A Unique Style

Quentin Tarantino.  He needs little introduction.  Most people know of Tarantino becuase he did the film Pulp Fiction.  And that film is immensely popular and well known.  It's in the top 10 on the IMDB.  While most of us were introduced to Tarantino through Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction is where most of us know him from, and...more

It's Something Shiny.... Yeah?

This is perhaps the film that really made Zack Snyder well known.  It's what put him in the minds of many movie goers.  And it put him in my mind too, but not for the exact same reasons.  When I saw 300 for the first time, my first thought was that it was a very stylistic looking film that was filled with a lot of cool, flashy special...more

He Gave us Star Wars! And... Star Wars?

Depending on who you talk to... George Lucas is either one of the most brilliant cinematic geniuses of our time or he's an idiot.  And that mostly depends on whether or not you're going to look at his entire body of work, or just those Star Wars movies.  So let's find a bit of balance.  Did Lucas screw up with those prequels to his Star...more

Too Many Eggs in One Basket

Spider-Man... the films more or less made Comic Book movies more popular.  At least for the new era.  It sort of changed the way we look at hero films and what they can do.  Spider Man 2 was far better than the first by showing the struggles of Peter Parker being Spider Man.  While films like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight put...more

A Remarkable Director

All Flash, No Substance

As a money maker and marketer you almost have to love Michael Bay.  He's profitable and knows how to make a movie which makes money.  He's primarily an action director.  Usually this gives people an excuse to say, "Well, he's allowed to make bad movies, he's an action director."  This comes mostly from the divide amongst...more

King of the Macabre

Stephen King has an almost omniscient presence in popular culture.  If you don't read his books, you've probably seen a movie based off of his work.  And in some cases you probably don't even know it.  He came on the scene in 1974.  He's the real rags to riches deal that rarely happens.  Stephen King does horror and lots of...more

Love Him or Hate Him his Influence is Undeniable

Like most of the world, when I heard that Michael Jackson passed away, I was in disbelief.  Surely it must be a hoax, I thought.  Then the radio announced it (after they played Billie Jean) and I still coulnd't believe it.  Then his music videos and about a million specials played on television and I was STILL in disbelief....more
