Movies
Through A Glass Darkly Outside looking in.
Garden State of Mind
I found this movie very touching. It starts off quite surreal, but it gradually warms up and really grabs you by the end. Zach Braff did a fantastic job of portraying Andrew Largeman’s disconnection with life and the strange and wonderful journey he takes to get back into it.
Under the Tuscan Sun
Under the Tuscan Sun spoke to me of sun-warmed fields, good food, and great companions. It made me wish that I was the sort of person who could drop everything and go live in Italy.

Some of stories were written or outlined by the Wachowski brothers and […]
The Ice Storm
The Ice Storm is a movie about family. It’s about the people who tear us apart and put us back together. Not a lot actually “happens” in this haunting Ang Lee film threaded through with images of ice. The ice storm itself is a major event, but it’s only secondary to the true meaning of […]
Brian Takle examines The Matrix Reloaded in detail
Check out this really in-depth analysis of The Matrix Reloaded.
