Errol Morris is incapable of making uninteresting documentaries.  Yeah for us!!  He’s incapable cause his subjects, ranging from the wrongly accused, the wrongly abused, men of war, men of death, and even those who run pet cemeteries, are the very definition of interesting.  Add whatever Joyce McKinney is to that list.  And maybe even add her to the top of it.  Her sordid tale(s) may not be as important as the others that Morris has chronicled, but his Tabloid may certainly be his most memorable, simply because Joyce is a natural born storyteller, even if a over-embelishing one, and just one giant treasure chest of entertainment… who happens to have a giant chest… and smile!

So, who eggzactly is Joyce McKinney?  To tell you anything about her would truly ruin the fun. 9REALS!!!  She doesn’t have a wiki entry, but the news she caused back in the late 70s does [click if you must].  And it’s not even juss that event and aftermath that makes up Tabloid.  There’s another one that puts Joyce back into the trashy news limelight 30 years later, and all we’ll say is that it involves something called ‘Booger’.  So, go on and pick it, and pick this to see.  You’ll love hearing all about Joyce from Joyce (and a few others), and maybe you’ll even fall in love with her as a person, like Morris has, and us too!!!

Remember how awesomes and clevers and fresheses in teen angstness and confusion Rushmore was?  Well, we’ve all been waiting for the next Rushmore (which was the next Harold & Maude or if….?) and there hasn’t been a next one.  Lots of tries, lotsa failures.  Not even Wes Anderson could get back to that way cool of school.  Enter the Welshish graped Submarine (based on the Joe Dunthorne novel), which comes purty darn close to Rushmoreian heights and low-ts (it was quite a downer, if you don’t remember).  And its protagonist, Oliver Tate (an incredible incredible incredible Craig Roberts), is even more likable and loveable and rootable-er than Max Fischer could ever be!  Richard Ayoade‘s flick is sharp as a tack and not tacky like the B-Sharps, even with all the flashy film techniques and snappy editing goings on.  It’s got 2 apathetic parents (the very well paired Noah Taylor & Sally Hawkins), one spirtual guru goon (constantly sirprizing Paddy Considine) and one adorable bobbed girl in a red jacket (paging Yasmin Paige), and they’re all problematic peeps causing mad problematics for our lil man Tate.  The first 1/3 is brilliant, and the 2nd third is moody, and the 3rd third is moody blues, and yet all three thirds are juss plain cool to watch as a whole movie.  It’s no Rushmore, cause Rushmore is our Rushmore?

Oh Snap!: yer telling we you don’t want to see a movie that looks like this?
