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 […]
Back in 2001, Joss Whedon was a very busy man. He was producing two television shows, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel”, and he was prepping a third one, “Firefly”, for debut in 2002. He was also delving into writing comic books for the first time. That Fall, the first issue of his comic book […]
**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 […]
What inspires us to create? Is it a person? An idea? An emotion? An event? A desire to make sense of the world without us? I’m sure I could explore each of these ideas in a truly pretentious and self-indulgent manner that would bore you to tears by saying, “See, he did this.” or “She […]
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 […]
