I mentioned in my review of Cabin in the Woods (here) that I’m a Joss Whedon fan. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel are two of my most favorite shows of all time. Nowadays most of his fame comes from having written and directed The Avengers. I wouldn’t say it’s his best work—in fact I would go so far as to say […]

I have a love/hate relationship with movie trailers. I love having my appetite for movies whetted by getting a peak at the upcoming ones. I hate how much of the story they seem to give away. I’ve seen the trailer for Michael Bay’s upcoming Pain and Gain about 5 or 6 times now, and as my girlfriend […]

I read the script for Heatseekers back in 2010, when a screenwriting teacher of mine praised it as an example of a movie script that described action well. Written by George Mahaffey, it’s about an ex-military pilot that infiltrates a group of aerial pirates. It was a notable script because it was one of the few […]

Reilly and Aubrey Plaza, you will get Comedy Gold. Correction, Potential Comedy Gold. We have […]
This past November I wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo, an annual month-long attempt for novelists to complete a draft of a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It began in 1999 with just 21 aspiring novelists who “didn’t have anything better to do” and who just “wanted to make noise.” They wrote and partied together […]
Until they actually announce the next director for the post George Lucas Star Wars movies, there’s going to be a lot of fun but pointless speculation and rumors. One rumored director is Matthew Vaughn. He directed Layer Cake and wrote and directed Stardust, Kick-Ass, and X-Men: First Class. I enjoyed Kick-Ass a whole lot, […]

I enjoyed the first film, but didn’t love it as much as others seemed to. It had fun fight scenes and that was about it. I’ll […]
