Step Up is a fun and [...]

What can I say? I’m completely hooked on the John Adams HBO miniseries. It provided a needed respite from work on my thesis today, work that goes as well as it can. I wrote or I guess I should say that I completely rewrote eleven pages of my short story Tagger. I trust in my [...]

Southland Tales is one crazy movie. It was so crazy that I was not able to completely follow it all and at times, I was utterly lost. However, I stuck it out. I wanted to know how it all would end. The amazing thing is that the ending makes sense. I didn’t think that it [...]

I’m disappointed that I didn’t catch The Golden Compass in the theaters. The special effects and animation I bet were wonderful on the big screen. I would have like to have seen the airships, well the zeppelin flying into the city bigger than life.
What I liked most beyond the gorgeous animation was the idea of [...]
