Couple of things: a Sullivan's Travels moment, Paula Martinez reviews Revolutionary Road

A couple of nights ago I was at Silver Spring, MD's Tastee Diner, and a server there told me that he loved both Slumdog Millionaire & Revolutionary Road. I can see a moment like that being a Sullivan's Travels moment for some indie filmmakers & bloggers I know (a lot of them are not crazy about either movie - wait, is that just me? could be, I haven't run out to see either flick & nor do I feel the need to do so anytime soon, or maybe not ever, but I am looking forward to finishing Silver Jew, also Carter). Anyway, regardless, it's cool that people still get excited about Hollywood movies - "regular" people (not, you know, filmmaker-blogger-indie festival person type people :). It's kind of pleasantly amusing, charming even.

Now let's move on to one indie festival person's review of Revolutionary Road. It comes with tips on making a marriage work. Check it out at Paula Martinez's (Atlanta Film Festival) blog (and if you become a big fan of Paula, you can check out an interview with her in my new doc Indie Film Blogger Road Trip): Paula Martinez's take on Revolutionary Road & marriage.

Let's exit with a clip from Sullivan's Travels:

Written notes/review plus live video review of By the Stream (2025) by Hong Sang-soo

By the stream review - from Lincoln Center, NYC viewing - no spoilers The hype is real - By the Stream is very good by Hong movies standards and also normal comedy-drama standards. There were like 30-40 people at Lincoln Center for the 1PM Fri 8/8/25 (opening day) screening of By the Stream.  People in that neighborhood are serious about their foreign films. Cinematography is very simple, from a canon XA small sensor HD cam, I could see familiar details, how those cams film the moon, scenes at night - it’s like a 1980s or 1990s early indie cinematography style that we do not see much these days - works well for Hong’s movies. No color grading, very simple video/cinematography. A more fleshed out movie than some recent Hong movies. In the movie a skit is prepped, and we actually get to see it performed. A couple of serious issues are discussed.  Some unexpected, light things happen. It’s a comedy-drama chill hangout movie w/ creative South Korean people - good times. Probably o...
