Bashing the hell out of the lamest studio crap; Finding new indies to love and support; Earning the trust of the internet's most ravenous core of film feeks.
About me: Birthed in 1999 by a bunch of Kevin Smith fans who wanted a place to post their own funny, honest, and entertaining movie reviews, eFilmCritic (and its sister site, HollywoodBitchslap) has since grown up to become one of the net's shining beacons of intelligent, insightful, and snark-laden film criticism. We do what we do because we love movies, we hate junket-whores, and we adore getting emails like "Thanks for recommending May! That movie rocked!"
I will be performing at The Moose Lodge, (2103 E.M Franklin Ave. - Austin, TX), this Sunday, Dec. 21st. This is going to be a very fun night of music and food... and it's FREE!
The doors open at 5:00pm. There is going to be a potluck, so bring a hot or cold dish to share if you wish. Also, there is going to be a cardigan competition, so wear your favorite/ugliest cardigan and you might win a fabulous prize!
ALSO, some very excellent bands are playing, including Attic Ted, (who I personally feel is one of the baddest-ass bands in Texas), The Pillow Queens, and Jacob Goldberg.
The Bassturd opens the show at 7:00 pm sharp. I will be joined by Hermes, Imy DJ friend). We have a great set planned, complete with some brand-new material.
"Tis the season to get drunk at the 'ol Moose Lodge. I sincerely hope to see you all there.
REVIEW for ‘SECRETS KEPT’ the script from 'FOR THE LOVE OF THE KILL' title by Chau Van Truong.
Dear Chau, Reading ‘SECRETS KEPT’ the script, I’m enthralled in the love story of William and Cass with its gripping descriptive and the reality based scenes you have created. In Act 1, I’m frozen in horror. In Act 2, I’m in a conundrum of plotting to kill or forgive Eric for his butchery. In Act 3, my eyes are red from crying when William and Cass reunite that I found such elation I’ve yet to have in my life. I couldn’t believe that a script could lift me up so high and inspire me to believe that I someday can meet a man like William. This is my excuse to write to you. I have a question I wanted to ask Chau Van Truong. If you’re truly him, please tell me that you’re in-love when you wrote ‘SECRETS KEPT’ the script. It’s wonderfully detail from a woman’s insight and perspective, not a man. This script is better than Spark’s, Notebook. I know people in the industry and I will help get this on the screen because the audiences worldwide need to experience the romance of William and Cass in ‘SECRETS KEPT’ the script. Thank you. Thank you very much from a woman that found her heart reading your story. Michelle.

I'm just dropping by, because I thought you (and possibly your friends) might get a kick out of this:
Synopsized below is one of the 1,000 films covered in my book, Animal Movies Guide. It was released last month, and it's doing really well so far! (Details at Amazon, or my blog) If you'd like a review copy, please contact me directly and I'll hook you up.
Strays 1991, horror and suspense
“They have nine lives. We only have one.” That’s the tagline for this not-so-scary horror movie about some very bad cats living in the basement of the newly-acquired home of the Jarrett family (Timothy Busfield, Kathleen Quinlan, and twins Jessica and Heather — the latter of whom went on, ironically, to star in a naughty-type movie called Cybersex Kittens). We never do learn why these cats are so mad and murderous, but they’re good at what they do. The industrious pusses manage to cut off the phone service, open vents, and murder the family’s hapless hound.
And don't forget...
