Just noticed that Herk Harvey’s 1962 cult classic Carnival of Souls is available in its entirety on hulu. Consider this my contribution to any horror-themed October shenanigans. Because I don’t really get into horror-themed October shenanigans that much, although I am going to try to spend some time month catching up on some classic horror I’ve managed to miss. You know, like Night of the Living Dead. As an example. Oh, while we’re on the subject of hulu, they just put up Richard Linklater’s Slacker. I totally would’ve scooped everyone online if I’d posted it when I first saw it this morning, but by the time I got around to it, Slashfilm, SpoutBlog, and Anne Thompson had already beat me. That’ll teach me to procrastinate.
It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.
In an effort to get caught up on these recap posts, I did shorter write-ups on some of the films I didn’t care about as much (and I’m going to do the same thing for August, hoping to get it out by, you know, the end of September so I can, you know, do September’s). [...]
I wish that book resources on the internet were as easy to find as film and music resources. Now, maybe I’m just better at looking for film and music information than book information, but I find it odd that for each type of book-related website I’d like to find, I can name an exact [...]
I did not watch or read a lot of great stuff in June. I think I gravitated toward somewhat mindless fare on the movie side due to the effort of reading (skimming?) two novels a week for class, and the reading was dictated completely by the class–which was on Joseph Conrad, D.H. Lawrence, and [...]
In May I was home for a few weeks, and took advantage of the amazing St. Louis library system to knock several films off my 2007 Goal list. Then I got burned out on that and just watched some random old stuff. After the jump, reactions to Spider-Man 3, The Great Dictator, They [...]
Guess what! I finally finished April’s recap! I know, right? April was the month in which I rediscovered Turner Classic Movies during a few weeks of relative dead time at school and, between that and an active month of Netflixing and theatre-going, watched a total of 24 movies. I think that’s [...]
I’m getting further behind, aren’t I? *sigh* And wait until you see April’s recap, when I get that one written (hopefully I’ll be motivated to get it done during the break). After the jump, reactions to Joyeux Noel, Where the Truth Lies, The Lookout, All About My Mother, Langston Hughes’s autobiographies, Zora [...]
Six weeks late. Ah well. After the cut, reactions to The Devil Wears Prada, Dreamgirls, This Film is Not Yet Rated and several books I read for school.
This isn’t late at all, is it? Nope, not at all. Moving on now. Reactions to Rain Man, Children of Men, Pan’s Labyrinth, Curse of the Golden Flower, Possession: A Romance, The Emperor Jones and more after the jump. And the next time I need to procrastinate, maybe I can get [...]
