I am sure this is a more naturally occurring phenomenon than I realize, but the marquee at the multiplex is currently hosting a load of generic film titles right now. This is no commentary on the movies, but it is a bit uninspired.

Cop Out

Valentine’s Day

Crazy Heart

Dear John

Tooth Fairy

Edge of Darkness

The Blind Side

When in Rome

Can you tell what are ANY of these movies about based on the titles?

They remind me of Seinfeld movie titles: Prognosis: Negative, Chunnel, Blame it on the Rain, Rochelle, Rochelle, Brown Eyed Girl, Firestorm, Ponce De Leon, Mountain High, Checkmate, Agent Zero, Sack Lunch, Death Blow, The Muted Heart.

Which ones did I miss? Oh yea, The English Patient. Who would believe a movie could be called that?

Here is a link to some recent Marquee posts.  Doesn’t it seem that there has been a lack of quality new films recently?  I haven’t been out much. I guess I have been sweating to the 80s.

 I recently had the opportunity to interview a lesbian couple who posed as man and wife to infiltrate a Evangelical Organization. The two made a documentary about their experience which premiers at the Loft Tuesday, February 16th at 7:30 PM.

Here is a link to the entire interview.

Faith of the Abomination

 There are two new releases on this week’s show that we’ll be playing as nauseum in the coming months:

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS: I Wanna Go Home- (1-2-3-4-Go!) -Good bastardized ’50s pop sensibility. 

Currently working on full reviews.

Until then:
