KPBS Film Club reviews CHANGELING, ZACK AND MIRI, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY & SYNECHDOCHE, NEW YORK
October 29th, 2008 by Scott Marks
I am currently “on assignment” (always wanted to write that) in L.A. and for the first time literally phoned in my appearance on the Film Club. There is a lot to be said for this Larry King “keep-’em-separate” approach to broadcasting. Perhaps when I return to San Diego, I should permanently be miked in another studio. One problem: without my presence (frantically waving my hands up and down to get our host’s attention), Tom tended to send more questions Beth’s way. In that case of Synechdoche, New York, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

KPBS Film Club reviews 4 new movies tomorrow

Fresh Clint (Changeling), stale Mike Leigh (Happy-Go-Lucky), a decent Kevin Smith film (Zack and Miri Make a Porno) and Charlie Kaufman’s Synechdode, New York. I just watched the latter and if I can figure out WTF Kaufman was going for, I’ll pass on my opinion.
