"Synecdoche, New York is a surreal trip trough a mans life. I love how it plays around with time, dream and reality. Charlie Kaufman is one of the best writers of all time, and I guess it was just a matter of time when he started directing himself. I thought he did a brilliant job with this movie, but I can´t help but wonder if the script was directed by Spike Jonze or Michel Gondry, would it then have been perfect? "

"I often defend my secular education this way: We read Waiting for Godot and Camus' The Stranger. I wrote a term paper on Woody Allen. For Godsake, we wrote journals. My wife doesn't buy it. She thinks her Catholic education imbued her with special powers of observation and perception, and closeness to God. At any rate, I know my existential and absurd. As Magnolia was the best last movie of the twentieth century, Synechdocheny, New York is the best first movie of the twenty-first. It is a work of art and loving montage to film and theater and acting and women. Err, I mean homage. When you realize that Emily Watson portrays an actress portraying a younger version of the character played by Samantha Morton, who's character ages throughout the film along with Hoffman, you know you're in a movie like no other. Along the way you'll find pognancy and nihilism and sex and death bickering with one another. Look out for Adele's NeighborLady, portrayed by an old, familar face. She ... "

"As I hinted at a bit yesterday when I posted about some of the best undistributed films of the year, I have a love/hate relationship with the idea of movie ranking. The idea that any of us––critic, blogger, professional, amateur…to the extent that any of those words mean anything anymore––could be indisputably “correct” in our individual execution of such an activity is insane; and of course, any attempt to draw each of our subjective takes on The Year in Movies into a consensus waters down everything that makes an individual list idiosyncratic and thus interesting. But in the end, I do believe that what’s valuable about these activities is valuable enough to outweigh what’s annoying: if you read this blog regularly and have come to draw a bead on my tastes in relation to your own, maybe seeing a list of my favorite New York theatrical releases of 2008 will help jog your memory about films you meant to see (or avoid), and now that many of these are available on DVD, maybe you’ll ma ...

"I don't feel I am capable of a just expository of this film. It is both difficult and brilliant. At the same moment I found myself asking what the heck just happened, I found myself longing to watch this movie again and again. There are simple truths harbored within this work and complexities that will have you searching and interpreting much like you would a classic painting. Synedoche New York is art in its highest and most challenging form. It is not a film for the casual movie renter, but a revelation for the film connoisseur. "

"We’re less than two weeks away from receiving this year’s Oscar nominations, and though none of the major categories are completely predictable just yet, each has at least three or four certain favorites. Meanwhile, the final slots for Best Picture, Best Director and the acting and screenwriting categories may be simply a random grab from small handfuls of rotating contenders. As of now, it doesn’t appear we’ll be seeing any huge surprises come the morning of January 22nd, when the Academy announces the nominees. The Dark Knight is sure to become the first comic book film up for Best Picture, and it won’t even be a shocker if animated feature Wall-E is listed alongside it in the same category. But the ballots don’t need to be mailed out until Monday, so I’m taking one last chance to reach out to the procrastinators within the Academy membership. If you still don’t know who and what to write in, and you’re unwilling to go the safe route and nominate the expected bunch of films and t ... "

"After making a big splash at Sundance several years ago with his hysterical short Windowbreaker, the incredibly prolific and versatile Tze Chun, who in the five years since graduating from Columbia’s undergrad Film Studies program in 02' has made a whopping 12 low budget short films, will be back in Park City this year with his debut feature, Children of Invention. A feature length version of Windowbreaker, it follows two young Asian children living illegally in a model apartment who are left to fend for themselves when their hardworking mother disappears. We caught up with Tze (pronounced “Z”) to discuss his adoration for inappropriately long Charlie Kaufman interviews, his desire to adapt portions of Virginia Woolf and in what capacity Richard Kern and Britney Spear might become friends. What films and TV shows have you watc "

"Beyonce’s video for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” may have already garnered nearly 20 million views on YouTube, but it’s not the best of the many great music videos of 2008. Here are five that are better –– and none of them rip off Bob Fosse. You can see my picks for the 5th through 10th best videos of 2008 (yes, including Beyonce) at my blog, alsolikelife.com/shooting. 5. Killer Mike featuring Ice Cube, “Pressure” Directed by Giovanni Hidalgo One can only imagine how many hours director Hidalgo spent ripping and mixing clips off the internet, cable news, and who knows where else, but watching the result is like a long night’s cram session for a Black liberation theory class in the space of a song. The sheer breadth of footage i "

"I’ve sat here for a while now trying to think about how I’m going to begin this review. I have concluded that there really isn’t any conventional way to do such a thing. I suppose the best thing to do is just to lay out my thoughts and emotions exactly as they occurred. What happened that night wasn’t merely a viewing of a film, but rather a complete experience. To be able to write a proper review of the film itself, I have to go beyond that and share that experience. On November 21st. four friends and I spent three hours and took four different buses to get to the Oriental Movie Theater in downtown Milwaukee. It shouldn’t have taken that long but our route got messed up and we were left boarding buses and not quite sure if it was the right one. It was the most work we’ve ever done to get to a movie, and as luck would have it, it would also be the most rewarding. After dinner at a charming organic restaurant, we walked around the area for a bit a ... "
