I probably should be doing about 50 other things at this very moment, but I saw this great top-50 list today and was inspired it to immediately answer it. I made my list very, very quickly, so in plenty of ways it’s the most honest form a list like this could ever arrive in. While the numbering is fairly [...]

From The Archives: ZOMBIELAND (2009).
Posted: December 11, 2011 in Bill Murray, Comedy, Movies (Z), ZombiesJust rewatched Zombieland. Well, I’m lying a little. I bailed on the rewatch after the cameo. It’s a strange thing, the cameo. It’s problematic. On several levels, I love it. Obviously if a movie like this was going to drop a big name all up into itself, there’s just about no one I’d rather see. [...]
SCREENING IN NYC: Ghostbusters (1984).
Posted: July 14, 2011 in Bill Murray, Classics, Ghosts, Movies (G), ScreeningsOne of my top three favorite movies ever is also one of the best-made comedies of all time. I’m speaking of course – again – about Ghostbusters, which is playing tonight in Brooklyn. The screening begins tonight at sundown, as part of SyFy’s Movies With A View, an outdoor film series which runs through September. Obviously I recommend that [...]
The Mickey Rourke Archive: PASSION PLAY.
Posted: June 28, 2011 in Bill Murray, Movies (P), The Mickey Rourke Archive“Well, you know… It’s an art film.” — Bill Murray, on The Late Show With David Letterman, May 6th, 2011. Handy rule of thumb: When Dave Letterman asks you about the latest movie you’re promoting and the nicest you can say is “It’s an art film”, it’s not a great sign for the movie. [...]
Bill Murray Sighting Of The Week: The Howard Stern Interview.
Posted: February 24, 2011 in Bill MurrayAnother piece I posted that you might enjoy: Boy, do I ever hope that this column goes weekly. (Here’s last week’s.) Anyway. Bill Murray, on the promotional trail for this week’s DVD release of Get Low, called into Howard Stern’s Sirius XM radio show on Tuesday. He’d been rumored to appear for weeks, but it hadn’t happened, and just [...]
A Word About GHOSTBUSTERS.
Posted: January 23, 2011 in Bill Murray, Classics, Ghosts, Hell., Horror, Movies (G), Slow-Motion Quick-DrawCan’t lie to whichever readers I do have: So far 2011 has been a snarling beast, intent on demolishing me and mine. I’ve been working on and dealing with too many other things, both clerical and creative, so recently I’ve been watching far fewer movies than usual, and writing about them even less. Been gearing up to [...]
12 Christmas Movies That Won’t Drive You Crazy (Yet).
Posted: December 25, 2010 in Bill Murray, Holidays, MoviesDid we get there? Did the miracle happen already? Please don’t get me wrong now: I love the Christmas season. I love holiday cheer. I’m well with that. Anyone who misinterprets me is just plain misjudging. I’m a holiday kind of guy. I just hate repetition. Christmas is a magical time when the aura [...]
Six Degrees Of Bill Murray’s Birthday.
Posted: September 21, 2010 in Bill Murray, Movies, Music, Observations, UncategorizedWhat does that title mean? Well, everyone knows that Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon game, right? Pretty played-out, I know. But let’s kick it up to a whole new layer of atmosphere: Let’s apply it to the calendar. Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon is oriented around the idea that you can somehow connect anyone in [...]
Movie Review: GET LOW (2010).
Posted: July 30, 2010 in Badass Old Guys, Bill Murray, History, Movies (G)GET LOW: Forget the Flo Rida song. Check out one of my favorite movies of the year. _____________________________ If I see any more movies this year that I like as much as I liked Get Low, it will have been a pretty damn special year for movies. I don’t see a lot of movies like Get Low. There’s a soul [...]
