Hey folks. As long as we're recommending potential Muriel-ballot ringers, allow me to throw out A Separation. It opens December 30th (just under the eligibility wire), and if you miss it, your ballot will be short the most beautifully constructed screenplay of the year. I'm just sayin'.
Anyhoo... what's in my inbox? *checks inbox* Good God, people!
- Simon Abrams liked himself some Park Chan-wook... and that's okay!
- Ali Arikan said, "Yes, Anatolia."
- Andrew Bemis met a couple of scary cats in Kevin Spacey and Robert Blake.
- Scott Black repped the horror genre hard with Dellamorte Dellamore, The Shout and Just Before Dawn. (In non-horror news, he also saw the latest film by some Jewish dude.)
- Chuck Bowen went hunting for different species of movie monsters and ended up bagging a Homo deadicus afrikaanus (AKA the lesser South African zombie) and a Homo slashus hockeymaskicus (AKA the immortal masked summer-camp slasher).
- Chris Devlin chugged along on the October Horror Challenge with the Nightmare on Elm Street remake and the original Prom Night. (Good idea skipping the worthless remake, bud.) Then he played a song inspired by They Live.
- Jim Emerson got frank about gettin' nekkid and tossed out an animated addendum to his recent breakdown of action scenes from Salt.
-James Frazier talked about why he liked Drive then talked about people who don't.
- Kenji Fujishima got his NYFF on.
- Glenn Heath was all about the youths: youths as poets, youths as dogs and youths as potential "zombie" chow.
- Craig Kennedy trailered the new Polanski and chose Peckinpah over Clooney this weekend. Plus, he handed out some words of wisdom.
- Michael Lieberman thought that if you don't know Dorsky, you don't know nuttin'.
- Lucas McNelly got rained on.
- Phil Nugent mused about Steve Jobs and capitalism as well as a couple alarmed bits of culture. Also, holy crap AV Club avalanche!.
- Philip Tatler rode away with The Phantom Carriage.
- Scott Von Doviak found The Walking Dead still has a strong pulse.
- Hey, what happened to those crazy kids from Once? Ask Alison Willmore.
Today's video: Jacques Tourneur has been knocking my shit out recently. Here's one real good reason why.
