So I'm hanging out a shingle in newsletter land. Two reviews a week. Seven bucks a month. As Alfred E. Neuman would say, "Cheap!" Details below. splicedpersonality.substack.com/p/introducing-…

- Replying to @SeanMBurnsThat was the night he gave me the funniest answer to any question I ever asked a filmmaker. splicedpersonality.com/2014/09/29/wil…
- At North Shore Movies this week I reviewed THE MARVELS, with some digressions regarding tank tops, Siskel and Ebert and how we ended up here. northshoremovies.wpcomstaging.com/2023/11/09/rev…
- At North Shore Movies this week I reviewed Andrew McCarthy’s BRATS. I doubt I’ll see a more embarrassing movie this year. northshoremovies.wpcomstaging.com/2024/06/14/rev…
- With Hurricane Billy at the Harvard Film Archive in 2014. Farewell to a giant.
- 25 years ago today my first paid, professional movie review was published in Philadelphia Weekly. Not a lot of people are lucky enough to do something they love for a living and I’m honored and grateful for the privilege.
- At WBUR this week I reviewed Wim Wenders’ PERFECT DAYS. Got pretty personal with this one.
- My friend Beth was kind enough to introduce me to the man tonight. He shook my hand and complained about a review he got 46 years ago from Frank Rich. I’m still walking on air.
- My favorite film of the new century was released five years ago today. I’ve written a lot about ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD but this is the piece of which I am proudest. northshoremovies.wpcomstaging.com/2019/08/21/spo…
- So this was a hell of a thing to wake up to. There’s nothing like one of your favorite critics giving a sneak peek of your obituary while simultaneously shitting on Kevin Smith. I was a blubbering mess all morning.
- Hugely honored to have an essay on BAD LIEUTENANT appearing in Imprint’s upcoming FILM FOCUS: HARVEY KEITEL collection. The limited edition box set will be released on 7/31. viavision.com.au/shop/film-focu…
