This is my seventh time attending Dragon*Con, Atlanta’s annual Labor Day convention of sci-fi, fantasy and all-around geekiness, and there’s a part of me that thinks this should be an exact science by now. By this, I don’t necessarily mean the Con itself, which will always have ebbs and flows that go with the year, […]
One of the best things I’ve done in growing Sonic Cinema over the past 6-7 years has been embracing the idea of filmmaker requests of films they’re in or have made. It started slow– one in ’06, one in ’07, two in ’08 –but in 2009, the requests began coming in so fast it was […]
I have a feeling this is going to be a running theme in the years to come when it comes to reviewing movies… In the past few years, it’s not really a secret to my long-time readers (if there are any left) that a lot of reviews have been coming in later and later, if […]
It’s been nearly a year since I last updated on Sonic Cinema on my musical exploits. Truth is, I’ve been pretty busy with a lot of balls juggling in the air, so I haven’t been able to update quite as regularly as I’d prefer. But here we are, almost done with the first third of […]
Snooch to the Nooch! The Awards Season “Officially” comes to an end this Sunday as the Academy hands out the Oscars, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Even more so than last year, I am frustrated by my inability to get to a number of the nominees, including a few Best Picture contenders. Hopefully, though, as […]
I didn’t have time to finish it before I posted my end-of-year blog, but here is my list of the movies I’m most looking forward to in 2015, and to some of you, I’m sure very few of these will be a surprise. Viva La Resistance! Brian Skutle www.sonic-cinema.com 1. “Star Wars: Episode VII- The […]
It’s that time of year again. Unfortunately, I’m still missing a lot of movies on my “have watched” that could have an effect on these, but it will be updated as we go along. In a bit of a switch, I will be adding the nominees, and my commentary, to this blog, mainly because of […]
This was a rough year for me in terms of moviewatching. If you’ve already read my end-of-2014 review, you know there’s still a lot left to see, although I’m definitely making up for lost time at the start of this year. That same lack of consistency seeped into my “weekly” series of older movie reviews, […]
Okay, so this has kind of been a lousy year for me getting to movies. I don’t like that this was the case. But between a full-time job, a relationship, needing to get stuff straightened up around the house after my father passed away last year, a decision to take some online courses towards a […]
It’s becoming a common refrain with me, and I don’t particularly care for it, “I haven’t seen it yet.” Most of the big films didn’t have that problem, but nearly all of the smaller films did. Once my everyday life changed, so did my movie habits, and life has been so ridiculously busy, playing catch-up […]
