Film Log

I watched 6 feature films in the past 2 days:

***************************

1. 711 Ocean Drive, 1950 Joseph M. Newman, pretty cool film noir starring the always great Edmund O'Brien as a high tech telephone expert who gets sucked into a gambling syndicate and eventually rises to be the kingpin.

2. Monsieur Verdoux, 1947 Charles Chaplin, weird late Chaplin film. A black comedy about a married "bluebeard" who seduces wealthy women, kills them and then steals their money with the original story idea coming from Orson Welles

3. Jonestown: Life and Death of the People's Temple, 2006 Stanley Nelson, amazing but depressing and disturbing documentary about mass murderer Jim Jones

4. Night Moves, 1975 Arthur Penn, great 70's existential noir starring Gene Hackman, riyl The Long Goodbye

5. Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback, 2006 Lucia Palacios and Dietmar Post, (playing at Anthology Film Archives now! till 11/6), awesome documentary about the Monks, go see it

6. W.,  2008 Oliver Stone (saw a mouse in the Union Square theater, filed a complaint) kind of a boring, straight film, not the usual Stone bravado and experimental style, not sure what i think about this one yet ... fantastic performance by the always superb Josh Brolin though.

Barack The Vote is an Obama promo put together by my pals James Kendi and Jon Leone using music by Ratatat.

Philly !

Best Goddamn Cup of Coffee YOU ever had ...

  Abraco Americano, what i get everytime.  Photo: EssG's Flickr

What?  You live in the East Village and you still waste your time drinking that rotgut that MUD serves?  or your head is so far up your ass that you actually patronize Starbucks?  Gimme Coffee?  Gimme a break ... Well if you haven't been to Abrasco yet then your coffee world is about to undergo a major fucking revolution.  Abrasco is about the size of my living room but cranks out the boldest, richest, simplest coffee and espresso this side of an Italian train station.  It pains me to blow up this spot cause the weekend lines are already bad enough but you people need to recognize. Pedestrian coffee drinkers beware - High Octane.

The skinny:  Highly caffeinated, big, bold flavor, not watered down, no burnt beans.
