One of the things I love about the Renegade Film Festival is that it has the personality and sense of community of DragonCon, but on a much smaller scale. Don’t get me wrong- the cosplay on display every Labor Day is simply stunning, magnified when thousands of people are doing it, but when you are dealing with a film festival, it’s better to feel as though you’re getting together to […]
As a podcast commences, you find yourself bringing some of the same people back time and again. It’s not because the podcast is stalling, but because you enjoy their company, and the discussions you have with them. As a guest, I’m always looking for new opportunities to approach film criticism from a different angle, but it’s the same thing, where I’ll explore any options to reconnect with podcasts I enjoyed […]

The film is Renny Harlin’s “Deep Blue Sea”, and joining me in discussing it is podcaster Robert Yaniz Jr. of Crooked Table Productions and the Back to Bluey podcast. You even get a brief cameo from my wife, Meredith. I […]

I hope […]

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 week-long sabbaticals from work, giving me the opportunity to relax, refocus, re-examine, and explore some […]
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 was necessary to do so. The show was produced by Mark Gresham, a writer for […]
