Golden Globe Predictions 2010 – Film
Here we are, a day before the second biggest award show of the movie season. Every year the Hollywood Foreign Press nominate people in the arts of film and television, and every year someone gets angry at the lack of nominations or the fact that the “wrong” person won. I like the Golden Globes because […]

The Decade’s Best – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
On the surface, Lee’s film is a martial arts movie with elaborate set pieces, beautiful choreography, and noble heroes. But under that surface making the film what it is are layers upon layers of sub plots and stories that create wonderful characters and an intimate story that is tragic and heartbreaking. Li Mu Bai is […]
Where is Our Halo Movie?
It’s obvious Bungie knows what they are doing when making commercials and can help produce a fantastic picture if they are creative and esthetically involved, so why oh why do we not have a Halo movie in the pipeline? Neil Blomkamp was picked by Peter Jackson to bring Halo to life a couple years ago […]
The Decade’s Best – Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
Released under the radar and still no more than a cult following today, David Wain’s feature debut is a silly, absurd, insane, and bizarre film that pokes fun at cliché through the world of a Jewish summer camp that is about to end it’s summer run and the results are hilarious. It is the last […]
ABC’s Modern Family is Hilarious
Just got done watching the series premiere of ABC’s new mockumentary family comedy and I was very impressed. Focusing on a family with just about everything, the Dad has just married young and she is a fiery Latino with a young romantic son, a gay couple that just adopted a baby girl from Vietnam, and a more […]
The Decade’s Best – The Lord of the Rings (2001-2004)
When it was announced that Peter Jackson, a small time and rather unknown Kiwi director, was going to be taking over the reigns of one of the most sought after and daunting film tasks in the history of cinema many didn’t expect a whole lot. But what came out of this man’s mind is an […]
The Decade’s Best – Munich (2005)
Steven Spielberg continued his successful run of historical period pieces with this spy/thriller of sorts following the Israeli reaction to 1972 Munich Olympic hostage massacre that not only captures the tension of assassination, but perfectly conveys the right vs. wrong of the Israel/Palestine conflict. The film opens amid a flashback that we will re-visit throughout […]
Hollywood’s Biggest Disappointments
Sometimes hype is a good thing. Hype can bring in new viewers who would have potentially ignored something if the hype hadn’t been there. Although, more often than not, hype can bring in unrealistic expectations. Take for example James Cameron’s latest project, Avatar, the hype surrounding it has been huge, and why not? It is […]
