  • Peggy Sue Got Married

    —

    It’s not an amazing movie or anything, but it was still fun to watch. It feels magical and innocent, like a lot of mid-80s movies do, and yes, Nicolas Cage is weird even back then — and it’s sort of funny to think that he was playing heartthrob (although with a weirdo bent) roles back…

  • Running Scared

Not only is it a beautiful look at taking in Tokyo by bike, it also features one of my design heroes (Groovisions). On the negative side, this…
