Filmcap: The week of Sept 11-18

The Conversation, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, and Drive are some of the highlights of this week. Not quite as packed with great stuff as last week, but the great movies definitely continue. Included in this post are some discussions on the American perspective of Mexico, comedies of failures, and turning the political into the personal.

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 April 10-17

This week I review a recent HBO miniseries, a quirky but great movie, two thrillers from different eras, one character study, and another Iranian film in my continuing research for a paper on Iranian cinema I'm going to write soon for my Art & Society class.
