Ryan had mentioned that I should add more projects that I've actually worked on, so I thought I would throw this out there. Alright, so I didn't actually work on it, but my friends made it in my basement as a warmup for one of their other projects, and they basically wanted to see how the cops would play off of each other (as you'll see, quite well since they're part of a comedy trio called Grawlix, based here in Denver). Be warned, there is a lot of bad language, but if you're cool with that Read more [...]

For me, Christmas is a great time to ask for all of the movies that you might not always buy yourself, and if it wasn’t for you getting them as a present, then you might not see them at all.

I like movies, and it's not that I don't trust the recommendations, it might just be that by the time I've heard about it for the second or third time, I feel like I've already seen it. Let me give you a little bit:Guy: Have you seen this movie, Jiro Dreams of Sushi? Me: No.Guy: It's about this guy...Me: I'm guessing Read more [...]

First off, thanks to the good folks at Cinematic Attic for allowing me to post here. I'm sure it will be the beginning of a long and fruitful, er... should be fun... well, um... discussions will be had, I'm sure.I had two movie reviews sitting in my back pocket, which I'll write up in the next few days, but something just came to me which is seemingly much more pressing. Hopefully everyone here has heard that Peter Jackson filmed The Hobbit not only in 3D, but also at 48 Frames Per Second. No doubt, Read more [...]
