Mini-Reviews: The Muppets and The Descendants
I’m back after the hiatus with a double-mini review on the latest Muppets movie to hit theaters and the latest of George Clooney in The Descendants. First, let’s start with The Muppets. OK, let me just say that Jason Segel is a little bit of a genius. The fun, quirky songs, the back story of how all […]
Shameless Advertisement: Movie Blogs I’m Reading
I have to give a lot of credit to other people out there, because many of them are my inspiration for writing about a mutual love: movies. I started blogging for the first time back in high school, right before I graduated. I didn’t really know what I was doing and I lacked a lot […]

My Christmas Movie List
Well, it’s that time of year again . . . you know, the weeks before Thanksgiving where everyone goes directly into Christmas-thinking mode, completely leaving Thanksgiving out of the picture before it even happens?

I Would Like to Thank the Trailer Makers
. . . for the awesome music that they put in trailers. As of late, I’ve made some new introductions with bands, thanks to some great music selections put in trailers. “Everything in Its Right Place” by Radiohead in the Anonymous trailer Radiohead is clearly capable of making some great music, and the movie trailer business had […]

Long vs. Short Character Arcs

Although people today don’t choose to be a fan of either one or the other, there are still interesting comparison/contrasts between the two entertainment media. Many actors prefer one channel or the other to […]

Posts with titles like these typically turn off the sensible and rational audience, and they won’t get past the title. I completely understand that, and in some sense, would probably be the same way.
