Mike D'Angelo sheepishly
presents...
...being the
semi-regular (to put it politely) cinematic musings of a man who should
know better than to squander his valuable time in this
manner at all
IMPORTANT: Updated note on the monthly viewing-journal subscription model thing. MUST READ!
- Who is this clown? (due for revision)
- Why should I care about any of this stuff?
- How come there are suddenly fancy
graphics on this page, after you swore like up and down that this would
remain a snaz-free zone? Huh?

- A.O. Scott, Manohla Dargis and Stephen "endless plot summary" Holden
make a bizarre triangle over at the New York Times.
- Many young men have developed a yen for the blistering pen of Glenn Kenny.
- Bryant Frazer's Deep
Focus has been re-reconfigured as a website, it seems. The times
they are a-changin' back...
- You can still read Theo Panayides on
the Cyprus Mail site, but you'd better be really curious about what he
thinks of the latest useless Hollywoof [sic] nonsense. Such a waste...
- Cinephilia has no greater champion on the far right than Victor J. Morton, whose
lucid prose will make you wonder how somebody so frickin' smart could be
so freakin' wrong.
- Ryan Wu, aka
MuseMalade, addresses politics, baseball and L.A. nightlife as well as
movies, making almost as many cogent observations as bizarre typos.
- Michael
Sicinski demonstrates that it's possible to write about avant-garde
cinema (among other things) without sounding like a humorless, pedantic jerkwad.
- And now here's further evidence to that effect plus curatorial
excellence from Wexner Center for the Arts' Chris Stults. Huzzah!
- Bilge Ebiri opted to name his
new(ish) blog They Live by Night, forgoing the more obvious It's
Pronounced Bill-guh.
- Dan Sallitt's ever-evolving list of favorite films
discriminates against the colorblind. He now also blogs.
- Jason Overbeck worked on
Green Zone, but I choose not to hold that against him.
- I'm gonna keep this link up until Matt Prigge inevitably flakes out on
his screening log, then I'm gonna take it down.
- "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom"--William Blake. "I
will now color-code every film in the TIFF lineup by wanna-see"--Blake Williams
- A.A. Dowd is my kind
of film writer: always eloquent, never pompous.
- Not sure what to watch tonight? TheFilmsaurus has
a few suggestions, plus thoughtful musings from curator Jaime N.
Christley.
- Join Kevin B. Lee,
a smart guy and one of my most
discerning critics, as he watches the last 100 unseen-by-him films on
this here list.
- Vern
apparently lives. Long apparently live Vern.
- The Movie Review
Query Engine is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
- The Internet Movie Database, I
trust, needs no introduction.
I value your input. Maybe.
