Sonic Cinema

After the relative disappointment of Saturday, my mood about the weekend began to get less jovial, and more “I can’t wait for this to be over.” The weather on Sunday and Monday did not help this mood any. Thankfully, the day had plenty in store in terms of activities to do, celebrities to meet, and […]

Another October, and another month-long “festival” of horror for your intrepid film critic. But unlike many years before, this wasn’t a celebration of the wide variety of quality in horror cinema the past century has given us, rather a celebration, it turns out, of the genre’s finest. Some films didn’t quite make the playlist: for […]

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again– there’s just too much damn stuff that goes on at Dragon*Con. Between the different tracks of programming, dealer rooms, the Walk of Fame, and Saturday morning’s parade, how can one person get the full Con experience? God bless Felicia Day. As I’m sure you’re aware by […]

More so than the past couple of years, Atlanta’s own Dragon*Con, the annual sci-fi/horror/fantasy convention that takes place of Labor Day weekend each year, seemed to go by way too fast. Before I knew it, it was Sunday night, and I was in my last block of short films, and on Monday, the feeling of […]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my third entry in this series where I look at my hopes, dreams, and eventually some reviews, on Blu-Ray discs. In the first blog, I discussed my hopes for a future “Crow” box set, while blog #2 looks at my desire to see Marvel’s road to “The Avengers” feature immortalized […]

Snooch to the Nooch! This has been a crazy busy summer for me. Work has been slammed, and working me ragged. My artistic pursuits and blogging have been fruitful and invigorating. And I’ve been watching new movies like its no tomorrow. It took me a while to get to some films, but when I did, […]

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 […]
