I’ve been working with Greenscreen for over 10 years now. It’s been interesting and challenging, especially with moving camera shots. It’s been something that harkens back to one of the things that inspired me, Star Wars. Star Wars was the first film I ever saw in the cinema and that Read more
As Star Wars the Force Awakens is about to come out, the cross promotions with branding is yielding a ton of amazing commercials, something that was missing from the prequels and even the marketing therein. I am an avowed Star Wars fan. The first movie I ever saw in the theater Read more
I was excited to read about the new Star Wars “Anthology” movie, meaning a non-Episode I-IX movie, this 2nd one about Han Solo. The director’s from the LEGO MOVIE and 21 JUMP STREET reboot are at the helm with Lawrence Kasden and his son Jon writing. Lawrence Kasden writing anything Read more
The past few days have been a bevy of movie trailer hitting the web, intentionally and unintentionally. Along with the trailers come the inevitable memes and remixes. STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS hit weeks earlier than expected via a live streaming from the sanctioned Star Wars convention and then the Read more
I just watched the new trailer for TERMINATOR: GENISYS. I am unenthused. I remember seeing the teaser trailer in the theater several weeks ago and it generated laughter, not the kind they want I assure you. I was excited for the last one, TERMINATOR SALVATION. I liked the idea of Read more
When I was a kid, I read pretty much Marvel comics exclusively. I only knew DC comics characters from Saturday morning cartoons like SUPER FRIENDS, the 1960’s BATMAN in syndication and the seminole 1978 SUPERMAN movie from Richard Donner. The comics always seemed too kiddie for me. Marvel had flawed Read more
2014 wasn’t stellar for the big Hollywood studios (or indies). 2015 will be a huge box office year. At a minimum, one studio will dominate over all others by a longshot. Disney owns Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm. In 2015, they intend to unleash some of the most predictable blockbusters of Read more
We’re still over 4 months away from Marvel’s AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, the sequel to 2012’s 3rd highest grossing film of all time, but Disney owned Marvel Studios has already sketched out their entire movie and TV slate through 2019. ANT MAN opens in July a mere 2 months after Read more
I like weird pairings of movies to watch back to back, linked through a more abstract connexion rather than just sequels or series. This week is a tad of the old Ultra-Violence, at least one of them will be. HUNGER GAMESBATTLE ROYALE For me, HUNGER GAMES just didn’t do a lot Read more
Neo Noir films take the old Film Noir and modernize it (Neo meaning ‘New’ [[and ‘Lithic’ meaning Stone]]). My favorite film of all time is BLADE RUNNER, which is Sci Fi Noir. But the two movies that really fit the Double Feature bill for me this week is CHINATOWNBRICK From the Read more
I like seeing two movies back to back, and not always sequels or parts of a series. Making a slightly more abstract connexion makes for a more interesting viewing experience. This week’s unusual pairing of movies are:YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE GOONIES For me, the 1980’s were a magical time for movies. After Read more
THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR SNEAKERS I miss the olden days when you could see two movies for the price of one. Also, some movies go great together, BBQ sauce and French Fries. You might not think they work paired up, but they do. I have several movies that are Read more
