On tap: Sleepwalk With Me
Is it a laughing matter to be so completely out of it that you jump through a 2nd story glass window only to wake up bloody, bruised, and a hairsbreadth away from having bled to death? Surprisingly, it is! comedian/writer/director/producer/actor Mike Birbiglia has put together a rather amusing film about standup comedy, fear of marriage, family pressures and sleep disorders called Sleepwalk With Me. I was under the impression this film, which premiered at Sundance 2012, was a documentary. It’s not, it’s a narrative comedic feature. Although it is based on Birbiglia’s real life; as is, his one-man off-Broadway play, comedy album, best-selling book, TV special and segments on the…

Vertigo: The Artist As A Filmmaker
As I’ve mentioned before, I didn’t see many contemporary films/movies in my youth. Starting at about age 10 through my 20’s, I spent much of my viewing hours watching old movies, with Hitchcock’s Rebecca, Marnie, Vertigo & Notorious at the top of my list of favorites. Of course Alfred Hitchcock is known as the master of suspense, an even as a child I was drawn into the eerie, mysterious, dangerous qualities of these films, but it wasn’t really what fascinated me. I most certainly didn’t watch for perspective, crane shots, camera angles or filmmaking techniques. Although, I’m sure subconsciously, I responded to these aspects of the films, which we now…
