Newfest ’08: Be Like Others

Nathan — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:08:34 +0000

7245|200For years now I have been going and seeing movies that are part of Nefest, the NY GLBT Film Festival. Besides the obvious silly gay films from around the world, I am often struck by some of the documentaries. I tend to see about 12 movies, with a 50/50 breakdown of serious to fun.

Oscars – Who F’ing Cares

Nathan — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 21:21:49 +0000

I must be the only person who couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the Oscars. Self aggrandizing over paid emotionally imbalanced freaks parading around in clothing & diamonds that would feed Nigeria for a year fawning over crappy statuettes – not even statues – obsequiously thanking every slug they ever met.

No thanks.

Lost in Translation

I adore the movie Lost in Translation. The dry delivery of Bill Murray is just about as funny as you can get! Life Aquatic: masterpiece! I laugh even at the thought of both of these movies.

Naturally, when I saw the title “Lost in Translation” come up in my BBC news feed, I clicked on [...]

Nina’s Tragedies

Another weekend, another Israeli movie! Nina’s Tragedies is more about a perverted boy, Nina’s nephew, and what he goes through than Nina. In a wierd combination of Lynch and Almodovar the relationships between the characters twist and turn in part discontinuous narration from the diary of the boy and part standard exhibition. If you liked [...]

And all I have to say is “G-d bless America!” Land of the idiot home of the moron. Even more impressive is the appearance of this news tidbit on the BBC.

Practical jokers released two rattlesnakes at a US movie theatre during a showing of new film Snakes on a Plane, the cinema chain has [...]

Snakes On A Plane

Nathan — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 02:13:48 +0000

Idan and I saw Snakes on a Plane tonight. It was the most stupid, most ridiculous and funniest movie I have seen since Bring It On! Do I really need to give you a plot summary? I think the title says it all. You have to see this movie. It is as time scary, especially [...]

Broken Wings

Idan and I watched Broken Wings-×›× ×¤×™×™× ×©×‘×•×¨×•×ª tonight. It is an Israeli movie about a family of 4 and the troubles they go through after the father dies. I avoid major motion pictures and prefer smaller foreign or indy films. I would even say I get pretty into them, not just enjoy them. This movie [...]
