It’s baaack! After an absence last year- what with the first part of the month finding me in the hospital, and the second half not really finding me in a horror movie mood- my October Horror movie marathon, which began in 2003 as sort of a way to try and deplete my Netflix Queue of […]
Snooch to the Nooch! This summer, I hit the movies fast and furious. Of the major movies between May and July, only “Sex and the City” and “Mamma Mia!” were missed in theatres- the latter intentionally, the former because of a truck-totaling car accident. If the indies didn’t get much play from me this summer, […]
Hello one and all. It’s been too long since I’ve really been on a significant musical role, but what can I say? Circumstances changing can bring forth great inspiration. Work is bustling on a new album. Well, not new in terms of the idea for it, but in the sense that it hasn’t been released […]
Typically, my usual readers will know I only do three big movie preview/review blogs a year- one for January-April, one for the summer, and one for the end of the year. But this year, I’m feeling a bit froggy. In my summer preview, the films I was looking most forward to came largely from the […]

Snooch to the Nooch! 2008 has started off in fits and spurts for me as a moviegoer. The Oscar season came and went with relative ease, but personal issues and a need to get myself on the right track after last year’s health scare has put moviegoing on the slow track. Not as slow as […]
Another week, another blog. That it’s another blog about this short film is curious enough. That it’s coming so soon after the last one, and we haven’t even shot anything in a couple of weeks, well, that’s something of a miracle. But my goals require fast work, not months of slacking. This past week, I […]
Sorry for being away for so long- it’s been a crazy few months for me, as you can read about in my “Creative Happenings†blog on Sonic Cinema. Well, after many months of postponements for a variety of personal reasons- most recently, my hospitalization with pneumonia in September (I woke up on the day we […]
Well, that was an interesting night…sometimes. A few surprises. A few obvious moves. A lot of overall intrigue in what I might say was one of the best Oscar-casts in recent memory. But where to start… The Good: 1. Jon Stewart. He hit this Oscar telecast out of the park. At the start of his […]
