I'm a huge fan of sci-fi movies, and this year is looking great so far. For me it all started with"Back to the Future." I'd wonder, "what's the world going to be like when you don't need roads?" That question had my mind running, and studying the theories of the near and distant future … Continue reading Upcoming Sci-Fi Films of 2017

In-Depth Interview – Damien Chazelle
Damien Chazelle has certainly come on to my radar this year. Over the past several years he has written and directed a couple of my favorites, "Whiplash," "10 Cloverfield Lane," and "La La Land."

In-Depth Interview – Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino said his 10th film will be his last, and as the count gets closer I wonder what he's got left up his sleeves. He's one of the reasons, I and many others, have studied film.

In-Depth Interview – Charlie Brooker
In recent years, Charlie Brooker has been responsible for creating one of my favorite shows, "Black Mirror". Each episode is a stand-alone story with a different cast, much like "The Twilight Zone." Every episode deals with technology in some facet, meaning many of the episodes are in the not so distant future, but a few … Continue reading In-Depth Interview – Charlie Brooker

Friday Fun – What’s Your Story About?
This happens to me far too often. Anybody else feel this way? In Junior College, I had this great creative writing professor. Whenever someone asked him what he was writing, he had a default answer. He would say, "I'm writing a story about a one-legged man who hops all the way across America." For those … Continue reading Friday Fun – What’s Your Story About?
Quote of the Day – T. E. Lawrence
Believe it or not, the first time I heard this quote was in one my favorite video games, "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception." I still haven't seen "Lawrence of Arabia," which is where the quote came from, but I hear it's quite a classic. It sounds a little funny if you don't play video games, but … Continue reading Quote of the Day – T. E. Lawrence
