Snooch to the Nooch! This has been a crazy busy summer for me. Work has been slammed, and working me ragged. My artistic pursuits and blogging have been fruitful and invigorating. And I’ve been watching new movies like its no tomorrow. It took me a while to get to some films, but when I did, […]
Hello one and all. So yesterday, I turned 34, but unfortunately I was too busy to post this between work and partying. I was glad to be so busy, but I have some time to finally post the following lists. They are pretty self-explanatory: my 100 Best Films, my 100 Favorite Films, my 50 Worst […]
Hello all. Welcome to the second blog where I look at my burgeoning Blu-Ray collection, be it through reviews of actual discs or, as is the case here, a look at my hopes for what I’d like to see studios bring out in the format. My first blog in the series was about my hopes […]
So last year I decided to structure my blog about the first four months differently than in previous years. Realizing I still hadn’t really posted the distinctions between why one film gets a certain grade over another, I decided to use my annual blog for January-April to do so. This year, I decided it was […]
**The following is a paper I wrote in March 1997 for an English class my freshman year at Georgia State. I’ve wanted to share it for some time, and I’ve made some personal notes based on observances of the past 14 years. I hope you enjoy! For more on this subject, check out the fantastic […]
Welcome to the first blog in a new series. How often it’ll appear, I’m not sure. But I’ve been thinking about this movie a lot recently, and I just got a Blu-Ray player this past Christmas. This is a movie I can’t wait to see in High-Def. Sometimes I might review discs here, other times […]
The Academy Board of Governors really has to rethink the way they do the Oscars. Yes, some of their ideas are not bad, and their choices of hosts has been pretty imaginative over the past three years (although last year’s pairing between Steve Martin and Alex Baldwin was a disaster), but this year the show […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, with the Oscars finally happening on Sunday, it’s now time for my final look at the nominees, and a look at my final predictions (all nominations listed in order of preference), and whether they’ve changed in the past month. Before I get to the festivities, though, an update on where […]
This is something I actually did a few years ago for fun. I know– I have a strange idea of fun. Still, it’s such an interesting “nerd” idea I decided to do it again: an “All-Time” Oscar ballot. The premise is simple enough: taking into account the entire breadth of my movie-watching history, from the […]
Getting into a debate with a friend of mine online about one of this year’s major Oscar contenders, I was inspired to write about Hollywood’s annual festival of self-love that starts with the critics awards in December and culminates with the awarding of Golden Phallic statues near the end of February. There’s a part of […]
