Broken Moon
Mmmm, Penelope . If people had any sense it would be Almodovar movies that broke attendance records. Not the movies that, in fact, do. But enough handwringing about box offizzze. Given Towleroad’s generous coverage of all things Twilight (all things equalling shirtless wolf boys and wild ...

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion
filmexperience.blogspot.com — . JA from MNPP here, doing the 2001 thing , briefly noting a flick from the year that left a bit of an impression on lil' ol' me. Yes, Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko . I can and have - seriously I have, click here to see - list a bunch of reasons ... (more) Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion
Her First Time.
Jose here with a look back at one of 2001's cinematic gems. At a time when abortion is still a controversial issue, where the ratio of HIV infections in people under 25 increases by the day and where some systems insist on abstinence as the only form of sexual education; Catherine Breillat ...

Birthday Suit (With Bright Yellow Trench)
Today is the 109th anniversary of one Chester Gould the creator of Dick Tracy. Every time Dick Tracy (1990) comes up, I think "you should watch that movie again!" but I never do. I think I'm still mad that Warren Beatty kept cutting away from Madonna's "More" performance... which should've ...

Directors of the Decade: Brad Bird
Robert here. My initial thought for my series on the directors who shaped the past decade was to combine the Pixar guys into one big entry. Five minutes later I was filled with great shame. How dare I think that just because these men make animated films, they don’t deserve their own entries. ...

The Best Opening Scene of 2001?
Robert here. As Nathaniel looks back at 2001 , I feel myself wanting to throw in some praise for the best opening scene of the year. An eclipse is coming and the drunks at the town bar enlist the help of village idiot Valuska to explain it to them. You see, Valuska understands things. And those ...

Dancing at the Film Experience
Dancing at the Film Experience
filmexperience.blogspot.com — Glenn from Stale Popcorn here to throw in two cents worth of discussion about the year 2001 per Nathaniel's request. Last week for the year 2000 I discussed a favourite from that year that I felt had been criminally underrated. At least a lot of ... (more) Dancing at the Film Experience
Queer Birthday Suits
Cinematic birthdays for Nov. 19th , this time with lighter loafers. 1889 Clifton Webb , reportedly as out as an actor could be back in the day but Oscar never gave him their top prize. They never give out actors the statue. Sad, but true. Classic films include Oscar favorites like Laura and ...

Snub! The Story of Snub
Each year the Academy's documentary branch finds a new way to enrage film fans everywhere. This year's big casualty: Anvil! The Story of Anvil , the blissfully reviewed heavy metal documentary ( my review ). That unforgettable music doc's Oscar snub is unsurprising but in a way it only ...

Curio: Wild Things
Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here. While it's been in theaters for over a month, the influence of Spike Jonze’s interpretation of Where the Wild Things are is still being felt pretty strongly. I've been enjoying following We Love You So , a collection of the art and style influences on the ...

Salt N' Pepa N' Linkerella
mmmmmANGELINA. Man gelina. I'm so curious to see Salt now that Jolie is staring me down from the poster (she does so more intimidatingly there -- the gaze is more benevolent in real life) and I'm reminded that Salt was originally written for a male star. Will we see any telltale signs of that ...

Decade in Review: 2001 Top Ten
What follows is my original top ten list of 2001. We'll discuss each year of the decade over the next month or two ( we already did 2000 ). I do this because I am curious about which films "stick" and which fade and why and maybe you are too? Best year of the decade I think. The top five films ...
