Snooch to the Nooch! Well, the summer has come to an end, and thanks to some well-timed screeners and an unusual amount of pre-release screenings at work, it was my most productive summer movie-wise to date. It was also a pretty great one, as I think you’ll be able to see for yourself. A few […]
Ok, so I’m not gonna get political on this blog- given the unholy heat we had to deal with today while working on my long-in-gestation short film “Unwinnable Hand: A Thriller in Two Movements,” it seemed appropriate however. It’s days like today I wish I could afford to pay the people who’ve helped me on […]
It’s the day Hitler killed himself. It’s origins date back to pre-Christian times. It’s the day during which the “Night on Bald Mountain” sequence from “Fantasia” supposedly takes place. It was acknowledged in the poem “Faust” by Goethe, whose words were later used in a Cantata by Felix Mendolssohn. Now, “Walpurgisnacht”- which is defined as […]
The more films I watch in this new Digital 3-D process, the less interested I find myself in watching films “throw” things at the audience- that’s so old school. Taking that into account, it’s not hard to see why Roger Ebert dislikes the trend towards 3-D so much. Sorry Roger, but this time, I think […]
Snooch to the Nooch! 2009 has had some exciting cinematic opportunities in the first third of the year. OK, I’m not talking about the Jonas Brothers concert film or “Hannah Montana: The Movie.” We’re talking geek films, box-office surprises (who knew “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” and “Taken” were gonna take audiences by storm?), and most […]
Hello one and all and Happy post-April Fool’s Day. In honor of that, I will try to convince you that I’ve actually made substantial in-roads towards creative expression with a straight face… ….shouldn’t be that hard- I really have. In each of the past two months, I’ve had vacation time to burn that’s allowed me […]
Admittedly, because of my being friends/associates with a couple of the composers on the program, I wasn’t sure at first as to whether I would write a review on this concert, which took place last night at Atlanta’s Eyedrum. But by the time the last note was struck at the end of the program, it […]
I don’t care what anyone says- THIS is how you spend a vacation away from work. Two filming days in less than a month- it must be my birthday. Not quite- just fortunate planning. After our first day of filming over at the Caudle’s house in Canton at the end of January (they’re Mike’s parents […]
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, and whether they’ve changed in the past month. Before I get to the festivities, though, an update on where my Top 10 Best and Favorites for […]
Last night I attended a concert put on by Sonic Generator, the musical group-in-residence at Georgia Tech University in Atlanta led by Jason Freeman, a composition and music technology professor at the university. I had gone to a couple of the group’s concerts last year, and was excited to be able to go again last […]
