Day 5 of the Philadelphia Film Festival
Today I only managed to catch one film. This was due to having to catch up on some work at home and it was probably the strangest film I have yet to see at the festival so far.
The film is called UNDERWATER LOVE and it a Japanese Pink Musical. If you’re not up on your exploitation genres pink is the equivalent to American softcore the only difference is pink films are still shot on film and...

Day 4 of the Philadelphia Film Festival
Day 4 was sadly only a double feature. I started the night with the Mexican film MISS BALA. Now I had seen bits on MISS BALA online, but it wasn’t on my must see list to be honest. It definitely turned out to be a pleasant surprise about 30 minutes in when I was hooked on its gritty portrayal of a girl trying to be a beauty queen in the drug cartel infested state of Baja California.

Day 3 of the Philadelphia Film Festival
For my day 3 I had three films on my schedule starting at 2pm on Sunday with the black and white South Korean film THE DAY HE ARRIVES.
The film directed by Sang-soo Hong, was about a director who has made 4 films, retired and is now teaching at a small school in the country. The film chronicles his 4-day visit to Seoul where the director, Seong-Jin is there to see a friend and possibly stir...

Day 2 of the Philadelphia Film Festival
Today is day 2 of the Philadelphia Film Festival or was for that matter. I checked out 2 films today that were part of the festival and one that was not. The two I saw that were part of the festival was JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI and A DANGEROUS METHOD; I also caught the screening of ZOMBIE as well that was part of the Ritz at the Bourse Late Night Program.
I was originally going to check out...

Day 1 of the Philadelphia Film Festival
Today was day 1 of the Philadelphia Film Festival and was not a great start to be honest.
The first film on my agenda was the controversial erotic drama directed by Steve McQueen, about a sex addict starring Michael Fassbender titled SHAME. The film essentially deals with how Michael’s character Brandon deals with his affliction, while trying to appear normal to those around him.

Friday Night the Tables Turned....
Tonight at a screening of Human Centipede 2 of all films I was witness to probably one of the greatest acts of theatergoer valor ever displayed in my humble opinion. During the entire film one guy laughed obnoxiously and yelled at the screen exposing us all to his insipid inner monologue. Quite a few people yelled at him and told him to shut up and use his inside voice, but he persisted...

Exhumed Films 24 Hour Horror-thon V Comes to the...
The Halloween event of the year for Philadelphia genre fans is back with its fifth installment, the Exhumed Films 24 Hour Horror-thon at the iHouse. While there will still be 24 hours of great horror and genre programming this year in gloriously grimy 35mm, quite few things are changing with this year’s installment of the Horror-thon.
The first change? VIP seating at a small premium cost....

No Secrets on the Internet: The Fall of Sucker...
Once upon a time, before the internet: if a film was horrible the distributor would have at least one good opening weekend to recoup their loses on as many screens as they possibly could play their film. Now thanks to twitter and the web in general, word of mouth spreads at the speed of light and can kill a dud before it even opens at your local mulitplex.
Take Sucker Punch for example, word...

This made me a little weepy.
Love Hate Relationships
It’s become quite the situation between me and my iPhone on one hand I love the device that has changed my life, on the other hand it drops 3-4 calls and a week, and gets horrible reception at my job. It’s gotten so bad I have to charge the phone twice a day because the iPhone drains itself in a matter of hours looking for a signal during the day.
Then you have my iPad, which...
Thank you for stealing my pictures!
I love finding my photos on other people’s websites, it’s such a fun surprise. I know some people like to lock their stuff down, but I could give a shit what happens to my photos; because otherwise they would just sit on my Flickr page doing nothing for nobody.

Take a break from the Con and spend some quality time with the Geekadelphia Crew comparing notes about the convention thus far. It’s a great chance to meet some of our newest writers, and to...

Night of the Dying E-Readers
In one of those Friday nights that really didn’t surprise me at all; first my iPad decided it was going to crash mysteriously while I was watching a video on the EVO.(I think it was jealous) It just shut off and flashed up the Apple symbol you see on startup. I tried to turn it off and on , it simply hung on the Apple logo for about 2 minutes. I tried that like 4 more times, and it still...
