@TomWIlsonUSA got so sick of questions about Biff Tannen that he wrote and FAQ and even a song to address these burning issues.

Filmage: The Story of Descendents / All

Nostalgic doc that doesn't avoid the realities of being pop punk pioneers. @Descendents.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Diminishing returns for those damn dirty apes, with none of the humanity of ROTPOTA.

RoboCop

Stylish, irony-free remake - lifeless and hampered mainly by the badass cult reputation of the source.

Trailer Park: Filmage - The Story of Descendents/All

The @Descendents documentary is finally out - an all-time CSF favourite band since they roared onto my music radar in the Santa Cruz skate film Street of Fire in 1987 ...though even that was after Milo got back from college.

Buy it now on iTunes (US) or direct from the film's website.

Interstellar

Convoluted, drawn out sci-fi, short on drama. A couple of decent moments, but thoroughly uneven.

Nightcrawler

Electrifying modern thriller. Great script and a breakout turn from Donnie Darko. He's going to be big.

Inside Llewyn Davis

Artful, considered entry from the Coen Brothers. Stylish, but essentially pretty un-engaging.

Brokedown Palace

Poorly directed 90s teen version of Midnight Run. Tension free and utterly forgettable.

The Signal

Slick, trippy indie sci-fi that asks a lot of questions, before tripping a bit too far.

Action or Drama?

Not sure which of these two films to watch this weekend? I recommend the English langauge version. Not a burning skyscraper or rad dad hero in sight.

Goodbye World

Peters Friends meets the apocalypse in this small-scale indie, occasionally boxed in by scope.

Spike Island

Sentimental trample through "Stone Roses - The Musical." Engaging by default.

Gone Girl

Intriguing but drawn out mystery, clinically rendered by David Fincher.

American Hustle

Muddled, derivative dressing up nonsense. Missing the touch of Scorsese, but rescued by De Niro.

Promo Promo: TV on the Radio

Pee-wee enhanced video up for Happy Idiot, from the new TV on the Radio album Seeds, due on November 17th. Also check out Careful You, where Tunde barely scrapes through the Chimpomatic no-singing-in-French rule-of-thumb.

Trailer Park: 21 Years of Richard Linklater

Doc coming about the 'underappreciated' Richard Linklater. Alright, alright, alright.
