Lights, camera, popcorn: my interaction with the moving picture artform.

fantasy movies reviews	Requiem for a Hobbit Dec. 30, 2014 \| Comments Despite the obvious care and talent employed in the production, this "prequel" set of movies failed to justify its length or breadth. The final chapter (in theatres now) feels ever so much like a gratuitous victory lap.
science fiction movies reviews	Edge of Tomorrow Mirrors War Dec. 02, 2014 \| Comments The plot is fairly common but the way the story is told challenges: snatches and bursts, mirroring the paradoxical chaos and stillness of a soldier's life. Despite these leaps, the movie has a core emotional story that resonates, an anchor point to hold fast to amidst the fray of war.
superhero movies video	Avengers fan trailer Nov. 27, 2014 \| Comments While the Age of Ultron official trailer was suitably creeptastic, I decided it would be fun to see Earth's Mightiest Heroes duke it out the way they did in their animated TV show.
science fiction movies reviews	Reading Interstellar Nov. 18, 2014 \| Comments The protagonist and promos may wish to inspire us to leave this world behind, but the creators know that it is our very connection to this world, and most especially those on it, that make any story worthwhile.
science fiction Resurrection movies television	Babylon 5 on the Big Screen & More Genre News Aug. 09, 2014 \| Comments Look what popped into my Twitter feed this week: "CONFIRMED by @straczynski - He's writing a Babylon 5 feature film in 2015."
fantasy music theatre movies	Into the Woods Trailer Aug. 02, 2014 \| Comments Disney is releasing a major motion picture version of Into the Woods this Christmas. This week the first teaser trailer was released, and while I've followed the news about this film, it certainly surprised me in a big way.
movies	Mocap, Makeup, and Masks Jul. 26, 2014 \| Comments Further thoughts on motion capture and why it's silly that the Oscars have consistently denied that Andy Serkis's special skills rank as acting.
Oscars movies	The Academy v. Andy Serkis Jul. 05, 2014 \| Comments I don't plan to see Apes, and I'm not fond of too many 'splosions in my plots, but this movie prompted me write about a snub I think is getting ridiculous; namely, the Acadmey's refusal to honor actor Andy Serkis.
fantasy superhero movies mystery television	In Celebration of Mothers May. 10, 2014 \| Comments Unfortunately, the majority of fiction depends on removing mothers from the picture in order to generate drama. But there are a few exceptions.
Oscars movies design	And the Winner Is Mar. 01, 2014 \| Comments Since I've not seen any of the Best Picture nominees, I can't judge between them based on their actual worth. So, instead, I'm going to weigh these films against the only standard I have: their advertising.
