Filmcap: The week of June 5-12


In this weeks post, I go on about how Matthew Vaughn is one of the better hack directors, how J.J. Abrams is talented but ultimately pointless, and another example of why Terrence Malick is one of the best to ever play the game (I did see "The Tree of Life" and that will be in next weeks post. Look forward to that one).

Filmcap: The week of May 29-June 5


This week an uncharacteristically great but now-cancelled cop and corruption show, a movie that's pretty much a religious cop and corruption movie but in the Crusades, another film set during the Crusades but this time with a main character that never says a word, and then a for some reason a chick flick that's not a chick flick. As you can see I've been reviewing a lot of television recently because they've all been ending, but this is one of the last ones out of the show I've been watching. In two more posts from now I'll review "The Killing" and "Game of Thrones" and that will probably be the last of them until at least this winter.

Filmcap: The week of May 22-29



A great week of movies this week. Two really good brand new yet-to-be-released 2011 films (sure to be two of the years most talked about amongst some circles), and then one movie released more than 50 years ago just to spice things up. Two great new filmmakers, and one all time great.

Filmcap: The week of May 15-22


I went to Sasquatch which messed up my posting schedule even more. I'll slowly get back to a more regular rhythm though. This week's post sees the end of two television seasons for two very similar comedies that I do end up comparing a bit. There is also one very good 2011 movie (from Wales) and one great American movie that will probably be one of the few poetic and beautiful movies you will see from a Texan director. Watch out for the next post, which will include my favorite movie of the year so far.
