Yeah, It’s Creepy: “The Purge” at the Inaugural Stanley Film Festival
Last weekend was the inaugural Stanley Film Festival, a four-day fright fest held in the legendary Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. Apart from spooking scores of guests since its opening over a century ago, this historically haunted hotel was the inspiration behind Stephen King’s The Shining — making it the perfect site for a...
Skate Fete: Alice in Ice Land & Additional Disney Dizziness
Just call me an Alice completist. I have seen at least ten to fifteen different film and television versions of Lewis Carroll’s “hare-y” tales (bet you didn’t know Meryl Streep channeled her inner child on Broadway once). So it was only fitting that I took in the Disney on Ice adaptation last night–goddaughter and Denver...
The Reel Deal: Paul Reiser Q&A
When Paul Reiser comes to mind, it’s hard not to think of Paul Buchman, the yin to Helen Hunt’s yang on the wonderfully honest and hilarious sitcom, “Mad About You.” Or Carter Burke, the diabolical corporate lackey that nearly terminates the entire human species in James Cameron’s Aliens. Or the hapless Detroit detective slyly covering...
Highbrow/Lowbrow: Spring Nightmare
Highbrow/Lowbrow: A weekly update on Denver culture from deliciously fancy to wonderfully mundane STATUS: Lowbrow WHAT: “Spring Breakers” In the midst of the film industry wasteland, the months between the holiday releases and the summer box office hits comes “Spring Breakers,” directed by the eccentric Harmony Korine. The preview for “Spring Breakers” plays like this:...
Chasing Truth: Derek Cianfrance
Dressed in jeans and a snuggly blue flannel, filmmaker Derek Cianfrance could not be any more unassuming. His voice is soft, quizzical, almost childlike, and his blue-grey gaze hints at an inner uncertainty. He seems surprised to find himself sitting at a booth at the Four Seasons—and maybe he is, considering he landed in Denver...
Highbrow/Lowbrow: Alamo Drafthouse Opening Location in Aspen Grove
Highbrow/Lowbrow: A weekly update on Denver culture from deliciously fancy to wonderfully mundane STATUS: Delicious mix of both highbrow and lowbrow WHAT: Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas A year ago in San Antonio, I stumbled into what I now think of as the greatest movie theater ever built. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a “theater for movie fans, by...
Highbrow/lowbrow: J’adore Amour
Highbrow/Lowbrow: A weekly update on Denver culture from deliciously fancy to wonderfully mundane STATUS: Highbrow FILM: Amour, Chez Artiste My father considers himself somewhat of a cinema aficionado. We both share a deep love of films and often head to the Chez Artiste on a Sunday morning for the latest art film du jour. When...
Watch This: Bless Me, Ultima
Bless Me, Ultima is Rudolfo Anaya’s novel about Antonio Márez, a young Mexican-American boy coming of age in New Mexico during WWII, and Ultima, the curandera or healer, that comes to live with him and his family. In the years since its initial publication in 1972, Anaya’s novel has become a cornerstone of Chicano literature...
You Tubin’: Dance-Centric Web Series The GoGo Life Debuts
“This scene’s on the verge of breaking out mainstream.” Even though the trailers for Zerosun Pictures’ new web series The GoGo Life didn’t start dropping until two weeks ago, Ms Easy’s prediction about the future of the genre was probably made almost two years ago (when principal photography began). Easy, Creative Director for Denver’s Beta...
The Reel Deal: Bobcat Goldthwait Q&A
Make no mistake about it, Bobcat Goldthwait isn’t particularly fond of nostalgia. Memories of a loud, trembling on stage persona? Twisted Sister and all those hair bands? Or those silly 80s movies, like One Crazy Summer, Hot to Trot, and Police Academy? Good riddance. Bobcat Goldthwait – Comedy Central “I know that most people only...
Hindsight: Moonwalking Through Sundance
Even bald men get a wild hair once in awhile. It happened to me recently. Last Thursday, former Denverite Nathan Leite mentioned he was performing at Sundance, Hollywood’s annual snow ball in Park City, Utah (my pink dreadlocked friend Bambu was due to go-go too). It just so happens I’d been jonesing to return ever...
