Comments Off on Scott Pilgrim Vs. The August Recess
NYC Film Critic is taking an early August break, but before I go I’m leaving you with a batch of reviews for movies opening over the next two weeks, including my take on Edgar Wright’s much-anticipated (by me at least) Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, along with capsules of smaller releases like Get Low and Tirador. Last but not least, I’ve also included my mid-year status report listing my favorite movies of 2010 so far. As Scott Pilgrim might say, it’s an epic column full of epicness.

Comments Off on A Pilgrim’s Tale
One of the best things about this gig is the opportunity to speak with filmmakers whose work I admire and enjoy. Folks like Guillermo Del Toro, Terry Gilliam, Nick Park and now Edgar Wright, who directed the brilliant comedies Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and is currently awaiting the release of his latest opus, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, based on the comic book of the same name. The movie has its coming out party at Comic-Con in San Diego this weekend and goes into general release on August 13. You can read all about the movie and its director in my just-published feature story over at Film Journal.
