Fantastic Fest has been over for a week, and it’s taken me this long to recover well enough to finish up my posts about it. I already posted about some of the final day’s shenanigans; here are the rest. NORTHWEST Dir. Michael Noer I’m usually cold toward films that don’t …
Once again, A Reel Education will be recording an episode LIVE at the Parkway Theater!

I just survived the Fantastic Fest 2013 closing night party. I’ll get around to movie reviews later. For now, I have a deep need for you to see what I saw last night. I have a new truism for life: stuntmen know how to party.
