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.
Haven’t done one of these for a long time, but I defend myself on the grounds that there hasn’t been hardly anything released yet this year worth watching. And Debbie, I promise I will write about American Idol tomorrow.

I’m not sure how Pixar keeps doing this, honestly. The new Wall*E trailer has charmed me so much that I suddenly want to cuddle and coo over a hunk of metal. This little robot guy has more personality than many actors I could name. The only thing that worries me is usually [...]
Haven’t done a trailer watch for a while. Most of the things I’m most interested in, especially this time of the year, are limited release films, and it feels weird to plug them when they come out when I know that I and most everyone I know won’t be able to see them for [...]
I’ve stopped doing the trailers for opening movies every week. It just entailed far too much time thinking about films I don’t want to see and finding trailers for obscure films that may or may not ever come anywhere near me or anyone I know. So I’m going to do trailers on a [...]
I missed Thursday due to the internet acting up.
28 Weeks Later
This sequel to 28 Days Later is not actually directed by Danny Boyle, but it looks like the director he chose to take his place is keeping a similar feel. I really liked the atmospheric quality of the first one, and I actually didn’t [...]
