Some people are dedicated to their craft on a level I can’t even comprehend, and I’ll never stop having respect for those crazy so and so’s.

I think it’s probably a sign of the times for the long-running animated series when The Simpsons only remains within the cultural discussion for its guest-directed couch gags.

It’s interesting that King Creole is rarely brought up when discussing either the films of director Michael Curtiz or those of its inimitable star. It is fair to argue that the picture does not break the mold of crime dramas, yet at the same time its production, script and acting are quite accomplished by and large, with special emphasis going towards the overall look. It’s a beautiful film to admire, and has a rich story to share as well. What’s more, it is a rare cinematic trip to New Orleans.

Director: John Dower Running Time 100 min This gutsy documentary opens on the amusing premise that BBC doc-maker and journalist Louis Theroux can’t understand why Scientology won’t let him do a documentary on them.

Watching anyone “talk shop” and really get into a meaty conversations about their passions, their art, and their process is fascinating to me.
