"In honor of the 75th anniversary of the New York Film Critics Circle, this year’s New Directors/New Films festival will devote a week of matinees to previous NYFCC Best Director winners, selected and presented by current members of the critics group. The can’t-miss of the lineup looks to be the infamously contrarian Armond White’s presentation of Whit Stillman’s Metropolitan, which takes place on April 1. The other critics are David Fear, Marshall Fine, Lisa Schwarzbaum and Peter Travers; the other films are Half Nelson, Big Night, Frozen River and In the Company of Men.

"The Vicious Kind, a love triangle drama starring Adam Scott and Brittany Snow, directed by Lee Toland Krieger and executive produced by Neil LaBute, is described in the always remarkable Sundance catalogue as “a glimpse into the soul of a damaged man whose obstinate defense mechanisms are laid bare by his fractured relationships.” We subjected Krieger to the 4 Questions We Ask Everyone, and he divulged about his unusual choice of film stock and taking cues from Cassavetes, and twice implied seething hatred for Paris Hilton. Tell us about your movie: who did you work with, what did you shoot on, why did you make it? Give us the reductive, 25-word or less, “It’s like [pop culture reference a] meets [pop culture reference b]!” pitch, then explain what the quick and dirty sell leaves out. My film is called The Vicious Kind and it stars Adam Scott, Brittany Snow, Alex Frost and JK Simmons. We shot the film on 35mm—Kodak’s Vision 1, specifically. It’s something I very proud of.

"At long last, I sat down today to watch the documentary 'Reel Paradise' which chronicles the final month of John Pierson's adventure running a movie theater in Fiji. As a long standing admirer of Mr. Pierson, I was excited when I first heard about this film, but since I couldn't find one in a store locally, I unfortunately put off viewing for a couple years. The film was certainly worth the wait, succeeding as a celebration of film and a travelogue of a Western family living among the natives of the island. The experience of watching the film was quite enlightening and helped me reconnect with my enthusiasm for the movies. I can also honestly say that I had one of the most pleasant and surprising experiences ever watching a film. About three-quarters of the way into the film, John Pierson's son Wyatt is practicing a speech he will give to the audience at the evening's screening. Proud Papa John is listening from the very back of the theater, as seen below. Why would I be surprised ... "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.In the Company of MenThe trailer of the movie says this: The most talked about film this year has no graphic sex, no physical violence, no natural disasters, nothing but harmless conversation.I'm not really sure if it was the most talked about movie that year, but as I had heard before seeing the movie, it does manage to give you that uncomfortable cringe factor. And there is no sex actually shown, virtually no physical violence, and obviously no natural disasters unless you consider Fort Wayne, Indiana worthy of that description.Neil LaBute was previous to making this film, and still is I believe, a playwright and involved in the theatre. This movie could have very well been a play but considering the style and technique made a worthy film too. The locations are simple but effective. There's a wonderful kind of focus and atmosphere.I read a ... "

Wooden Dialogue Offends the Most

"There were so many things that were supposed to offend me about this movie. What I did not expect was to be most offended by the poorly written dialogue. Apparently, I am in the minority, because it seems to be accepted wisdom that this film features some of the world's greatest writing.Yes, the premise is quite interesting and I appreciate the investigation into the darker realms of humanity. But I cannot be the only person who feels that the dialogue was EXTREMELY unnatural and wooden.The discussions were so overloaded with exposition that they no longer sounded like two people talking to each other, but rather sounded like the screenwriter giving us a lecture about his ideas. Maybe this would have made a good book, but as a movie it fell flat for me. I never accepted the two main characters as anything but a mouthpiece for Labute to express some ideas. They never became living and breathing characters to me, and for that reason the film failed me.I realize that other pe ... "

"Here’s the dilemma. I have a list of well over three thousand movies I want to see saved on IMDB. I have a subscription to Netflix and recently every time I return a DVD it has been an extremely arduous task to make the decision as to which movie I should see next. In an effort to narrow down my choices and make the process of choosing slightly less overwhelming I have devised a system, almost a bit of a game for me. Here’s how it goes.For my first film selection, I have narrowed the options down to only films that were released in the year 2006. Then after I have watched that movie, my next selection would have to be a film released in 2005. Then I would see a film from 2004, then 2003, etc. The process of deciding is still laborious, but actually quite a bit more exciting. (I'm going by IMDB as my source for release years)I have already been making a list and have also already begun watching the films. I decided this might be a good time to start fooling ... "
