Fight for 35mm
Going to the movies is one of my favorite pass times. Its something I've loved since being a wee lad. The excitement of seeing a movie I've longed to see, the act of arriving at the cinema and seeing the movie's title on the marquee along with its poster, the smell of popcorn, the rush of sitting with a crowd of people who are also excited to see the movie, and the dimming of the lights, all play into my life long love for the cinema experience....

Trailer - The Rum Diary
More times than not when I hear Johnny Depp is starring in an upcoming role I quickly lose interest. He's an actor that I use to look forward to each new role but after he started playing everyone's favorite pirate his career has seemed to slip into cruise control doing nothing more than sullying my appreciation of his earlier character work on screen. The question is what has turned me around on Johnny Depp's next performance, the answer is,...

One of my favorite horror movies of the last couple years is "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon." A film that came and went with not many people getting a chance to know its glory. It is a movie that I constantly show friends of mine who've never seen. Its a film that is sharp as a tack and hosts an enormous amount of wit horrorphiles are sure to fall head over heels for. Well now that I've reminded you of the original film, the people...
