Top Five Ridley Scott Films
With Ridley Scott’s newest film Robin Hood opening this weekend, I decided to create a personal top five list of his films.

Superbowl Sunday is usually a great day for movie fans and yesterday was no exception. As Saints went onto win their first championship (Who Dat?) I couldn’t help but get really excited when this TV spot for director Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood” aired. Read the rest of this entry »
My top 50 films of the past decade
I’ll always look back on this past decade in film as the one in which I as a film junkie plunged head first into the world of cinema. In 2000 “Gladiator” became the blueprint to which all other films in the following decade would have to live up too. Granted I was 16 at the time and could only hope to live a life interesting as Maximus. Read the rest of this entry »
