movie geek is go!

a couple of confessions, actually. the first one is the obvious one- i haven't posted anything here for like, almost a solid week now. d'oh! the second is: this whole blog has gotten waaaay out of hand for me. see, i have definite obsessive tendencies with my personality- i tend to get very...

once more into the breach! it seems only fair, after all, that following a week where you had to wait three days to get your first movie geek fix, you should end up with at least one a day early. and if you're seeing all these in one big chunk, for crap's sake, pace yourself! save one for the...

yikes- movie geek's getting winded. this catching up stuff gets to you after awhile... anyway, on to the foreign film limbo pick. i was of two minds on this one: on the one hand, i could discuss Pedro Almodovar's oscar winning Talk to Her, which, though i respect a great deal in terms of overall...

and now, le moment of truth: as you no doubt recall from yesterday, movie geek faced a decision regarding this week's theme, based on Leatherheads being a comedy of a 1. romantic 2. sports and 3. nostalgic fashion. decisions, decisions... and when you make a tough call like this, you should usually...

for those just joining us, Leatherheads was the movie i checked out this weekend. Leatherheads marks the third feature directed by uber star George Clooney, the first being confessions of a dangerous mind, the second being Good night and good luck. movie geek was excited to check this film out- i...
