In-Depth Interview – James Gunn
"Guardians of the Galaxy 2" comes out this weekend, and I'm very excited for it. Adaptations are really tough, especially writing one with so many talented people attached. When there are only 2 hours to cram action, drama, laughs, and more action into a film... it's needless to say it's very difficult to juggle all … Continue reading In-Depth Interview – James Gunn
Friday Fun – Plot Holes
Hopefully, proper planning can prevent this from happening. I could provide some of the biggest plot holes here, but that might ruin the experience of the movie for you. That's the last thing I want. I'll tell you, "Looper" had one hell of a plot hole that left me cringing. Time travel is my favorite thing, and … Continue reading Friday Fun – Plot Holes
Quote of the Day – Mary Oliver
Mary Oliver has a great point here. You might think if you have a good thought, that you'll hold onto it. Whether it's in the middle of the night, or the middle of the day it's probably a good idea to write that thought down. It may slip your mind, and could be a thought that … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Mary Oliver

He's otherwise known for "The Thing," "Lights Out," and "Final Destination 5," all of which are horror movies.

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."
