It’s an Estonian Weekend Here in Austin
When I called my credit card company to let them know I’d be traveling to Estonia and Latvia, I got a response I wasn’t expecting. “That’s nice. What country are those in?” “Um, those...
Here’s Hoping that this Fantastic Fest Will Be Less Bro-tastic Than Last Year
Ever since Fantastic Fest started in 2005, I’ve told everyone how amazing this sci-fi and horror film festival is. I’ve shared how much fun I’ve had, and how many friends I’ve made there. I’ve got a framed poster for the first year of the festival hanging in my hallway at home.
So it took me a long time to admit to myself how this had turned from a sweet little film festival with a bunch of film nerd folks, to what seemed like a gathering of the nerd juggalos at Fantastic Fest 2012.

Holy Motors: A Dream Logic Film
The logic of dreams is its own kind of magic, following its own rules and associations. First you were one place, then something happened, and you were completely another place…then you were a turtle.
No matter how vivid and magical your dreams are, trying to explain your dreams to anyone else is daunting.
The “Red Dawn” remake is TERRIBLE…as are the fan reactions!
As you may have heard, the remake of the 1984 cult classic “Red Dawn” is a terrible film. Watching it isn’t worth the time and trouble it takes, and it makes me cry for the earth’s resources that were wasted in constructing this bomb. It’s currently in the theater, where name recognition alone may hoodwink innocent eyeballs into paying money to watch this confused mess.
