March 30, 2011 By Bobby Finger

SXSW is over, but Brooklyn resident Jake Roper put together this nice video for those of us who couldn’t make it to the yearly Austin event. Watch it below and experience all the pedicab-taking, carousel-riding, maximum occupancy-violating fun that you may (or may not) have missed this month. 24hrs at SXSW from Jake Roper on […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Win Win

March 18, 2011 By Bobby Finger

As a family drama whose most inspiring character is an outsider and a sports comedy where the most significant wins and losses occur outside the gymnasium, Tom McCarthy’s newest is a small treasure that tweaks the conventions of familiar stories just enough to make something that is entirely his own. Win Win is a funny, […]

FILM REVIEW: The Housemaid

January 21, 2011 By Bobby Finger

The screenplay for The Housemaid, a new thriller from South Korea, must have had audience reactions written in the margins. Because the narrative should be familiar to all of us, we react not because we don’t expect the film’s more violent and erotic moments, but because cues are being given to us. While watching the […]

FILM REVIEW: Tiny Furniture

November 12, 2010 By Bobby Finger

FILM REVIEW: Morning Glory

November 10, 2010 By Bobby Finger

In the frustrating yet delightful new comedy, Morning Glory, the most important relationships are underdeveloped, romantic relationships aren’t developed at all, intelligence is treated as an irritating quirk, every storyline is wrapped up in a dialogue-free montage during the movie’s final moments, and Rachel McAdams is absolutely charming. She’s Becky Fuller, a clumsy, perky go-getter […]

Happy Hausuween

October 26, 2010 By Bobby Finger

It’s been selling out midnight screenings for a few years now, but Criterion has finally released the previously hard-to-find-but-beyond-worth-it-once-you-finally-find-it Japanese horror classic, Hausu (House), on DVD and Blu-ray just in time for a nice Halloween cash-in. There’s really no better experimental horror-comedy (with cats) out there, so it’s definitely worth a watch if you haven’t […]

Where have I been: The Spectacle Theatre edition

October 10, 2010 By Bobby Finger

When a friend tells me, “Oh hey, a movie theater just opened underneath my apartment,” and that apartment is on South 3rd and Bedford, my interest is piqued. The Spectacle is a not-for-profit theater that’s been open for just under a month and they’re focusing on “rare films and live theater.” Their October schedule includes […]
