Martin Scorsese needs no introduction, and frankly, with the editing job I have to do with his speech, I can’t spend any more time writing about him. Here’s what he said for about 45 minutes speaking about The Aviator, with a bit of polish and cleanup on my… Continue reading

As the Harry Potter films get farther into the book series, the filmmakers are presented with the challenge of condensing hundreds upon hundreds of pages into a two hour movie. Daniel Handler’s Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events presents the… Continue reading

Let’s be honest, fans of hairy shapeshifters are not exactly inundated with quality werewolf movies. Ever since David Naughton became a hungry canine in American Werewolf in London, the only decent werewolf flicks have been low-budget entries that skulked in… Continue reading
