There are several things/events I have decided need to happen at some point in my cinematic and personal life. One that I’ve finally gotten out of the way was attending Atlanta’s own Dragon*Con, the fantasy/sci-fi/comic convention that takes place in the city over the Labor Day weekend. The convention has been on my radar since […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, the summer has come to an end, and thanks to some well-timed screeners and an unusual amount of pre-release screenings at work, it was my most productive summer movie-wise to date. It was also a pretty great one, as I think you’ll be able to see for yourself. A few […]
Ok, so I’m not gonna get political on this blog- given the unholy heat we had to deal with today while working on my long-in-gestation short film “Unwinnable Hand: A Thriller in Two Movements,” it seemed appropriate however. It’s days like today I wish I could afford to pay the people who’ve helped me on […]
The more films I watch in this new Digital 3-D process, the less interested I find myself in watching films “throw” things at the audience- that’s so old school. Taking that into account, it’s not hard to see why Roger Ebert dislikes the trend towards 3-D so much. Sorry Roger, but this time, I think […]
Snooch to the Nooch! 2009 has had some exciting cinematic opportunities in the first third of the year. OK, I’m not talking about the Jonas Brothers concert film or “Hannah Montana: The Movie.” We’re talking geek films, box-office surprises (who knew “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” and “Taken” were gonna take audiences by storm?), and most […]
I don’t care what anyone says- THIS is how you spend a vacation away from work. Two filming days in less than a month- it must be my birthday. Not quite- just fortunate planning. After our first day of filming over at the Caudle’s house in Canton at the end of January (they’re Mike’s parents […]
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, and whether they’ve changed in the past month. Before I get to the festivities, though, an update on where my Top 10 Best and Favorites for […]
Last night I attended a concert put on by Sonic Generator, the musical group-in-residence at Georgia Tech University in Atlanta led by Jason Freeman, a composition and music technology professor at the university. I had gone to a couple of the group’s concerts last year, and was excited to be able to go again last […]
It’s been 11 months, but it felt like yesterday… In all honesty, a good part of me gets off on artistic accomplishment. When something comes together like this, the feeling is- quite frankly- near-orgasmic. No joke dude. This is crack for artists. True, this could fall apart in editing. The stationary shots could completely distract […]
Snooch to the Nooch! The title says it all. Actually, it doesn’t this year, but read on. The Oscars are on February 22 at 8pm EST this year, with Hugh Jackman(??) hosting. Best Picture Oscar’s Final Five “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” “Frost/Nixon” “Milk” “The Reader” “Slumdog Millionaire” Likes: The Academy managed a curveball […]
