SMALLVILLE [first few episodes]- Very innovative concept, with wonderfully creative ideas, writing, and acting. This series has completely refuted many of my major expectations of this show, which is a very good thing. I thought that this would be about Superboy. Obviously. Its Clark Kent in Smallville, with powers. Yet, as far as I can tell, ( Read more... )

FELLINI’S CASANOVA- [3.7] Donald Sutherland is my new favorite character actor. From his creepy, repressed performance as the pitiful Homer Simpson in DAY OF THE LOCUST to his flamboyant, ridiculously unconventional portrayal of the infamous lover Casanova, Sutherland has been utterly convincing.

Things aren’t right, as the perky daughter is about to get married and Joan seems to be slipping out ( Read more... )

TRASH- [4.0] My favorite of the Paul Morrisey trilogy of Joe Dellesandro films. While far far removed from a typically polished film, the sound quality is much improved, the dialogue sharper and funnier, and the camera work more daring and watchable. Judy Woodlawn steals the show here, as a sex craved, garbage digging tranny. Her seduction of a ( Read more... )
