Scene Stealer | Terminator 2 – Final Moments
Well, the election is over and while you may be feeling mixed about the results, or just glad that it’s over, for me the best part of the whole ordeal is simple. California Governor Arnold Swarchenegger will no longer be in the position as of January and can return to the silver screen. You know how you never realize how much you miss something until it’s gone? Such is the case here. Just watch the video below featuring the Governator’s best lines and you’ll surely be feeling the way I do about our missing action hero. Read the rest of this entry »
Thoughts on the Alien Prequel
So, I typically follow any and all Alien (and to a lesser extent, Predator) news. That said, there is an Alien prequel (or maybe 2) on the way. Ridley Scott is slated to direct. Proceed.

If you’ve seen a Noé film the damage is Irreversible
2002's "Irreversible" and this year's "Enter the Void."
When does filmmaking go to far? That is the question asked by many viewers of controversial Argentinean director Gaspar Noé‘s filmography. His new film, the Tokyo based “ghost story” Enter the Void is being released soon, and it already has people taking, to say the least. Just watch the opening credits and you’ll see what I mean.

Spike Lee to Direct “Nagasaki Deadline”
Spike Lee is a filmmaker I find to be both immensely talented and constantly fascinating. Every film he makes has something that grabs me on an emotional, visual, and psychological level. Even with a misfire like his last picture, Miracle At St. Anna, I was still able to marvel at certain aspects of craftsmanship presented on screen. Well, I am pleased to say that Spike Lee has found his next project entitled Nagasaki Deadline. Read the rest of this entry »
Sam Worthington again flies a mythical creature that only he can ride | Review of “Clash of the Titans”
Let me get one thing out of the way. I saw this film in 2D. Why? Because James Cameron told me too. Why would Cameron of all people do that? Well, Titans was shot in 2D, yet after Avatar studios saw the higher ticket prices of 3D as a way to make more money. So Clash of the Titans then underwent a rushed 3D conversion process that would normally take six months in just about eight weeks. I foresee this strategy backfiring on studios in the future as audiences will begin to tire of paying the extra money for 3D that’s anything less than Avatar. So save your extra five dollars for a footlong at Subway and see the movie in 2D. Read the rest of this entry »
My list of ten favorite filmmakers is constantly changing. There are, however, a handful of directors that will always stay put, and Michael Mann is in this category. Although he is mainly known as the “crime filmmaker”, his style is vibrantly unique using imagery and music in ways that create beautiful atmosphere and breathtaking drama. I find it to be a cinematic gift when Michael Mann gives even the slightest glimpse into his creative process, and that is one of the many reasons Fox’s newly released Blu Ray for The Last of the Mohicans is a worthy upgrade for fans.
