A very critical review of the 2007 SIFF.

Quoted: “Hypnotized by luxury and opulence” could go a long way in accounting for why the festival selection was so much worse than in seasons past...

A list of the hardest novels to film.

This quote in the introduction caught my attention:

Quoted: Most movies these days are based on literary sources. Which is ironic, considering the increasing lack of interest in books these days as opposed to the spoon-fed thoughts offered by Hollywood.

I remember seeing some statistics recently about reading becoming more popular.

Ridiculous visual effects, probably absurd plot. The trailer looks very cool.

Quoted: 29 year old Dr. Atsuko Chiba is an attractive but modest Japanese research psychotherapist whose work is on the cutting edge of her field. Her alter-ego is a stunning and fearless 18 year old “dream detective,” code named PAPRIKA, who can enter into people’s dreams and synchronize with their unconscious to help uncover the source of their anxiety or neurosis.

Tomorrow (Sunday, 9/9), 8pm, my place in Capitol Hill. Let's see if a blueDot movie night can work.

The movie: "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", an early Almodóvar film (linked).
