Filmcap: The week of Oct 16-23

Vagabond, The Constant Gardener, and The Messenger are some of the movies reviewed this week. There's also a little bit of a World War II theme with Resnais' Night and Fog and Truffaut's The Last Metro, both French films coincidentally. In this post you can also find some words about how people view free spirited people, how we can avoid another Holocaust, and the different ways we all grieve. 

Filmcap: The week of Sept 18-25

Blue Valentine, Last Year at Marienbad, and A Streetcar Named Desire are highlights from this week. Yes I finally saw Blue Valentine and yes it's very good. In this post you'll find discussions on what is subversive in old Hollywood movies, conflicting emotions when a well-intentioned movie doesn't succeed, and how an artsy pretentious movie can still be a masterpiece.
