    ever watch a film with the director in the room?

    I'll never forget sitting through Darren Aronofsky's "Pi" at Sundance at '98. My wife and I were near the back of the theater and our conversation frequently drifted into how much this movie sucked (still haven't watch it since to see if I feel the same way). After the lights came up, Aronofsky...

    New Line (A History of Violence)

    Elijah - your comments are spot on. I couldn't agree more that the film fits with Cronenberg's oeuvre. The persistant themes are there, the look is there, the economy of shots and even the shocking moments of gore. That's what makes my feelings about the screenplay (which I suppose I blame...

    New Line (A History of Violence)

    I've all but worshipped Cronenberg's work for most of his career, but I CAN'T be the only one who found this movie horrendously simplistic and embarrassingly overacted.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: 3 Godzilla titles

    Having started this bit of Nestor bashing, I feel obliged to cap it off. The plight of the DVD reviewer is tougher than one might think...you have to be knowledgable on a wide genre of films and their fans. You don't always get to review what you like, but you do have a responsibility to be...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: 3 Godzilla titles

    Nestor: While I sympathize with your role of having to review films you obviously despise, there are two predominate factors as to "why" these movies are such an event for Godzilla fans. The first being a 16 X 9 enhanced presentation and the second, Japanese language tracks. I always...
