has done so with some regularity in recent months), Brooklyn. I've...

Another busy couple of weeks where everything seemed to demand a full review. Good news, though - I finally got my tablet back and so I can now work on such things without lugging my laptop on the bus or other places. As I mentioned at the ti...

Folks, I saw a bunch of movies over the last couple of weeks, writing about many: First things first: Getting The Walk in before it left Imax screens, because that's what it was designed for and if you see it on NetFlix six months or so from...

Someday, things will line up so that I can go 1-2-3-4-5 at the Somerville Theatre. Or maybe not; it's rare for them to have five-screening days even in the summer. But Sunday was a pretty nice try: Stubless: The Inhabitants, 9 October 2015 at 9:...

You'd think my birthday week would just be packed with movies, but there's other stuff to do too. Starting with baseball, specifically the Red Sox' last home game of the year. It was a weird day; my mother and her husband Bill won tickets in the...

Busy week, between baseball season starting, the Somerville Theatre filling screens with special presentations before the festival start, and just going to see regular movies: First up was The Tales of Hoffman, a Technicolor opera from Powell &am...
