Viewing log: 2/4/10


New Releases


A batty shambles, and ugly to boot, but you could snigger throughout at the costumes alone


An intellectual game, addictive to play, but let's not pretend its kooky thesis really adds up


Everything I said here


Disguises a cynical core under cute flash and cartoon brutality -- and disguises it badly


Pretty effortful, full of glum stick-people, and the Big Twist stinks up the joint


Faintly disappointing in its overdone "lyricism", but plainly heartfelt and certainly touching



Other Adventures


Great faces, great specificity, and terrifically supple in the ways it circles and observes

Children of God (LLGFF) D+

Dramatises both Bahamian homophobia and gay self-doubt with sledgehammer crudity

Exactly with you on Dragon. Lovely and endearing. May even have to change my little avatar, since I think I prefer it to Lilo & Stitch.

The divisiveness on Kick-Ass has been interesting so far.
