WALKING ON THIN ICE



THIS WEEK AT THE THEATRE...

* Blades of Glory, a pairing of the funny with the unfunny for a movie that only gets about half the laughs it should

* First Snow, a new, existential Guy Pearce thriller from the writers of Children of Men



THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* Early Bergman - Eclipse Series, a five-disc set of some of the Swedish master's first films, part of a new Criterion offshoot

* Entourage - Season Three, Part 1, another outing with the boy's club

* Pure, a cliche junkie tale with a stand-out performance by child actor Harry Eden

* Radio On, a surprising British film beamed in from 1979, bringing kitchen sink ennui to a post-punk landscape

* Tempest, in which John Cassavetes disappears from civilization to live on an island with a dog, a subject I know so well, I could write a book on it (and did!)

* Twin Peaks -The Second Season, a largely successful completion of the series that trips and falls into one of the worst TV finales of all time

Current Soundtrack: The Fratellis, Costello Music

Current Mood: nervous

e-mail = golightly at confessions123.com * The Website * Live Journal Syndication * My Corporate-Owned Space * ComicSpace * The Blog Roll * DVDTalk reviews * My Books On Amazon

Fratellis? Really? Because of the Ipod commercial? ;)

I was skeptical at first, figuring them another hipster/scenester band, but was pleasantly surprised by some of the tracks.

People keep bringing up this iPod commercial, and I haven't seen it. I don't think it would sway me one way or the other, really, and some good bands have done iPod commercials before (Gorrilaz, and wasn't their a NERD one?).

But more importantly...why are so many of you actually watching commercials?
