Bruce Almighty!

by

Check out the Friday, June 18th, 2004 news byte on Greg’s Previews and you will see some news that makes Ocean’s Twelve worth watching. They have added mega-star power in my humble opinion. Not that they needed it since all the actors who appeared in Ocean’s Eleven are back in the sequel but… still, we’re … Read more

Almost A Deal Breaker

by

In what could have been a deal breaker, Netflix assures me that they ship to Hawaii. Of course, I need to tack on an additional 2 days so instead of being able to get four eight films every 7 days, I’ll now only get four. That’s okay though, I’ll now have time to do other … Read more

Extra Long Wait

by

Yesterday, for the 19th day of Ed, the Red Queen and I were extras in the new Richard Gere movie featuring Juliette Binoche, titled “Bee Season.” Looks like someone is trying to capture the buzz (pardon the pun) of the documentary hit, Spell Bound because the movie is about a father who takes his daughter’s … Read more

Sunset Boulevard

by

This film is quite possibly my second favorite noir film of all-time. I’m a fan of Billy Wilder’s work and have been since I first viewed Double Indemnity when I was in grade school.

Hero Myth

by

Killer Elite starring James Caan, The Wild Bunch, and The Getaway, are my three favorite Sam Peckinpah films. If you’re familiar with Joseph Campbell’s treatise on the hero myth, The Hero with 1000 Faces, each of these films pretty much follow it as if was a literal translation of the idea. I’m knee deep in … Read more

Sito

by

I went to an art school. Yes, I know. Many of you are probably picturing me wearing black jeans, black loafers, black socks and a black turtleneck, but I never really fit in as I never really was an artist. Now, I did associate with artists. And one of the best I’ve ever come across … Read more

Saved Cast in Park City

by

Just a quick post before I go to sleep. Behold! The principal cast of Saved. From Left to Right are Jena Malone, Macaulay Culkin, Mandy Moore, Eva Amurri, Patrick Fugit, Heather Matarazzo. After that is the director Brian Dannelly, some random girl, Martin Donovan, and Chad Faust. More later…
