I will be honest- I knew I wanted to cover the Atlanta Film Festival again this year, but I wasn’t quite sure what that would look like. You see, with my job and its fluid schedule, 2024 was a bit trickier than I anticipated, but I made it work. There was another potential wrinkle in this year, as well; in early March, I found out that my mother was at […]
When I first covered the Renegade Film Festival in 2020, I did not anticipate it being my last communal experience theatrically until six months later, during our brief reopening at Regal during the pandemic. I also did not anticipate it being a film festival I would find myself looking to return to over the years. But the high of Renegade is not just in its programming; it’s in the community […]
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 […]
One of the fundamental challenges of this “Movie a Week” series continues to be that it’s, well, a movie a week. And because I’ve basically planned out the next year during the current one, that means film availability is of the utmost importance in order for this to work. That, and time. Life and work often intervene, and it means this series can get backed up. Most of the time […]
If I remember correctly, my 2015 list of “Movies a Week” began sometime in mid-January, due to 2014 being considerably late thanks to technical issues with my Blu-Ray player, an aggressive work schedule at the end of the year, as well as busy personal schedule. For most of this year, however, I’ve been relatively on top of the “A Week” part of this series, and that included a kitchen remodel […]
It’s been nearly a year since I last updated on Sonic Cinema on my musical exploits. Truth is, I’ve been pretty busy with a lot of balls juggling in the air, so I haven’t been able to update quite as regularly as I’d prefer. But here we are, almost done with the first third of 2015, and it’s definitely been a ride. Last year, most of the year saw my […]
I don’t know how people go to school full-time, and work full-time, without going insane. It’s been a crazy three months just doing one online class and working full-time. And then there’s that pesky task of having a life in between. I’m baffled. To recap: in my last blog about my musical endeavors, I mentioned how I had decided to go back to school and augment my education. And so, […]
