Johnny California: Thoughts on ROOM 237

 by JB

We all know what an ill-conceived shit-fest writer/director Rodney Ascher’s “documentary” Room 237 is. Look at it, sitting there, hardly watched since it escaped Ascher’s colon eleven years ago.

Every movie has an ending. Sometimes you just have to choose for yourself.

Riske Business: Room 237 and The Shining

I am a big admirer of The Shining. While I am watching it, I am often convinced it is the greatest horror movie ever made. This past weekend, I re-watched The Shining to coincide with the release of a new documentary claiming to be 'An Inquiry Into The Shining in 9 Parts,' called Room 237. I had seen Room 237 already at the Chicago International Film Festival, and something just bothered me about it. I couldn’t figure out what. I knew I would give Room 237 another chance when it was officially released. In my re-watching of both movies, I liked The Shining more than I ever have and I’m ready to call Room 237 one of the worst movies I’ve seen so far this year. It’s a completely dishonest movie.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (Feb. 15)

Kind of a shitty week for trailers (sorry in advance!) so let's talk about something else. Anyone out there see A Good Day to Die Hard? If so, what did you think? Because it looks like garbage. Is it? IS IT GARBAGE? Look, I do trailerz here, not feature-length movies, so I'm counting on you people to fill me in. DON'T LET ME DOWN.
