“Film is one of three universal languages, along with mathematics & music.” – Frank Capra My original intention was to post this a few days ago, but stuff happens…like having a big chunk of what I wrote disappear because evidently I forgot to save my work. When something like that happens I can… Read More The 30 Day Film Challenge – Part 2
“Movies touch our hearts and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places, they open doors and minds.

“Movies touch our hearts, awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places…open doors & minds.

Seven months ago we started our journey with 100 movies that defined the decade of the 1990’s. And while trilogies (Toy Story, Austin Powers, Scream) & Christmas films (Home Alone, The Santa Clause, The Ref) weren’t included, we still ended up with a rather eclectic & competitive field representing a decade that is difficult to… Read More 90’s Film Frenzy: A Fatal Four Way Finale

I know all you non-sports folks get a… Read More 90’s Film Frenzy: Phat Round 3
In the early rounds of 90’s Film Frenzy I provided y’all with as much information as I could about each movie, including the big stars we allegedly flock to the theater to see. That is all well & good, but I think there is much more that goes into one’s enjoyment of a film. The… Read More 90’s Film Frenzy: Fly Round 3

The good news is that going forward my intention is to be much less verbose. It has always been my aim to… Read More 90’s Film Frenzy: Dope Round 3
As we wrap up Round 2 of 90’s Film Frenzy let me take this opportunity to hearken back to my childhood in the 70’s & 80’s and say a melancholy Happy Trails to legendary actor Burt Reynolds. For a brief time when I was about ten years old Reynolds was the biggest movie star in… Read More 90’s Film Frenzy: Wicked Round 2
