Tiger Tail in Blue
I am not nearly clever enough to completely understand what was going on in Tiger Tail in Blue, our second-to-last film on this, the third day of the Wisconsin Film Festival. The film focuses on Christopher, an Aspiring Writer who waits tables on the night shift at a Chicago restaurant to bring in some money.… Read.

Aldi tea advert
We watched The British Arrows last night. It was an hour-long collection of the best television advertisements of 2012. This one gave me the best belly laugh of the evening! Read.

Photobomb!
Between movies, we had time enough to drive up to Brasserie V to check out some of the imported beers and fill up on some delicious pub food! Read.

Dragon Inn
I’m not sure what I can say about Dragon Inn that would do it justice. A classic chop-socky film that goes great with a bag of popcorn and a bottle of beer, I didn’t expect anything from it but lots and lots of kung-fu action, and that’s exactly what I got. It had an evil… Read.

Unfinished Song
What if I told you that Terrance Stamp could not only play the lead in a movie about a devoted husband dealing with the loss of his wife to cancer, but that he could melt your heart doing it? You’d say I was nuts, right? And I’d expect you to say that, because until last… Read.

M

That’s not just my opinion, that’s an observation.… Read.

Cheap Thrills
The longer I think about Cheap Thrills, the last movie we saw yesterday, the less I understand the entertainment value of it. I realize that people seem to think shows like Fear Factor and Jackass are entertaining, but I don’t understand that, either. And maybe I’m just as gullible as the guy, but I’d like… Read.

In The Fog
My Darling B has challenged me to come up with a one-word review for each movie we see during the Wisconsin Film Festival. The only word I could think of to describe In The Fog was: Russian. The word B came up with was “bleak,” which is the same kind of vibe but “Russian” is… Read.

Brewster McCloud
My one-word review of Brewster McCloud: Stoned. In fact, Michael Murphy, one of the principal actors, introduced the movie by explaining that “there was an awful lot of this going on,” and then pinched his forefinger and thumb together in front of his puckered lips and made a sucking sound, the universal sign of doing… Read.

Gideon’s Army
My one-word review of Gideon’s Army, the second movie we saw at the Wisconsin Film Fest last night, would be: Inspiring. It’s inspiring to know that there are people like public defenders out there, if ‘inspiring’ is the word to describe the way they made me want to get a law degree and fight for… Read.
