Lars And The Real Girl (10/10)
Movies this charming are rare. Rarer still are charmers like this that work completely, from start to finish. Simply put, one of my favorite films of the year (so far, anyway). Writing: The beauty of this script is how it keys into the very nature …

Ponderings For 2007-10-28
Yeah, about a week and a half after my most recent posting, activity finally returns. I continued to suffer Comcast connectivity issues (which as of yesterday seem to finally be fixed), among other reasons for my lack of postings. I have also continued to fall …

Ponderings For 2007-10-17
My slowness with posts since last weekend is due to my cable modem connection at the house being a bit flaky. Actually, if you can’t get to any of the guygordon.com web sites, that’s also the reason why. It’s been a bit better over the …

Eastern Promises (7/10)
A fairly decent off-shoot of the mobster movie genre. For the record, I hate most mob movies, so for me to like one that’s even remotely related to the genre is pretty high praise. This movie ain’t for the squeemish, with more than enough in …

Ponderings For 2007-10-13
Today was my 32nd birthday. Didn’t do a whole lot other than lounging about and taking it easy. Saw Michael Clayton, which was excellent (review for that and a couple other movies coming within the next day or so). Also, connectivity to this blog and …

Ponderings For 2007-10-09
While I may not be a fan of bands like Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails, they are my current heroes in the music realm. Their recent snubbing of the recording conglomerates was absolutely fantastic. This article also touches upon some wonderful statements by Yahoo’s music …

TV For The Week Ending 2007-10-06
OK, next batch of TV reviews. As stated in the first batch of reviews, the continuing weekly entries won’t be for every series. I’ll probably overlap about a third of them from week to week. Or something. These will be in a more random approach. …

The Kingdom (8/10)
Described by critics as something akin to CSI: Riyadh as an action movie, this film is definitely engaging, if a bit flawed. Writing: The juxtaposition of the environment of Saudi Arabia is one of the only things that gives this plot a fresh spin. If …

Mr. Woodcock (7/10)
A charming and fun comedy with an interesting combination of characters. Writing: The plotting of the film doesn’t break new ground in any particular way, but it feels different enough to separate itself from any similar films. I will give them credit for actually explaining …

In The Valley Of Elah (8/10)
While this is undoubtedly a film featuring some fine acting performances and some nicely written dialog, it’s not a perfect film. Writing: Writer/director/producer Paul Haggis is known primarily as a writer, going as far back as writing for TV shows like Different Strokes, of all …
