While I wouldn't exactly call chasing an 8 month-old girl around the beach for two weeks "relaxing," I've returned from the Jersey Shore eager to resume my film-criticizing ways. Thus, here are reviews for three of this weekend's new releases, one of which (hint: it's the one with the awesome movie poster I'm using for this post) is actually worth seeing.
The 40 Year-Old Virgin (Slant magazine)
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (filmcritic.com)
Valiant (Slant magazine)
I've also got site-specific reviews of two very good new films - Red Eye and Broken Flowers - below.
And yes, I've once again resdesigned the site. Nothing drastic, but hopefully it's a bit more stylish. As always, your feedback is encouraged.
I like the new look. It's easier to read and hopefully you'll get more hate mail about the substance, instead of the style, of this site.
I do think you should have a pic of yourself here, though: http://www.nickschager.com/about.html
I know I like to put a "face" to blogs when possible. And the fact you look like Beetlejuice's white twin might generate interest.

My frighteningly cheery mug - complete with my Dimebag Darrell facial hair tribute - can now be viewed on the About page.
I'll let readers decide whether I look like Beetlejuice or not...
