Apocalypse, Incest, Murder, Bigamy, Christmas: A Week Chez Goatdog
9 looks great; I only wish the screenplay had been as good as the animation.
Precious is earth-shattering; I only wish the direction had been as good as the performances.
The Screwfly Solution is nothing to write home about, but someone needs to make a movie about the lady who wrote it.
The Bigamist is a surprisingly open-minded film given its release date; I only wish Ida Lupino hadn't waited more than a decade before she directed again.
And Scrooge is the best Christmas movie ever made. Or close to it.
