I really enjoy watching movies, especially in theaters. I've seen a lot of movies in my lifetime and have some strong opinions about them. I share those in my movie review blog, http://cinecritiqueamericain.blogspot.com/ and my other blog, http://boinced.blogspot.com/ is the Official web site for the BOINC tram, TEAM: Brian. Please, enjoy both, often. Or not. Whatever. I really could care less.

Rustlers' Rhapsody (Review)

— cinecritiqueamericain.blogspot.com — " Rustlers' Rhapsody " is one of those forgotten gems from the 80's. A western spoof... that doesn't take its self too seriously and is completely conscious of its self, but, at the same time, still works as a movie and manages to be very funny. ...

A Serious Man (Review)

— cinecritiqueamericain.blogspot.com — I may just be done with the Coen brothers after this. I don't care how brilliant... your symbolism is, poor story telling makes for an unenjoyable movie. I may be being a bit harsh. I'll give the Coen brothers this. They do seem to be able to ... (more) A Serious Man (Review)

Amelia (Review)

— cinecritiqueamericain.blogspot.com — The main problem with true stories or biographical films is that you are limited to what... actually happened. Embellish too much and your story can be unbelievable or cliche. Stick to the facts and you risk being dry and sounding like a textbook. " ... (more) Amelia (Review)

— cinecritiqueamericain.blogspot.com — I have never seen any of Richard Kelly 's other movies and I am not that... familiar with the play " No Exit ," however, I am very doubtful that my enjoyment of " The Box " will increase any if I were better versed in these works.

Dead Alive or Braindead (Review)

— cinecritiqueamericain.blogspot.com — I'm always looking for new, or new to me, zombie movies, so my Netflix queue is... ripe with potentially disappointing, less than B-movie grade, suck fests.
