The classic comedy Tootsie barely missed the cut for inclusion in my Revisiting 1982 series (next edition of that coming up tonight), but I thought I would see the film anyway as this month’s blindspot film, especially since the film will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in about a month. I always knew Tootsie as…
If there was a horror film that I was apprehensive about seeing, it was The Exorcist. You could partially attribute this to the fact that I’m a practicing Catholic and don’t believe that the subject of demonic possession and exorcisms should be treated lightly. However, as I’ve seen other horror films about exorcism in recent…
For this month’s blindspot film, I am choosing a release that is only three years old. I highly regretted missing out on the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man when it was released in 2009, especially after the film went on to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. I suppose that I missed out on…

It’s the summer movie season, so why not use the blindspot series to catch up with some mindless popcorn flicks? Since Men in Black III was just released last weekend, I figured that I would hit the rewind button and check out the film that fully transitioned Will Smith from a sitcom star/rapper to a full…
Here is my first post for the Blindspot series, in which I will finally get around to seeing the films that I have been really meaning to see. Wes Anderson is definitely one of the most quirky and interesting independent directors to surface in the last 15 years or so. I’ve seen nearly every one…
