<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1.&nbsp;"I Love You, Man" is very very funny. Good effort by Rudd, Segel, Favreau, and the girls at the Q&amp;A too</p>
<p>2.&nbsp;"ExTerminators" also quite good ... But was about girls getting revenge, not former robots</p>
<p>3.&nbsp;a trifle disappointed with the first batch of shorts, some winners though</p>
<p>4.&nbsp;"Pulling John" ... Fantastic, exciting doc about pro arm wrestling ... John Brzenk is a mythical slayer of monsters!</p>
<p>5.&nbsp;"Objectified" was a little light on real ideas, a little heavy on industrial designers high giving each other. Looked nice though.</p>
<p>6.&nbsp;"Moon" was alright, outer space and talking computers and all.</p>
<p>7. Impressed by "Alexander the Last" ... Watch it now on IFC on demand ... Joe Swanberg raises the bar for the mumblecore crowd.</p>
<p>8.&nbsp;"Artois the Goat" was an entertaining romantic comedy about French cheese made in Texas.</p>
<p>9.&nbsp;"Garbage Dreams" doc about Cairo's garbage collecting social class ... Interesting but heavy.</p>
<p>10.&nbsp;"Modern Love is Automatic" ... sad &amp; apathetic nurse turned dominatrix ... filmed in pastel colors with a death metal soundtrack, pretty awesome ... but with a creepy Todd Solondz-ish vibe.</p>
<p>11.&nbsp;"Drag Me to Hell" by Sam Raimi (in person, vaudeville-style) ... scary, scary flick ... with bats flying around inside the theater.</p>
<p>12. Special screening of Linklater's particularly awesome "Me &amp; Orson Welles." That Efron kid actually has talent ... who knew? &nbsp;Christian McKay may be the ghost of Orson Welles back from the dead. &nbsp;I saw "F is for Fake" ...</p>
<p>13.&nbsp;"Best Worst Movie" ... "Troll 2" ... you can't piss on hospitality! &nbsp;Nice.</p>
<p>14.&nbsp;"The 2 Bobs" ... Foul mouthed video game nerds find romance and foil jay chandresekar's spam plans ... Kinda funny, as long as you don't mind Christian bad guys.</p>
<p>15.&nbsp;"Observe and Report" is insane!!!</p>
<p>16.&nbsp;"Letters to the President" ... superbly interesting doc about Ahmadinejad and the power and perils of populism.</p>
<p>17. Rode the cow of awakening in "splinterheads" ... with shooter mcgavin, marty mcfly's girl, and the pretty hacker from transformers.</p>
<p>18.&nbsp;"Four Boxes" ... tricky but meh.</p>
<p>19.&nbsp;"Trust Us, This is All Made Up" ... every day, I say.</p>
<p>20. "Saint Mishbehavin'" ... Wavy Gravy is pretty awesome.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.dezmin.com/journal/rss-comments-entry-3365770.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>The First Review</title><category>The Key Party</category><dc:creator>Dezmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2009 03:38:29 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.dezmin.com/journal/2009/2/9/the-first-review.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">308579:3198877:2991347</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Well, our new web home hasn't even been rebuilt yet, but the fruits of Dezmin's labors are being reviewed already. &nbsp;One of the Bull's esteemed Editors Emeritus has posted a nice message about "The Key Party" and the music of Pittsburgh. &nbsp;A scholar and a gentleman, that Reidy:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Filmed in the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblecore">mumblecore</a>&nbsp;aesthetic, the Key Party calls to mind surprise hit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.foxsearchlight.com/once/">Once</a>, which was two-fifths love story and three-fifths music film. The ratio in the Key Party is more like one-fifth love to four-fifths music, but that is, by and large, a good thing, as the bands and the quality of their songs are what make the film most compelling.</p>
