Well, it looks like the fun little marathon of silent comedies that’s been making up my Cinematic Century for the last couple of weeks has finally come to an end. And, what better way to finish of this run of quirky comedies than with one of the biggest […]
Pleasant surprises can sometimes be had to come by when you’re an obsessive film-geek like me. I frequent several film-news sites, and go to the theater and see new trailers enough that I tend to get almost every upcoming film on my radar. Usually to the […]
There’s an old adage when it comes to filmmaking that sometimes you need to make one for them in order to make one for you. The idea is that creators often have to make a less personal and more commercial film that will earn the studio some […]

Hey, after last week’s 90’s style broodiness and faux-realism with all the paralyzation and whatnot, let’s pivot to the exact opposite side of the spectrum and check out some sci-fi goofiness! It’s been a while since we’ve gotten issue from this incredibly odd period of Detective Comics where Batman […]
One of my biggest blind-spots when it comes to the world of geekiness is certainly Star Trek. It’s right up there with X-Files and Twin Peaks as one of those things that I’ve always been meaning to get to, but never have. Not that there’s anything wrong with the […]
