Sonic Cinema

If I remember correctly, my 2015 list of “Movies a Week” began sometime in mid-January, due to 2014 being considerably late thanks to technical issues with my Blu-Ray player, an aggressive work schedule at the end of the year, as well as busy personal schedule. For most of this year, however, I’ve been relatively on […]

Hello my readers and listeners! I hope that you enjoyed episode 1 of the new Sonic Cinema Podcast, because hopefully, it will not be going away anytime soon. This week, I have a two-part episode 2 coming your way thanks to a galaxy far, far away, and my obsession love of “Star Wars.” Last week, […]

Greetings! So, one of the things I wanted to start doing, in lieu of the feature-length commentaries we have done in the past on Sonic Cinema, is to start podcasting, which has plenty of advantages over the commentary format (no need to sync with a movie; shorter; more focused). In this vein, I welcome you […]

Hello, dear reader. If you are, in fact, a regular reader of Sonic Cinema, you’ve no doubt noticed a dramatic change to the website over the past couple of months. It was a necessary update that will, hopefully, be a more engaging experience for author and audience alike. The comments sections of reviews will be […]

The following was written for the horror website, Death Ensemble, as an induction of Wes Craven to the site’s Hell of Fame. My thanks to the site’s runner, Fasso, for allowing me to repost it on Sonic Cinema, as well, and to my dear friend, Heather Elle, who put us together. In the interest of […]

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 […]
