Music: Paradise Circus (Gui Boratto Remix) by Massive Attack
This weekend was about playing catch up. I’ve been doing great with my Day Job, but fell behind with some of the school work for the semester. I promised myself to avoid writing anything until everything’s done, but this song’s been inspirational in getting motivated….
Music: Make the Move (by Kenny Loggins)
I can’t believe I finally found this song. I’ve been passively searching for it over time, figuring that the beginning of Kenny Loggins’ “Make the Move” was maybe a variant of the original Caddyshack song, “I’m Alright”. It turns out that the opening melody is…
Trailer: Pet Sematary (2019)
Well, this came out of left field. With last year’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “It” being a suprise success, it looks like Paramount is throwing their hat into the ring. Pet Sematary is a remake of Mary Lambert’s 1989 horror classic, and from the looks…
Film Review: Venom (dir. by Ruben Fleischer)
About 20 years ago, a friend and I walked out of a movie theatre for some pizza. On the way to the Pizzeria, I raved about the movie we just watched. The effects were awesome, and the main character was bad ass. My friend didn’t…
Sidetracked & Sideswiped
I’m a week into returning to school and am already in trouble. I let my focus fall by the wayside. I can make it up through the rest of the semester, as we can have the lowest graded assignment dropped, but it means that I’ve…
The DWI Podcast – Episode One
I’ve wanted to try my hand at Podcasting for a while now, and am really excited at the result. This took most of the weekend to get done, but I had a lot of fun. I’m far better at writing than I am with public…
Happy Independence Day, with a little G.I. Joe.
As today is Independence Day, this is the first thing that came to mind. This is the intro to 1987’s G.I. Joe, The Movie. Enjoy! Happy Birthday, America!!
Solo – A Star Wars Story (dir. by Ron Howard)
I’m reluctant to label Solo: A Star Wars Story an Incident. Maybe it’s because it’s a heist film, which I love. Perhaps it’s because the cast is fun to watch on screen. Then again, I felt the same experience here that I did with Rogue…
The Too Old to Die Young Teaser
Here’s one for the cinemaphile’s glossary. In cinema circles, an Auteur is described as “a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie” (Wikipedia). I’ve looked at films as…
Film Review: Alien (dir. by Ridley Scott)
Today is 4.26, also known as “Alien Day”, and named after the planet in James Cameron’s Aliens (LV-426 / Acheron). It’s a celebration of the entire Alien Franchise, but I’m only focused on the first film as I finally saw it in the theatre in…
In Memoriam: René Auberjonois (1940 – 2019)
René Auberjonois passed away today at the age of 79, If you picked a decade between the 70’s and today, people would remember him for different things. In the 70’s, Auberjonois played the weasely Clayton Endicott III on Benson, starring Robert Guillaume, and his character…
