A throwback – Grindhouse (dir. by Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino)
The following was posted on 4/6/2007 from my LiveJournal on Grindhouse (which is celebrating it’s 15th Anniversary). I’ll admit I respect Death Proof a bit more now than I did back then: Gotta write fast. Have to jump into shower and head for work. I…

Where Will Went Wrong…
I didn’t watch the Oscars last night, as being in my apartment, I’m not set up with Cable. The bulk of what I watch is usually through streaming networks. I followed along through Twitter, particularly with a little help from Through the Shattered Lens. Overall,…
Happy New Year (And a State of the Day Address)!

McQuarrie showcases the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Teaser!
Holy Cow! On Twitter, Christopher McQuarrie dropped the teaser trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One and there’s just so much to unpack here. Lorne Balfe reunites with McQuarrie on the score and I’m loving the piece that plays in this trailer….
Tears in Rain (by Vangelis)
I’ve been hearing that Vangelis passed away today at 79. Best known for scoring Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire and 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Vangelis had an incredibly unique sound. I also owned his Opera Sauvage, which had some other non movie related pieces that…
