Today, reports have come in that Van Halen founder Eddie Van Halen passed away of cancer at 65. Regardless of where you stand on Van Halen overall (whether you prefer David Lee Roth’s vocals over Sammy Hagar’s), it was Eddie that brought some great sound…

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (dir by Robert Zemeckis)
I can’t quite remember how I found out about 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Growing up, most of my movie news came from four major sources – Entertainment Tonight, Siskel & Ebert, the occasional movie poster you’d see at a bus stop or cinema. If…
Escape from New York (dir. by John Carpenter)
When I was little, my Aunt would sometimes take my older brother and I with her into Manhattan. In a little movie theatre near 82nd Street, she’d get us a set of tickets for a film, help us get seated with snacks and then either…

Pushing Through…
I’m pushing through a bit of Writer’s Block. After a friend informed me they’ve been reading the site, I’ve been a little hesitant to add anything. The whole reason for this site was to remove myself from the “audience”, and just write. I have a…
Farewell, Gary.
I received word from Lisa this evening over at The Shattered Lens that Gary Loggins, one of our writers, passed away over the weekend. I’m going to miss him. I’ve been in a bit of shock over the past few hours, alternating between tears…
In Memoriam – Ennio Morricone (Nov 10, 1928 – Jul 06, 2020)
I woke up this morning and found out that legendary composer and Academy Award Winner Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Unfortunately, I haven’t the knowledge to fully give Morricone the justice he deserves. He was known mostly for his scores…

Birthday (by The Beatles)
Off the White Album comes this classic from The Beatles. Out of habit, I always sing or hum this song to myself at least once on my birthday. Here’s to having made it another year around the sun! Enjoy! You say it’s your birthday…
Halcyon and On and On (by Orbital)
This one takes me back to wandering the electronic music section of the Virgin Megastore Times Square, listening to random albums.. For me, the repetitive nature of electronic music helps me to relax and focus. Orbital’s Halcyon and On and On is a classic, having…
The Sleeper Awakens with the Dune Trailer
Just about everyone’s waiting for Denis Villeneuve’s remake of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Having grown up on the David Lynch version (and making my way through the novel), it has some big shoes to fill. Thankfully, what we’ve seen of it so far seems interesting. Villeneuve…
