On the Turntable
Quote by: Will Oldham “As soon as it becomes your profession to critique a book, or movie, or record then, not only do you lose your passion for it, but it loses validity for whoever you’re trying to turn it onto because they’re going to be approaching it from a consumer’s point of view, not from a professional writer’s point of view.” Submissions

Tuesday, May 31, 2005 75 years old today and where has the time gone. One of the greatest living actors today and do I love me some Clint Eastwood. He defined the western in my eyes and is one of the few men in cinema that can say so much without saying anything at all. Below is a list of films that, if you have not seen anyone one of these, you must stop what you are doing now and go directly to the video store. Name me five other actors that have this 5 star catalogue under their belt. You can't! And these are just the films that I feel are his best. His career spans 6 decades...need I say more. Enjoy! A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Hang'em High, Where Eagles Dare, Dirty Harry, High Plains Drifter, The Eiger Sanction, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Every Which Way but Loose, Escape from Alchatraz, and Unforgiven.

Friday, May 27, 2005 Please find a way to see this movie! That being said...Tarnation is a film by 31 year old, first time director, Jonathan Caouette. Some have called his film an "auto-documentary", but this film is more a self-portrait of Caouette's family life put together from over 20 years of photographs, tape recordings, and home movies (Hi8, Beta, VHS, and mini dv) that he's shot throughout his life. One of the greatest aspects of this truely independent film (for me anyway) is how it was put together on a basic Mac computer editing with only iMovie. I can't say enough about this film. Check out his site and view the trailer here . The film is available on dvd, so check it out.

"The film is set in contemporary Moscow and revolves around the conflict and balanced maintained between the forces of light and darkness (the result of a medieval truce between opposing sides) As night falls, the dark forces battle the super-human "others" of the Night Watch, whose mission is to patrol and protect"

Saturday, May 14, 2005 StudioCanal is behind the upcoming project from David Lynch entitled INLAND EMPIRE. He has apparently been filming for 2 years on the project and the best part is that it is shot entirely on digital video. "I started working in DV for my Website, and I fell in love with the medium. It's unbelievable, the freedom and the incredible different possibilities it affords, in shooting and in post-production." Lynch continues, "For me, there's no way back to film. I'm done with it. I love abstraction. Film is a beautiful medium, but it's very slow and you don't get a chance to try a lot of different things. With DV, you get those chances. And in post-production, if you can think it, you can do it."
