Hey folks, Paul here again. Glad to see Phil got the ball rolling with his last post by campaigning for THE ARBOR, which I can attest is quite worthy of his love. On a similar note, I recently caught up with the awesome COLD WEATHER, which has been described by some as a mumblecore detective mystery, which would be fairly accurate except that the term “mumblecore” seems so reductive anymore. Instead, I’ll call it a mystery in miniature, in the best way. For more details, I’ll direct you to my review of the film over at my blog.
In other Muriel-related happenings…
Simon Abrams took his chances with A Dangerous Method, and looked into the old-school virtues of Ealing comedies.
Danny Baldwin spent some time with Dirty Girl.
Andrew Bemis scared up some pre-Halloween love for Count Orlok, Rev. Harry Powell, and Near Dark’s Severin.
Scott Black got into the Halloween movie spirit as well, with reviews of Insidious, Cry Baby Lane, and more!
Sean Burns reviewed The Ides of March, the long-delayed Margaret, and Rocky With Robots. At least you dodged a bullet on Human Centipede 2, bud.
Chris Devlin continued his month of horror with genre favorites both old and new.
Jim Emerson’s cinematic adventures in Vancouver continued with The Mill and the Cross.
Kenji Fujishima double-featured Sleeping Sickness and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, enrolled with The Student, vacationed in Le Havre, and found Two Years at Sea to be time well spent.
Glenn Heath reviewed The Ides of March and Real Steel for his gig at sandiego.com.
Craig Kennedy plugged the Afghanistan War doc Where Soldiers Come From, eulogized Steve Jobs and Charles “The Chin” Napier, and dropped a quartet of new trailers just for you. Jesus Craig, slow down already! You’ll make the rest of us look bad.
Adam Lemke updated his Horror Challenge tally. Also, James Glickenhaus? Haven’t heard that name in forever.
Uncle Crizzle pondered whether he might be getting critical burnout- I feel your pain, man- and reviewed Tucker and Dale vs. Evil and (you guessed it!) Real Steel and Ides of March.
Lucas McNelly shut down production on his latest filmmaking project. For now, anyway.
Phil Nugent examined the performance-art aspect of modern politics and gazed into the “Heart of Dickness”.
Bryan Whitefield offered up his own tribute to Steve Jobs.
Well-traveled Alison Willmore paid a visit to The Women on the 6th Floor, time-warped back to 1911, and went to Hell and Back Again.
Finally, Crizzle posted a pretty sweet video of a pre-NCIS LL Cool J performing and inviting some ladies up to the stage. Bad idea, James- don’t forget what the LL stands for. Anyway, it’s good for a laugh:
