I’m not going to add anything to the scholarship on Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy, but holy moly are these films breathtaking. I’d seen Rome, Open City previously, but, no, I really hadn’t.

Jerry O'Connell thesps it up in this Pirahna 3D scene
A friend of mine accused my last article (Kick Ass & Why I Don’t Like Super Hero Movies) of elitism. As if. Snobbery maybe, but elitism? If I were truly a film elitist, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the skin & blood fest that is Piranha 3D.
But for all its faults, I did.

I thought I was so over Michael Cera. My video game skills are only up to the early levels of Super Mario Bros, NES. And I have as much desire to watch hipsters fall in and out of “relationships” for a couple hours as I do to sit through Inception again and see if I’m missing anything. But Edgar Wright’s followup to his keenly observed genre riffs Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz is as dazzling as it is heartfelt.

Hey there TFT fans – some bad news: my wife’s just called and our house in Nashville’s been broken into. Luckily she wasn’t home at the time and is ok – but all of our computers, cameras and many valuables gone, (TFT Archives possibly??). The result of this is that I’m taking the red-eye from Los Angeles back to Nashville tonight to be with her – so there may be some disruption to service ’round here.
Luckily TFT has two great bloggers in Tony Youngblood and Brandon Nowalk so there should be some interesting posts coming up this week; plus you’ll know if you’already listened to our current ep that next week’s show will be a repeat. We should have a new podcast up and running after episode 141. Many thanks for your support during this crappy time.
