Strangers in the Night
Before Sunrise is not a horror movie. It’s mainly a character study of two 20-somethings in the ’90’s. They meet on a train, and get off in Vienna. He’s returning to the US on the next morning’s flight. She’s on … Continue reading
With a Nail and Eye
Withnail and I apparently takes place in October 1969. It’s sort of like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which takes place in 1971. In fact, I can see Johnny Depp playing Withnail, behaving much as he did playing Hunter … Continue reading
I’m Always Racing Stripes
Racing Stripes is a truly strange film from 2005. It’s one of those live action movies where the animals talk as long as no humans are around. The special effects for their lips moving is pretty good. The goat seems eerily real. The … Continue reading
Aftershave Afterburners
Wow, I spend a lot of time talking about hygiene, huh? Like decent aftershave. Aftershave should smell fresh and exciting, for about 3-1/2 minutes. Then it should go away and leave me alone. I don’t want to smell it any … Continue reading
The Soap Stops Here
Previously on Lyle Verbilion’s From What I Can Tell: Some day I will post a review of brands of bar soap that I have known and loved. For the impatient, Skin Trip Coconut and Dr. Bronner’s Eucalyptus are my faves. … Continue reading
Man of Paper
I’m on this Jeff Daniels kick, apparently. Do you realize that he’s been in almost everything? Paper Man is about this guy who was probably once a paperboy, and got stuck. Even though he’s married and getting older, he’s been … Continue reading
It’s a gas Gas GAS!
Self-serve gas stations do not exist in New Jersey and Oregon. Gas stations there actually pay people to pump your gas. I don’t know why. Across the rest of America, self-serve alone survives. It used to be every gas station … Continue reading
Some Are 11
My wife likes to watch the Lifetime Movie Network. It’s not often that I can stomach it. The shows are so formulaic, and they do nothing to hide it. There is one jot of creativity per movie, usually involving the … Continue reading
My Dear Lemon Lima
It kind of reminds me of Rushmore, but the Max Fischer-type character isn’t the hero. And it’s definitely quirkier. I ususally like quirkier. This is one of those times. It also kind of reminds me of Revenge of the Nerds, … Continue reading
Ray’s Sunglasses
Shades of Ray is an amazing indie comedy. You will recognize every one of the characters. And the situations that they’re in will resonate with your life. It will all seem very familiar, even if you aren’t half-Pakistani. Basically, the … Continue reading
