It’s almost fascinating to watch Art School Confidential slowly start coming apart before it finally crashes and burns. Almost fascinating – it’s actually very disappointing to know that the Dan Clowes and Terry Zwigoff, men behind Ghost World (and… Continue reading
This review contains minor, unavoidable spoilers. Los Angeles is a weird place, and if you don’t know that firsthand, the movies are always willing to tell you. Hollywood loves turning out movies about itself and its immediate environs, and it’s rare when one… Continue reading
“What’s in Rabbit Foot?” someone asks in Mission: Impossible: 3. The answer, my friends, is pure, concentrated MacGuffin. Like any good MacGuffin, Rabbit Foot is the thing that drives the mechanics of this film – in MI3’s case it’s a device (biohazardous, it… Continue reading
