273) Catfish (2010)

273) Catfish (2010) Dir: Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman Date Released: September 2010 Date Seen: August 30, 2010 Rating: 1.5/5

To reiterate what I told everyone within earshot about this movie: if your movie is centered around a question as hollow as, "Is it real or is it fake?" then nine times out of ten the answer is "Fake, dufus!" And lo, even this thing feels fake throughout. Worst part about this is that Henry Joost is one of the guys that did NY Opus: Export Jazz, which couldn't be more different than Catfish in the best way imaginable.  See my review for the New York Press.

108) Cold Weather (2010) Dir: Aaron Katz Date Released: xx 2010 Date Seen: March 21, 2010 Rating: 3.75/5

I feel silly for enjoying A NY Thing as much as I did but it's mildly enjoyable piffle. NY Export: Opus Jazz just won me over; love that Robbins choreography and the restless amerawork was pretty enjoyable, too. Cold Weather's not my favorite Katz but it's pretty decent. See my feature on NY filmmakers at SXSW for the NY Press.
