It’s that time of year again when the winners of the Georgia Film Critics Association awards are announced. I still had catching up to do before the final ballot was in, but that was the way of 2025. Here are the nominees, what won, and my thoughts as a voting member. I hope you enjoy! 2025 Georgia Film Critics Association Awards Best Picture “Black Bag” “Hamnet” “It Was Just An […]
Earlier this year, I was honored to join the Southeastern Film Critics Association critics group. It is my third critics group to vote in, and was the second that needed my ballot this year. Unfortunately, I had no real time to get to anything between AFCC and SEFCA, so it was basically the same ballot. Hopefully, next year I’ll have more time. Here are this year’s winners. If anything, it […]
This is an episode my guest and I have discussed doing for a couple of years, and with the release of a new film with the subject of the episode, it made sense. The topic is Academy Award nominee Rachel McAdams, who has shown herself to be a versatile performer in a variety of films over the years. My guest is fellow critic and podcaster Morgan Roberts, the host of […]
Immediately after recording the first episode of 2026, I went into the editing, because honestly, it’s one of my favorite year starter episodes to date. This episode was born out of the fact that my guest, Snarky Faith’s Stuart Delony, has a book coming out, and it’s subject is a satirical look at the theological idea of the Rapture that has taken ahold in some sects of Evangelical Christianity. It […]
I need to get this series back on track. When I changed up this series in 2020, I was not anticipating the pandemic, and not working for most of the year. Now that I have changed jobs, I’m finding maintaining two movies a month to be a tricky business. Part of that is because of how varied my work schedule can be, but it’s also because I find myself working […]
This is the fourth year of “Repertory Revues,” and the 15th year since I started to watch older films over the month in an attempt to both broaden my cinematic horizons, as well as rewatching older favorites I wanted to write about, and it’s been increasingly difficult to keep up in the way I originally intended when I started in 2009. This year, I made a fairly big dent in […]
Every October since 2002, I’ve spent the month delving into horror films. Some years have leaned more into familiar choices that I have come to love over the years, often by virtue of what else I had going on that month. In its earlier incarnations, however, I leaned into films I was not familiar with in the genre, from classic offerings to modern movies I’ve missed. Each year, I find […]
When I first scored “The Case” short films for my friend, Chris Dufresne, I had one keyboard synthesizer, and no recording software with which to truly sync picture and music. That meant figuring out the timings for each cue by figuring out where music should be, when it should change, and basically hoping it would work out. It did, and I’m still quite pleased with those musical efforts. “Player, PhD.” […]
