X-files review (right click OR click)

We talk about the TV show and films and the nature of sci-fi on television and the problematic aspects of telling a convoluted story while still trying to deliver a dramatic narrative that has closure, etc.  But mostly this episode is about Krycek.

Cliffhanger review (right click OR click)

This is a good one.  I’m sure Nikil and the boys and N+1 have got quite the opinion on the portrayl of soccer players, esspecially strikers.  He/they might want to check out this article written by Jay over at Filmjunk.  It might remind Nikil about something he may have overlooked as his career as a film critic started booming.

This is my student film that I made back in 2005.  It’s a You Tube sized version that is compressed literally and figuratively.

It feels like when you’re toes are cold then suddenly very warm it burns like that.
