I'm Jason and yea I'm that 20 something year old who went to film school, but don't worry I don't think I know everything about film. That's because film school SUCKS. I attended Emerson College where I wasted my time learning nothing I couldn't learn reading a book or just going out and doing it. Insert cliche phrase about passion here... Film is my life. I'm in love with both films and movies(big difference). Sometimes we make sweet love and other times I'm just yelling then we make angry love. If you backed me in a corner and asked my favorite movie I would have
to say Moulin Rouge by Baz Luhrman, but only if we are excluding the
original Star Wars Trilogy. Sorry, but first movie I remember seeing was
Return of the Jedi. I will try and hit from different angles on a variety of subjects plus bring great reviews of current and future releases. Stick with me kids cause I've got the good candy and I won't overcharge you for it.
Some how I managed to let this slip to the side, but I didn't forget. How can I let so much writers gold pass by with the release of Wolverine twice (internet and theatrical) and the bright future of Star Trek.
I'm back though and with several summer movies come and gone how about the ones that are still to come? I know my list consists of both big and small movies. Some great things are coming and don't let some of them slip through the cracks. Here is my list of must see summer movies(click on name for trailer):
Terminator Salvation
The Girlfriend Experience

The Brothers Bloom
The Hangover
Downloading Nancy
Away We Go

The Taking of Pelham 123
