Halloween Movie Marathon
Every year I watch all of the best horror movies in film history. Well the ones I feel are the best anyway. I usually do these marathons towards the end of October. There are too many movies to watch in just one day; Halloween. So here is a list of the movies I have or [...]

What does the future hold for the art of making films? I’ve recently been visually consuming mass amounts of films from the 1950s to 2008 and all I can say is … WOW. It was quite disturbing to see the incredible decline in the quality of films in such a short time period. Equally disturbing [...]

Filmmakers beware! I recently decided to explore the idea of being paid for video content. In doing so, I came across an article, Getting Paid for Content, by Sheila Curran Bernard. I’d originally been out searching for filmmakers who had actually been paid by Current.com for their work. I found none. Current TV was requesting [...]

I finally had the opportunity to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and all I can say is, it looks like Shia LaBeouf has had his future film career handed to him on a platter(including his involvement in the Transformers movies.

When I filmed my first documentary it was on pure impulse. It wasn’t until I’d finished filming that I understood one thing. I felt a deep appreciation for those who participated in my film. They didn’t know me from a can of beans, yet they agreed to share the intimate details of their lives with [...]

This film is one of those fucked up movies like Birth, The Professional, Bastard out of Carolina, Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song and anything with Dakota Fanning in it that seems to have been made by pedophiles. A Summary: A 13 year old girl (Jodie Foster, who looked 10 at the time but was actually 14), [...]

Sister My Sister is a very disturbing film based on the true story of French sisters, Christine and Lea Papin, who murdered their employer’s wife and daughter in 1933. You can read about them here and here. However, I will review this movie for what it is… a movie. Now, on to the film. First [...]

I can’t say this is one of my favorite movies however the ending earned this film a review. Mercy is another movie featuring Ellen Barkin and Julian Sands who were both in the movie Siesta. Don’t get me wrong, Mercy isn’t a terrible movie. It’s just really slow. If you have some time to kill [...]
