Among other things, I'm a movie buff. I must see a couple hundred a year, between the theatre and home video, and I have long since come to the conclusion that the best movies, the ones that most deserve our attention, are usually NOT those that "win the weekend" in the stupid newspaper tallies that have brainwashed so many people into considering this vital art form a horse race most often won by fart-and-vomit comedies.
I love documentaries, I love independent films, I love screenwriters and directors
who manage to produce original and vibrant work in the face of increasing pressures
to dumb their stuff down as much as possible. I love Scorcese, Kurosawa, Sidney
Lumet, Hitchcock. I find stupid movies that waste my time infinitely more depressing
than dark and demanding stuff like HAPPINESS and MAGNOLIA. But I am not an empty
snob about it, as I will also enjoy a good popcorn flick if I think it provides
the goods (increasingly rare these days, but it happens). These reviews may
not often feature my best prose (they're often typed directly to my newsgroup,
at a dead heat), but they do show where my criteria lie. Check often for updates,
or watch my newsgroup.
REVIEWS OF CURRENT FILMS
Note from Adam: This is by no means a complete list of the reviews I've done for SCIENCE FICTION WEEKLY; I've omitted a few, no doubt missed some others, and there will always be new reviews on that site not yet added to this list. Go to the current issue to see what's up.
Note: These will be updated frequently, so keep checking back!
NOTE from the webmistress.... Adam writes entirely TOO MANY reviews!
