    "(Complete interview with Paul Schrader available here.) Adam Resurrected is the new movie by Paul Schrader (Affliction, Auto-Focus) premiering here at Telluride 2008. I was at the first screening which was also the first time Schrader ever watched the movie with an audience. “I realized watching it how exhausting it is, ” he told me right after the screening, “And it’s full of extremes. Literally, that old saying ‘you don’t know whether to laugh or cry’ is true here, and some scenes I think either emotion is fine with me.” It’s in the navigation of extremes that my crush on Jeff Goldblum, who plays the title character, was born. I’m not one to get into Oscar buzz, but I will with Jeff and even add easily excerpted blurbs: Jeff Goldblum is magnificent. Jeff Godlblum’s peformance is a tour de force. I want to make out " [More]

    "This is the ultimate Edwin movie. While I was watching it, I realized that it is not only the kind of thing that my pal would enjoy, it's the kind of movie that he would write, which makes it harder to beleive that it's based on true events. The events (as portrayed in the film): Bob Crane (Greg Kinnear) was a c-list actor who briefly rose to fame as the star of Hogan's Hero's, a 60's sticom set in a German prison camp. Crane appeared to have it all- a good marridge, children, and a lucritive carreer. But then he meets a perverted video technician named John Carptenter (the ultimate Willem Dafoe performance). Together, Crane and Carpenter begin videotaping themselves having sex with lots and lots of women (though Crane insists that it's all heterosexual).
