Links to reviews I wrote this week for the Herald, and etc.
50/50. “Seth Rogen delivers his customary low-throated potty-talk, which is becoming less liberating with each repetition.”
Brighton Rock. “It all seems rather arty.”
Machine Gun Preacher. “Oddly inert.”
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. “We are reminded here that black comedy is a tricky business.”
On KUOW’s “Weekday,” I talk with Steve Scher about character actors. You’ll hear the excuse for this could-go-for-hours topic at the archived talk; the movie bit kicks in at 13:20 (which means you can move the little cursor thing over to that spot if you like, or just listen to the Canadian news with Vaughn Palmer first).
At What a Feeling!, a 1986 review of a quintessential Eighties movie, John Badham’s Short Circuit, the success of which was a truly dispiriting thing back then. And still is.
