Viewscreen on!
I love DVDs. Love ’em. I love the great resolution and the surround sound. I love watching all the behind-the-scenes special features and listening to the commentaries (which I often play while drawing Motion Pictures, among other projects). I love getting to enjoy g

So…are you aware that there’s a new Star Wars movie being released in theatres this summer? http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000639.html It’s a computer animated film that takes place between Episodes II and III, during the Clone Wars. (Apparently there’s a C
Fortune and Glory
So I feel like I’ve come across as being rather down on the new Indiana Jones movie in my recent blog entries. But really – it’s the first new Indiana Jones movie in 19 years! How could I NOT be incredibly excited?? Am I a little dubious about The Kingdom of the Cr

Summer (Movie) Lovin’ (OR How Die Hard IV is like The Godfather Part III)
I thought 2007 was a tremendous year for movies. Here are just a handful of terrific ’07 flicks that I saw: Eastern Promises, The Darjeeling Limited, Grindhouse, Knocked Up, Superbad, The Simpsons Movie, The Mist, Gone Baby Gone, Margot at the Wedding, 300, The Assassination of
See what I mean?
Just a quick note today. In yesterday’s blog I referred to what I called “The Wire Effect.” And what do I read this morning? Amy Adams – so terrific in The Wire as well as in Gone Baby Gone – is set to appear in the season finale of The Office. I […]
