Movie Review: Frankenweenie
4 stars out of 5 Before Frankenstorm, I saw Frankenweenie. In 3-D with pretzel nuggets and a large root beer. (Well, hell, if it’s the last time I ever go to the movies….) Have I mentioned that I am a Tim Burton fan? Oh, I have? Well, I still am. I liked his first movie […]

Meatball Sandwich Review: Spring Street Natural
Truth is, I don’t go to a lot of places with “Natural” in their names. There’s a Korean grocery in Hoboken, Natural + Plus, that I used to frequent quite a bit—my old roommate and I called it “The Natch.” And I’ve consistently gone to Soho’s Spring Street Natural a few times a year since […]
Movie Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
3.5 stars out of 5 This is a pretty good movie that maybe could’ve been a terrific movie with a little intervention and pruning. It’s based on some best-selling young-adult book that I never heard of. The screenplay was written by the author, and for good measure, he directed it too. Hey, look at me, […]

DVD Review: Keyhole
3.5 stars out of 5 I don’t normally review DVDs but this had a very short theatrical run so back off, OK? I am somewhat obsessed with the films of Guy Maddin, insane genius from the north. If you’ve never seen one of his movies, I don’t think this is the place to start. I […]
