The Flicker Project
http://theflickerproject.blogspot.com/
I watch a movie a day. I blog on here about the film, the issues it raises, and whether it's worth a minute of your goddamned time or not.
So far so simple. It's just a movie review site, right? Well, not exactly. After all, this is the blogosphere we're talking about, not the Hallmark Channel. Yes, you'll get a random selection of movie reviews, and yes, I'll give films a rating at the end of each blog. But I really don't care whether these flicks are classics, indie gems or made-for-TV garbage. What matters is whether they have a personal impact on me, on the particular day that I'm watching them. Beyond that, you're on your own.

Be Kind Rewind (2008)
The marketing gremlins at New Line Cinema clearly didn't know what to do with Be Kind Rewind. On the surface it looks like a goofball comedy, but there's enough weirdness from visionary director Michel Gondry to propel it into altogether stranger ter...
Anvil! The Story Of Anvil (2008)
There have been many documentaries made about the rock music industry, and almost as many spoofs. Few have been as illuminating, entertaining and (surprisingly) moving as Anvil! The Story Of Anvil, though. While the annals of rock history are filled ...
Year One (2009)
For everyone who has wanted comedy guru Judd Apatow to fall flat on his face, Year One will be something to greet with open arms. For the rest of us, it's just too far below par to be anything other than a disappointment.That's not to say that it's e...
