I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy because my brother told me to. He read it because it was post-apocalyptic fiction, as did I. He also said it was damn good. Once I was finished, which was only a few days later, I agreed. It wasn’t long after that for news of a movie [...]

As a new year is now well into existence I realise that I really should start to plan into the future a little better. You never know when your car is going to cost $800 to get a bunch of crap done to it. Though I know when that will happen, it happened last week. [...]

It’s the end of the year and I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them. Yes, I’m celebrating Festivus, as usual, and the feat of strength is to find a top entrant for each arbitrary aspect of the year I feel like grieving about. Well, what are we [...]

This movie is a deconstruction of love after the fact. And that’s my line, I plan on using it again for my own gain, so no stealing it. Anyway, this movie picks out the little things that make and break a relationship. Some scenes take only 15 seconds but that is all we need sometimes [...]

Before tackling a project I think it is very important to get to know your character. If you were writing a biography you’d want to have a beer with that person, maybe even shadow them for a while, get to know their inflections, their likes and dislikes. You’d soak up everything you could, if you [...]

I love old flicks. Well, obviously only the good ones, but there is a distinct feeling when you watch an old flick, anything from the 60’s or below. You get a vibe like history is taking place, I love it. I used to watch the old midday movies when I was a kid, and back [...]

Blue-Tongue Films is the home of Aussie wonder kids Joel and Nash Edgerton. They’ve made short and long films between them, and they always seem to impress. They’ve got a variety of genres covered and whatever they film always seems to come out looking polished and professional as hell, not to mention being thoroughly enjoyable.
Recently [...]

It was a while ago that I came up with what I thought would be a nifty little idea for a short story. It was a bout a guy who had OCD and it caused him to have to wash his hands every hour on the hour. The complication of the story would be that [...]

I loves me a top ten list, even have a link to my right, your right, our right, of the best ones over. It’s the link called Top Tens.
So why I haven’t done this one before escapes me. It seems like the perfect chance to give some people room to shine, even though their [...]

During my European holiday I celebrated a birthday. This occasion saw me rise the ranks to someone who was, I would say in my opinion, past his mid-twenties and into his late-twenties. I altered my physiological form and became a twenty-seven year old. Not sure how good a thing that is. I’ll find out by [...]
