A movie a week is all we ask. Well, that and a good cup of coffee...a few sunny days in a row wouldn't hurt either - and a nice bottle of wine every now and again. The movies should be good too...not Hollywood crap, but well-made, smart independent films. For geniuses. That's all.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Daniel Johnston is a crazy man with a crazy story. His brief rise to fame and lasting blip on pop culture's radar are both engrossing and disgusting. I felt, at times, to be watching a car wreck for entertainment -- but the filmmaker handles the story as respectfully as he can. I wasn't familiar with the music or story of Johnston before seeing this movie, but it was fascinating all the same.
