FIlmcap: The week of July 17-24

This week are two movies, one from last year I have seen and reviewed before, and one from this year that is a bit under the radar. Included is a short discussion of the double standards of martyrdom. 

Filmcap: The week of July 10-17

This week I watch two "kids" movies. One of them is rated PG-13, and the other is rated PG. I am willing to bet that more 10 year old kids saw the PG-13-rated movie than the PG-rated one. I talk about how the Harry Potter movies will be remembered forever, but not for their quality, and I also revisit a sweet film I've already reviewed on the blog before. 

Filmcap: The week of July 3-10

This week I discuss the weakest Almodovar film I've seen yet but still comment on how good he is, and I also compare apply the lessons of a Kubrick classic to the recent London riots. 

Filmcap: The week of June 26-July 3

This week I review one way-too-long movie and one "short film." I talk about how Spike Jonze can make fake stuff feel real and I become another one of those Michael Bay haters (also known as "people who hate fun" in some circles).

Filmcap: The week of June 19-26

This is called a filmcap, but this week it's a TVcap. I review four television seasons that either had season finales or I finished myself in this week. I give my input into the first critically-panned AMC show, rave about a show more about community than "Community", compare a fantasy show to the Arab Spring, and talk about why comedies have a harder time being good than dramas.

(I was out of the country for about two and a half weeks hence the lateness for this post and the reason no posts were published in the last few weeks. I watched minimal films in the weeks after this post and so I'll probably be getting more posts up in the next couple weeks before school starts at a more hurried pace than normal, which will hopefully make up for the lost time).
