Anyone that is truly a film buff, be it an amateur or someone who is a professional are constantly complaining about the state of Hollywood. Too many remakes, too many sequels, too many soulless horror movies and the list goes on. Yet, I feel there’s a new problem today: It seems like every movie now … Continue reading
So, you may have heard of this little film that’s been having a bit of trouble getting released. It’s called Valkyrie and it stars someone by the name of Tom Cruise. It’s also directed by that guy who did the (sub) par Superman sequel and the two good X-Men films. Now, I’m not really a … Continue reading
I didn’t watch the Emmy’s last night and I don’t think there’s a need to apologize. I usually avoid most award shows, I don’t really think there’s any point to them. It’s just celebrities hanging out with other celebrities celebrating their celebrity. Still, it’s interesting to check in on the results and the shows sometimes … Continue reading
I don’t know about anyone else but sometimes Festival Season makes me a bit more depressed than it does excited. All day I read about these films I’m dying to see and reading how everyone is gushing (or not) over them and I’m stuck at my computer either waiting months for the release or just … Continue reading
I have to confess, I have never seen an Uwe Boll film. Nor do I ever care to. But, for some reason I was thinking about this guy today. He always seems to be in the media with outrageous claims and his films are universally panned, yet he keeps making them. It led me to … Continue reading

I’m upset by many topics that fuel most people’s hatred of the business, but I just can’t shake it at the moment and, thus, need to vent. I’m hoping some of you will chime in and let me … Continue reading
Don’t you think that should be the title? I mean Betty..er..Bertie…er…Betty is one irate lady. Anyway….Second season has started and is such a welcome oasis in the dry depths of the summer TV months. For my part, I actually only watched the first season a week or two ago when I realized it was free … Continue reading
***SPOILERS!!*** Yes The Dark Night came out last week after years of waiting. But there’s another film that I’ve also been anxiously anticipating for months, The X-Files: I Want to Believe. I haven’t been an X-Phile for long. I was younger when it was on TV and was too scared to watch it and then … Continue reading
I guess, as a film buff, this is my obligatory The Dark Knight post. However, I hope to discuss more than just how perfect the film was. Actually, I hope to bring the excitement down just a notch or two. Like most of the country, I joined the rest of the cattle and was herded … Continue reading
These days it’s hard to come by a film trilogy where each one is truly worth the time to invest in. Of course there are the classics like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Die Hard to name a few (just disregard the later additions) but in the recent decade it’s been a hit or miss … Continue reading
