T-Town Adventures

Here are the pics from our Tacoma Adventure last weekend. I heart the King's Inn.

Pay for Play

So yesterday morning, my assistant and I interviewed the child stars of Bridge to Terabithia, Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb. They were really sweet, kind of cool kids despite the fact that AnnaSophia has a bit of that tiny 40-year-old woman vibe. In the afternoon, I returned to find a box of DVDs on my [...]

Weekend Recap

FRIDAY Brugos and I met The Gang Which Has So Many Members It Desperately Needs an All Encompassing Nickname at the Big Time Brewery for some drinks before we went to our respective movies. They were going to see Day Watch at SIFF. I'd seen Night Watch and mostly enjoyed it, but Brugos hadn't seen [...]

Movie Review: Knocked Up

“Knocked Up” is the next film from the creators of the sleeper hit, “The Forty-Year-Old Virgin”. Most of the same team is there including Writer/Director Judd Apatow, and improv geniuses, Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. This time, there is no Steve Carell to steal the show. And, that, I think, is what makes “Knocked Up” [...]

SIFF Film Review: The Future is Unwritten

It must be incredibly difficult to make a documentary about your friend. Especially if your friend died reasonably young and happened to be one of the Founding Fathers of a musical movement. Julien Temple’s “Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten” is remarkably objective and concise for being a touching tribute to such an important man. [...]

SIFF Film Review: The Ten

“The Ten” is written by the same team responsible for one of my favorite comedies of all time, “Wet Hot American Summer”. You might also know these folks from an old MTV sketch comedy show called “The State”. Some of the alumni went on to make “Reno 911″ and another sort of surrealistic comedy troupe [...]

SIFF Film Review: Death at a Funeral

One of the millions of reasons I love living in Seattle, and one of the main reasons I moved here in the first place (11 years ago!) was because of the independent film scene. It used to be that the Seattle International Film Festival contributed a great deal to this scene by bringing small independent [...]

A Mark Meme!

It is a rare and joyous occasion when MarkTapioKines creates a meme! 1. In five words or less, describe what you do for a living. (Don't be cute.) Load streaming video content reeltime.com. 2. If you were worth $40 billion and had already bought and donated everything you wanted to, would you spend $40 million [...]

Random Memeness

If I were a doll, the accessories packaged with me would be: Removable winter coat, large satchel, bottle of vodka, graphic novel, wooden stake. (I imagine the doll version of me is a vampire slayer.) I have an irrational fear of: Getting stuck in an elevator. Made less rational by the fact that the elevators [...]
