Stuff Iâm Looking Forward to in October
How are we now in the 4th quarter of 2021 already? In addition to Columbus Day (Oct. 11), Indigenous Peoplesâ Day (Oct. 11), and Halloween (Oct. 31), here is whatâs on my radar this month:
Movies:Â
The Many Saints of Newark
The Sopranos was one of the greatest TV shows ever made! Hands down. Now, the unthinkable has happened: creator David Chase is returning with a prequel of the Soprano crime family in the late 60s NJ! Opens in theaters and on HBO Max on 10/1.
No Time to Die
Itâs Daniel Craigâs last James Bond movie. Iâve been looking forward to this since it was originally set for an April 2020 release. Now opening 10/8.
Halloween Kills
2018â˛s Halloween sequel was the best Halloween film since the 1978 original. By setting the reset button on the franchise it was a gamble that paid off. I named it my #9 Movie of 2018. Now director David Gordon Green and star Jamie Lee Curtis are returning, along with John Carpenter composing an original score. Film opens in theaters and Peacock on 10/15.
The Last Duel
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have not starred in and co-written a movie together since Good Will Hunting in 1997. They collaborated on this historic drama with co-write Nicole Holofcener and Ridley Scott directs. Opens 10/15.
The French Dispatch
A Wes Anderson movie is always an event and this is his first live action film since The Grand Budapest Hotel! Opens 10/22.
Last Night in Soho
Edgar Wright is one of the most exciting directors of the last 20 years. He makes films that on the surface seem like parodies of their genre and then you realize he loves that genre and is making something exciting within it, i.e. Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver. His new one is a horror-mystery in swinginâ 1960s London. Opens 10/29.
Music:
The Beatles Let It Be Special Edition
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the final studio album released by The Beatles. To coincide with Peter Jacksonâs upcoming documentary about the album, there are a number of special editions. Iâll have an album review up soon. Album release 10/15.
Lana Del Rey Blue BanistersÂ
LDRâs second album of 2021 will be dropping on 10/22.
The Replacements Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash Deluxe Edition
This year marks the 40th anniversary of The Matsâ debut album. To celebrate, there is a box set with tons of trinkets, demos, rarities, and live recordings. Box set drops 10/22.
TV:
Curb Your EnthusiasmÂ
The 2020 season of Curb was my #2 Show of 2020. Rumor has it, the new season takes place after the pandemic. Canât wait. Season 11 begins 10/24 on HBO.
Books:
Dave Grohl The Storyteller
Grohl could easily write an entire book just about Scream...or Nirvana...or Foo Fighters...or his many collaborations with his musical heroes...or his music documentaries. But instead he has written his entire memoir in this new book being released on 10/5.
Film Festivals:
Salem Horror Fest (10/1 - 10/22)
This yearâs Salem Horror Fest will have both in-person and virtual programs. Here is my recent Preview and stay tuned for coverage.
Nightstream (10/7-10/13)
Last year four distinct genre film festivals (including Boston Underground Film Festival) came together to curate a genre festival online. It went so well they are all back this year. Stay turned for my coverage.
IFFBoston Fall Focus (10/20-10/24)
My favorite film festival is Independent Film Festival Boston, which takes place in the Spring. This past May the festival happened virtually after taking off 2020. IFFBostonâs mini-fest Fall Focus happens in the Fall to showcase some of the Fall festival darlings. This year it is happening in-person at the Brattle, the first IFFBoston in-person screening since 2019 Fall Focus.!
Recently Viewed: Five Features from Nightstream Film Festival
This weekend, I decided to get into the spirit of the Halloween season by buying a five-movie access pass for Nightstream, a (supposedly) horror-themed online film festival founded during the more chaotic days of the Covid-19 pandemic. And although none of my selections were quite as⌠traditional as Iâd hoped, they certainly sated my appetite for unique cinematic experiences.
Alien on Stage: In this documentary from first-time directors Danielle Kummer and Lucy Haley, a troupe of Dorset bus drivers turned actors take their stage adaptation of Ridley Scottâs Alien from their sleepy community theatre all the way to Londonâs West End (with more than a little help from an enormously successful Kickstarter campaign). While the amateur thespiansâ plain, weathered looks and quaint, small-town mannerisms (even Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg couldnât have invented fictional characters this endearingly quirky) threaten to make them easy targets for mean-spirited mockery, their infectious enthusiasm and obvious passion (particularly when it comes to the charmingly low-budget, do-it-yourself special effects) transform them into quintessential underdog heroes. Their gradual evolution from ordinary blue-collar workers into unlikely internet celebrities perfectly encapsulates the tribulations and triumphs of the creative processâthe overinflated egos, the pre-show anxiety, and the transcendent joy of finally performing in front of a live audience.
