Another new movie experience and another lesson learned. The one we have to talk about this month has become something of a cult classic since its release nearly two decades ago. I can see how it has earned that reputation. It's a very well-made movie, a realistic take on teen alienation that comes with a prickly … Continue reading The Scarlett Johansson Project — #5

Release: Friday, February 21, 2023  →Netflix Written by: Michael Cristofer Directed by: Michael Cristofer The problem with The Night Clerk is not its depiction of a developmental disorder or that it tries to be two movies in one. It's that those two elements -- character study cum genre film -- don't properly coalesce. It works actually quite well as … Continue reading The Night Clerk

Release: Friday, May 22, 2023 (Netflix) →Netflix Written by: Aaron Abrams; Brendan Gall; Martin Gero Directed by: Michael Showalter  The entertaining but uneven The Lovebirds gives one the impression director Michael Showalter wanted to do something more laidback and lightweight following The Big Sick. While The Lovebirds has a few of the elements that made his 2017 romantic comedy such a … Continue reading The Lovebirds

Go go gadget holy sh*t! I've just been reminded that today marks my ninth year of blogging with WordPress! (If you want to read something quaint, here's the review that began it all.) Some time ago, maybe circa 2013-14, I jokingly commented to someone that I'd be doing this for a decade. Well, that's actually doable … Continue reading Nine Years of Movie Blogging

We're more than halfway through 2023 (and thank goodness for that), and yet not quite halfway through The SJP (thanks to a delay up front in Jan/Feb). In case anyone has noticed there hasn't been a whole lot of organization to this feature, which I have actually enjoyed. There was a version of this where I … Continue reading The Scarlett Johansson Project — #4

Release: Friday, October 18, 2023 →On Demand Written by: Rhett Reese; Paul Wernick; Dave Callaham Directed by: Ruben Fleischer I'm not much of a zombie guy but I have a lot of time for Zombieland. The original, now over a decade old, was this fun little hang-out movie set at the end of the world, a nice, self-contained story that … Continue reading Zombieland: Double Tap

Release: Friday, October 4, 2023 (limited)  →Showtime  Written by: Rob Grant; Mike Kovac Directed by: Rob Grant Harpoon is a horror-comedy set at sea that is bizarrely compelling considering what actually happens in 80 short minutes. It's a vicious little social experiment concocted by writer/director Rob Grant, who quite brilliantly uses little more than the bare essentials … Continue reading Harpoon

My apologies for a lack of content this month. It's been a rough May. With all that's going on right now I'm surprised I'm even this sane. I sincerely hope my fellow bloggers and readers have been holding up okay and doing whatever they can to stay healthy, positive and productive/creative. The one thing I … Continue reading Android 关于arm64-v8a、armeabi-v7a、armeabi、x86下的so ...:2021-9-4 · arm64-v8a是可伍向下兼容的，但前提是你的项目里面没有arm64-v8a的文件夹，如果你有两个文件夹armeabi和arm64-v8a，两个文件夹，armeabi里面有a.so 和 b.so,arm64-v8a里面只有a.so，那么arm64-v8a的手机在用到b的时候发现有arm64-v8a的文件夹，发现

Being quarantined at home may be the perfect time to look back on a movie that explores loneliness and connection. This was obviously not something I planned, but social distancing has a way of making us look at things differently and that includes the way we experience certain movies. That's what's happening with me and … Continue reading The Scarlett Johansson Project — #2

Release: Friday, August 23, 2023 →Netflix Written by: Robert Mark Kamen; Matt Cook; Ric Roman Waugh Directed by: Ric Roman Waugh Angel Has Fallen is the third but definitely not last installment in the Fallen action movie franchise. That there are enough of these movies to justify the word 'franchise' seems an indictment of the American Secret Service. How … Continue reading Angel Has Fallen
