Work has, admittedly, added a layer of anxiety in terms of covering film festivals that I usually have not had to worry about. In past years, I was able to just take the requisite vacation time- or was on furlough- and left to freely cover the festival. This year, that hasn’t happened. But I’m not going to allow that to stop me from covering the 46th Atlanta Film Festival. While […]
The 2 1/2 days I spent in downtown Marietta covering the 2020 Women in Horror Film Festival was some of the best times I’ve spent in the midst of genre fans and filmmakers ever, and that includes DragonCon. The atmosphere, the interactions, the creativity were all electric, and helped sustain me when theatres shut down shortly after that, and the COVID pandemic began. I knew I would have to make […]
In the first episode of the podcast in 2024, I bring back Phil Fasso to discuss an actor he has always loved, Joseph Cotten. As we went through George Cukor’s “Gaslight”, Carol Reed’s “The Third Man”, and Alfred Hitchcock’s “Shadow of a Doubt”, we get an idea of his full range as an actor, and wonder further why he feels so underrated. I hope you enjoy! Episode 148 – Discussing […]

The guest bringing the discussion to the podcast is Ella Dawson, a culture critic, blogger and author whom I wanted to have on to get her ideas on the ways movies bring […]
The time has come for a real update on what’s been happening with me; it’s been many a months, but I’m here to break the silence. Brace yourselves… I’ve been doing a lot of writing recently (actually, for the past year). Mostly it’s been on the reviews front (I’ve been keeping pretty well up with not letting reviews fester), but also I’ve been doing some creative writing. Not just on […]
After two years of astonishing productivity, it all came to a halt. In all honesty, there really wasn’t much in 2006 that felt right, least of all in the creative department. We’ll get to that in a moment, however. First of all, I have an announcement. During the summer I submitted the electronic version of my 1999 piece “In a Lonely Place” for consideration for an electronic music concert another […]