Mad God: Developed by VFX wizard Phil Tippett (best known for his contributions to Jurassic Park and the Star Wars franchise) over a period of thirty-four yearsâand good Lord, is that effort ever evident in every single frame!âthis mixed-media (stop-motion animation, live-action, miniatures, puppetry, and occasional CGI) masterpiece is borderline indescribable. Imagine if Dante Alighieri, Ray Harryhausen, David Lynch, Jim Henson, H. P. Lovecraft, H. R. Giger, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Ed Wood collaborated on a project after dropping a metric shit-ton of acid; that should give you at least some idea of what to expect from the tone and visual style of this cinematic fever dream. Tippett relentlessly assaults the viewer with surreal, abstract, haunting imagery: barren industrial wastelands and enigmatic ruins dripping with filth, entrails, and excrementâhellish monuments to decay, despair, and death. The minimalistic, episodic narrative is, of course, entirely allegoricalâthough Iâll be damned if I can discern any semblance of âmeaningâ after just one viewing. And to be honest⌠I have no real desire to fully comprehend it. Sometimes, attempting to interpret a work of art in concrete terms is akin to swimming against the current; in this case, I found it more enjoyable to simply go with the flow.
Code Name: Nagasaki - This intimate, innovative, genre-bending documentary chronicles a young Norwegian manâs efforts to reestablish a relationship with his Japanese mother twenty-seven years after she abandoned his family. Over the course of his journey, subject/co-director Marius Lunde, an actor by trade, inhabits a variety of roles and archetypesâincluding samurai, hard-boiled detective, demonic beast, and average salarymanâin a series of stylized, dramatic vignettes intended to symbolize his turbulent emotional state. This intricate interplay between âtruthâ and âfictionââutilizing the artificiality of familiar cinematic tropes as a means of confronting very real traumaâelegantly ties into the filmâs underlying themes. Lundeâs desire for parental affection is, after all, merely a small facet of his search for his own identity; he frequently muses that he feels like a stranger in his motherâs homeland, surrounded by people that superficially resemble him, but with whom he shares little of substance in common. Beneath its deeply personal narrative, Code Name: Nagasaki challenges the viewer to contemplate what ultimately defines a human being (Culture? Ethnicity? DNA?)âan existential conundrum that propels the movie into the realm of the universal.
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes: From the surprisingly delightful One Cut of the Dead to the irredeemably disappointing Crazy Samurai: 400 vs. 1, Japanese cinema has become increasingly obsessed with 1917-esque âcontinuous shotsâ (or reasonable imitations thereof) in recent years. Although this sci-fi flavored comedy isnât the best use of the notoriously flamboyant technique, it definitely ranks among the most clever, due to how seamlessly it marries craft and contentâbecause the story revolves around âtime travel,â itâs only logical to allow the plot to unfold in âreal time.â The novel premiseâa mild-mannered cafĂŠ owner discovers that he can communicate with his future self via an inverted two-minute video delay between his computer and television set, but must then perfectly reenact every predetermined conversation from the other side of the loop in order to avoid creating a temporal paradox (an unexpectedly complex meditation on the nature of fatalism and inevitability, considering the otherwise lighthearted tone)âlends itself to both humor and suspense, while the deliberately modest production values (a single location, iPhone cinematography, available lighting) prevent the filmmakers from letting their ambitions exceed their budget. Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes is the first feature-length movie produced by the Europe Kikaku theatre group; after such an impressive debut, Iâll be watching their careers with great interest.
Satoshi Kon: The Illusionist - On August 24, 2010, acclaimed animator Satoshi Kon died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 46, leaving his final film, Dreaming Machine, incomplete and unreleased. As tempting as it may be to mourn the loss of another potential masterpiece, however, this documentary instead chooses to celebrate the legacy that the director did leave behind, outlining his entire career through talking-head interviews with his colleagues, peers, and the generation of artists that he influenced. And unlike similar âcelebrity profileâ filmsâsay, for instance, Mifune: The Last Samuraiâit isnât afraid to acknowledge its subjectâs flaws and blemishes; several of Konâs former coworkers, for example, admit that although he encouraged creativity and experimentation, his perfectionism and uncompromising vision often alienated his staffâa common trait among âgeniusesâ and âauteurs.â All in all, Satoshi Kon: The Illusionist is a lovely tributeâalbeit one thatâs occasionally guilty of preaching to the converted.
Face your childhood fears with The Nurturing. My new horror short is now streaming for free. Itâs only 7 minutes!
I directed from a script that I co-wrote with Michael Perkins. Anthony Gaudette, Marty Smith, and Hannah Fierman (V/H/S) star.Â
After an injury lands Daniel back in his childhood bedroom under the care of his mother, his adolescent fear returns to haunt him.
Despite the pandemic, The Nurturing was able to play some really cool virtual events, including Nightstream. I'm happy to make it available to everyone now, and I hope to get back on the festival circuit in person as soon as it's safe.
Here's a little sneak peek of the animatic I'm working on about my ocs: Willowtail and Sabbatia! (bonus other random cats, Hazelpelt and Nightstream)
It's been a long, long time since I made my last animatic, but it's the first time I've tried to make a full-length one and about my original beans. (I'm super excited to have this complete soon!)
Also, sorry for my dumb doodles, the final version will be cleaned and coloured!
