I’m Back

No reviews, noth­ing too much impor­tant to say here, so I’ll make it quick. Those of you who knew me back in film school knew that I had a knack for tear­ing deep into a work that I found flawed or incom­plete. During the for­ma­tive years of my film edu­ca­tion I sim­ply found it more reward­ing to point out the prob­lems and holes in a film in hopes of learn­ing how to avoid them myself.

However, for about the past year, I came to find this method far too neg­a­tive, and ulti­mately a bad influ­ence on my own karma or what-have-you. So I began latch­ing on to the pos­i­tives I could find and explor­ing those aspects; see­ing what it was in films that I was unable to cre­ate myself that was so fas­ci­nat­ing, even if other aspects of the work suf­fered or were non-existent. It is this that has brought me so close to the sum­mer block­buster, that has made me bask in the bright glory of the sum­mer 2007 BO returns.

No more.

After the “Simpsons Movie” (for I’m pos­i­tive the hor­rors this movie will hold may be too great for even my pow­ers), I vow to return to my ini­tial form of cin­e­matic decon­struc­tion. No pris­on­ers will be taken, not even the ven­er­a­ble Tony Scott. I’m bust­ing back like Voldemort out of a Horcrux kids.

So to my three devoted read­ers: don’t say I didn’t warn you.
