March Madness
March Madness quiz.
Some of the greatest moments in the history of sports have occurred during this, the greatest week on the calendar each year. The NCAA tournament is a glorious series of human interest stories merging into one spectacular competition where fame is just a single buzzer beater away.
Director's Spotlight
He's digging in the dirt to find the places he got hurt. .
In today’s post-modern film world, more often than ever before, feature directors come from backgrounds in directing commercials. Like with music videos, the kinetic, visually arresting style of modern advertisements appeal to today’s younger, easily distracted audiences – of which I am a proud member. The studio thinking here is simple: if you can sell something to an audience in 30-60 seconds, imagine what you can do over the course of two full hours.
     


 
Trailer Hitch

How to Spend $20
Who needs talent when you look like this? Right, Megan Fox?

What's Next
Pictured: Not Tracy Morgan
While I hate to wallow in sequels and reboots, I work with what I'm given, and they're a little more interesting to write about than, say, the latest star vehicle for Tracy Morgan.
Alice in Wonderland Review
Smelly cat, smelly cat, it's not your fault
As I think back on Tim Burton's extravagant Alice in Wonderland, one word keeps coming to mind: under-whelming.
Monday Morning Quarterback
