Wa-hey! Looks like we missed out on our update early this week! So to make up for it, we’re giving you a double dose of links today, because that’s the kind of awesome guys we are. Enjoy!
Muriels team-up! Over at Slant, voters Simon Abrams, Chuck Bowen, and Glenn Heath contributed to a list of the best horror films of the last decade.
Simon Abrams reviewed the new DVD of The Robber and the new Bollywood production Ra.One.
Andrew Bemis got the heebie-jeebies with Black Christmas’ Billy, the portrait-posing serial killer Henry, the object of every clown-hater’s nightmares, The Exorcist’s devil, a killer that does nothing but eat and sleep and make little baby sharks, the world’s worst case of cabin fever, and the nefarious Buffalo Bill. He also found time to take the Dr. Phibes quiz. Good on ya, Andrew!
Scott Black gave us a rundown of his 31 Days of Halloween selections.
Chuck Bowen reviewed the new Pauline Kael collection.
Sean Burns interviewed the director and star of Martha Marcy May Marlene and reviewed the movie. He also recapped week 2 of the Philly Film Festival.
Dennis Cozzalio complained about Jeffrey Wells. Join the club, brother.
Chris Devlin kept on truckin’ with his October Horror Challenge.
Jim Emerson paid tribute to The Magnificent Ambersons and looked back at the legacy of Pauline Kael.
James Frazier parlayed some face time with the Republican candidates into a straw poll of their favorite movies. The biggest surprise of the bunch has got to be Rick Perry.
Kenji Fujishima came down with a massive case of consumption (artistic, that is), and posted a mess of pictures from his recent trip to the Bay Area.
Glenn Heath reviewed the new Almodovar, Ginger Snaps, and Quatermass and the Pit. He also spotlighted some highlights of the SD Asian Film Festival.
Craig Kennedy! Where to begin? Links to Matt Zoller Seitz’s video tribute to Tree of Life! Quotes from Halloween favorites like Jaws, The Silence of the Lambs, Alien, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Birds, Carrie, and the Looney Tunes classics Hair-Raising Hare and Hyde and Hare! A weekend forecast! The lineup of Almodovar-selected classics at the AFI Fest! Trailers for Into the Abyss, Pina, Hugo, and The Lorax! And a new poster for We Need to Talk About Kevin! Whew!
Adam Lemke made some progress on his Horror Challenge.
Uncle Crizzle reviewed Puss in Boots and Margin Call, spotlighted the new 3-D projector at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, and more.
Phil Nugent shared his thoughts on Louis Menand, Them Tenacious Birthers, and the long-standing fallout from the Robert Bork hearings.
Philip Tatler got all worked up over The Island of Lost Souls.
Bryan Whitefield shed some light on The Stuyvesants, the classic album Architecture and Morality, and a striking new ad.
Alison Wilmore reviewed Margin Call, 13, Bellflower, The Double, Like Crazy, and Silver Bullets.
Finally… I’ve never been one to talk about my son much in public forums, for reasons too boring to go into here. However, I don’t begrudge others their right to do so, especially when their kids are engaging and cool. In that spirit, here’s Dennis’ daughter Nonnie with her rendition of Poe’s The Black Cat:
And to double your fun, here’s the wound-up Razor, the dog who lives with Kenji Fujishima:
Michael Lieberman posted a video that sums up for him the state of America today. Hint: it’s not pretty:
And oh, what the hell. Here’s last year’s Best Supporting Actor winner John Hawkes crooning a tune from his latest movie:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm spent.
