Wow. Another week just flew by, and here were are with an even larger selection of new and/or worthwhile films opening in our fair city. Oh sure, you wouldn’t know it from the three major Hollywood releases coming out this weekend, but there’s still plenty of potentially interesting fare. Not that I’m actually managing toContinue reading “THE WEEKEND IN PREVIEW: ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU OCCUPIED”

Another week of Gothamist Interviews comes to a close with one of (I think) the best interviews we’ve ever run. All credit goes to the subject because as brilliant as my questions are (oh yes, pure genius, of course … I definitely didn’t knock them out it 30 minutes while sitting at a Starbucks orContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: AUGUST DAY 5 — PAUL SCHEER”

This week is just flying by, and these days, I really don’t like that. There’s definitely never enough time each day, and I’m just happy that this go ’round, Lily and I were smart enough to get all these Gothamist Interviews done ahead of time. I haven’t been going out at night; I haven’t beenContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: AUGUST DAY 4 — KIRSTEN CHILDS”

Back in June after going to see New Pornographers play in Prospect Park, my friend Sean and I went for some pizza. Not just any pizza, though — pizza at Amorina is amazing. Not just your traditional NYC slices, but some wonderful you-put-that-on-pizza? combinations and toppings as well. The restaurant is run by a friendContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: AUGUST DAY 3 — NAZLI PARVIZI”

Whew. The days are passing way too fast for me here. Yeah, I had a burst of inspiration with the post writing yesterday, and I meant to do a bunch more today, but I’ve run out of time. Maybe it had something to do with finally taking a day to winnow an inbox of overContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: AUGUST DAY 2 — CHRiS STEIB”

As I was writing my R.I.P. Peter post last night upon hearing the news of Jennings death, I unintentionally ignored one crucial point — well, not ignored really, as much as I just didn’t think about it. But this morning as I see the outpouring of responses on TVNewser, I have to wonder if thisContinue reading “MORE PETER JENNINGS GOODBYE — THE IMPORTANT STUFF”

Last Thursday I wrote a little post about the new Al Gore-backed cable channel Current TV. I really wasn’t planning on revisiting the channel any time before maybe later this coming week, but sometime on Friday or Saturday I flipped over to 103 briefly, and I have to say … it was as bad asContinue reading “STAYING CURRENT: AN UPDATE OF ALREADY OLD NEWS”

So there I go on Friday, talking all about how there are too many new movies out, and how am I going to have time to see all of them — oh, I’m so worried I won’t get to everything, blah blah blah. So what happens? How many of the movies that I previewed onContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN REVIEW: NOT MUCH OF THE NEW”

That’s right kids — my how time flies. Another month, another round of Gothamist Interviews from yours truly and my friend Lily. I’m actually pretty excited about this week’s group because for once we got them all done ahead of time! Well, nearly. But most of the time I find myself scrambling, late into theContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: AUGUST DAY 1 — STACEY BLUME”

“Summer Under the Stars” continues this week on TCM with a great lineup featuring Shelley Winters, Ray Milland, Lena Horne, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Wyman. There is more than enough to keep any cinephile occupied all week long. Even though I did the big comprehensive post early last week, I thought I’d do as IContinue reading “TCM WATCH: DAYS OF WINTERS, MILLAND, HORNE, DOUGLAS AND WYMAN”
