watched Dec 30, 2017 spitballarmy’s review published on Letterboxd: 9.2 [blu-ray] Wow. The portion of this film that most closely resembles the previous work of Bill Morrison (such as DECASIA) comes at the very end and is relatively brief. But it is a dramatic coda to a “you wouldn’t believe it if I told you” […]

watched Dec 29, 2017 spitballarmy’s review published on Letterboxd: 4.1 [DVD, Netflix] Quaint and slight and redeemed in small measure by a chase through an over-abundant record shop – the record stacks completely out-classed the chase.

watched Dec 24, 2017 spitballarmy’s review published on Letterboxd: 6.5 [HBO] Six Sondheim songs are singled out to represent the breadth of his career, and they are each recreated in collaborations by contemporary singers and filmmakers. But none of them hold a candle to the extended clip of Dean Jones completely inhabiting “Being Alive,” from […]

watched Dec 23, 2017 spitballarmy’s review published on Letterboxd: 7.3 [blu-ray, Redbox] Because it wears its campy intentions proudly for all to see, KINGSMAN 2 is a heck of a lot of fun. Nothing serious to see here, and Elton John gets to sit around and say “fuck” a lot.
