The Bad Seed

by Mervyn LeRoy

Oh, how could I have let this one go without an entry? I watched this on the night before Halloween and of course movie pseudoscience was in full force! Including some spirited discussions about nature vs. nurture! Even though the filmmakers seem to decide that you can’t escape genetics, in the end credits we see poor, putupon Mrs. Penmark give little Rhonda the nice, solid spanking the girl was so (excuse the pun) sorely in need of. Bizuh?! And hee!

A story about "Tortilla Flat"

Tortilla Flat

by John Steinbeck

This is more of a note than an entry on a book I expect to enjoy: I bought this from the trusty Abelard Books on Queen St., which is right across the street from Tortilla Flat, the restaurant. Other than that, I’ve always heard much made of Steinbeck’s (semi-?)humorous writings, so let’s see if this one impresses.

A story about "The Master and Margarita"

The Master and Margarita

by Mikhail Bulgakov

Allconsuming informs me that I began reading this book a whopping 37 weeks ago. I know nobody puts much stock in the words of a girl who takes 37 weeks to read a mere 335 pages of a trade paperback, but this is indeed an excellent book.

Never Let Me Go (Alex Awards (Awards))

The best new fiction I’ve read this year.

A story about "Gimme Fiction"

Gimme Fiction

by Spoon

My initial thought is that it’s nowhere as good as Kill the Moonlight, or even Girls Can Tell. Perhaps I’ll change my mind as I listen to it more …

A story about "Capturing the Friedmans"

Capturing the Friedmans

by Andrew Jarecki

I watched this in the theatre during the time Andrew Jarecki was initially promoting his film, way back in 03-04. Rewatching it with the extra footage? It’s still as powerful and ambiguous as ever. Was Jesse wrongfully accused? Perhaps we will never know.
