The pieces you’ll find here are just the ramblings of a fan. There may be some top 10 lists, or maybe a piece highlighting a director, actor or certain film. Basically, if I have something to ramble on about regarding film, you’ll find it here.
The events of 9/11 will never be forgotten. We’ve all seen the images more times that we can count over the course of the last 10 years. We’ve heard stories of the dramatic rescues by the Port Authority, the NYPD, and the NYFD. What we haven’t heard much of however, is the rescues that took [...]
The title of this post should be used as a disclaimer for some trailers these days. Film trailers are an art form. The best trailers can and should elicit feelings of need from the viewer. The NEED to see that film on the first day it’s released. Or in some cases the NEED to stay [...]
Ok this is normally not the stuff I post on but I simple could not pass this up. EBay seller jack_mord apparently deals in antique, rare photographs among other things. He has one listing for a photo of Nic Cage from 1870!
No doubt, when you choose to remake something anew you will draw comparisons and criticisms. The same is true if you choose to bring a book to the silver screen. This is why it’s all the more surprising to me, that 2010’s True Grit by the likes of Joel and Ethan Coen, a remake of [...]

Being a teenager in the 80′s, my generation (at least my friends and I) looked to [...]
For all of those who are itching for anything and everything having to do with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, I’ve got something for you. Taking a tip from the Star Wars In Concert tour that has taken place in various cities over the last year and half, the masses will [...]
Steven Soderbergh is one of those directors whose projects always garner a bit of attention. His CV is pretty impressive and normally when he gathers together an A-list cast, news of the film is all over the web. So imagine my surprise when I happened across a listing for a new film of his [...]
Mistaking one actor for another is a very common occurrence. I’m sure at some point everyone has done it. Recently I was in the midst of a conversation with my roomie when this very thing happened. Sometimes the case of mistaken identity is too funny to not share with the masses.
The year was 1986. I was 14 and getting ready to start high school as a freshman. My older sister was getting ready to start her senior year and was at that age where hanging out with her younger sister just wasn’t cool. Lucky for me though she had a really close friend named [...]
