Sonic Cinema

I haven’t worked a job this little since college. I’ve been furloughed from my job at the movie theatre for much of the year, and that looks to be how I will be starting 2021, as well. No matter; all the more time for me to catch up with a wild movie year. One thing […]

The past couple of years, I have gotten more ambitious in the type of movie coverage I’m offering at Sonic Cinema. In 2019, I covered the Atlanta Film Festival, and honestly, it was as exciting and freeing as any experience I’ve had. This year, I began with Marietta’s Women in Horror Film Festival and, during […]

It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper discussion on the current theatrical landscape, and what it looks like for me personally. With some news today, it seems like a good time to return to the conversation. Today, Warner Bros. announced that, like they will be doing on Christmas Day with “Wonder Woman 1984,” […]

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog like this about my October horror movie watching. I kind of wanted to this year. I began this in October of 2003. It served a primary purpose initially of working on getting through the horror movies in my Netflix Queue at the time, but over the […]

My first film festival experience was in 2002, but it wasn’t enough to really get a feel for the festival, as a whole; I was there for one reason- to watch Amber Benson’s “Chance”, and I know that I was not the only one. I’ve taken in several panels and short film blocks at DragonCon’s […]

I haven’t really talked about the movies I have seen at the Atlanta Film Festival this year. It’s certainly nothing against those films, many of which I’ve really liked, but this year, I just fell into a routine with these write-ups of previewing what is ahead in the festival. That, in and of itself, is […]

As much as I loved Fantasia Fest, and being able to cover the festival from the comfort of my own home, it’s really good to be able to go out and about and take in screenings, even if they’re drive-in screenings. I cannot thank the organizers enough for figuring out a way to get this […]

I’ll be honest- I did not expect to do another lead-in to this week’s Atlanta Film Festival, but the schedule got finalized even more after I posted last week, and I’ve been able to (mostly) set my personal screening schedule, so another post leading in to the festival is necessary. Starting with Thursday, here is […]

It’s been a long road for us to get here, but the 2020 Atlanta Film Festival is actually on, and it is time to discuss what will be going on, how it will be going, and what is worth watching. I’m really excited about the hybrid virtual/drive-in format and I’m hoping to get to some […]

My personal experience at the 2020 Fantasia Fest began with screening “Crazy Samurai Musashi” on July 31, and it ended on September 1 as I watched the wild documentary, “Class Action Park”– which screened at the fest last week before heading over to HBO Max. This was my third film festival in over a year […]
