As is obvious from this picture, and from one viewing of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, Jim Jarmusch is too cool for school. He’s a walking breathing art-house who doesn’t need to try to make quirky movies – he opens his mouth and talks in close-ups and awkward lighting. Coffee and Cigarettes is [...]

Sometimes I don’t need a complicated story to enjoy a movie.  At the same time, I don’t want to have my brain turned off so as to not feel the movie is below me (if there is such a thing).  Get Low is the perfect mix- a simple yet smartly told story.  Upon exiting the [...]
