Gleaming the Queue: END OF WATCH
I’m not quite sure why I picked David Ayer’s End of Watch for this month’s Gleaming the Queue. Unlike many, I thought the Ayer’s scripted Training Day was rather pedantic, in spite of Denzel’s Oscar-wining performance, and I could not … Continue reading
Dev79 presents STREET BASS BOOTLEGS 3: Dropping June 7, 2013 on ClubTapes!!
The Street Bass Summer jumps off with the third installment of the widely popular Street Bass Bootlegs mixtape compilation series.

GLEAMING THE QUEUE: HAYWIRE
Haywire seems like Stephen Soderbergh’s cold and kinetic experiment in high-impact, low-concept genre filmmaking. In this instance, the action genre. Starting with a brawl in a rural roadside diner, the film, written by Lem Dobbs, proceeds through a series of … Continue reading
Gleaming the Queue: Bernie
At the opening of Richard Linklater’s East Texas black comedy, Bernie, the small-town mortician – played with unusual restraint by Jack Black – conducts a master class in how to prepare a body for a first rate open-casket funeral. Bernie … Continue reading
Gleaming the Queue: The Two Jakes (1990)
Roman Polanski’s Chinatown is one of my all time favorite films. But, despite my appreciation for the 1974 Oscar winning film, I had never seen its 1990 sequel, The Two Jakes, directed by Chinatown star, Jack Nicholson. And never seeing this sequel was intentional … Continue reading

GLEAMING the QUEUE: Hang Up on “THE CALLER”
