NPR, back in 2010, posted a wonderfully nostalgic article about whatever happened to the mechanical shark(s) from the original JAWS film? I have a minor obsession with the whole thing myself. So, what I’ve been continuing to wonder, is whatever happened to the sharks from parts 2, 3, and 4 as well? If anyone has …
I scavenged through some more of my childhood drawings and scanned them onto my computer. Certainly not meant to be graphically impressive, this is more about sharing some nostalgic childhood mementos. Sadly, as we get older and move from one place to another, we seem to continue to lose a lot of our sentimental belongings. …
Contains Spoilers — Where to begin, what can you say? Let’s start with this, if you expected this to be a great film or to come anywhere near being as good as the original, you will be severely disappointed. If like me, you thought even the trailer didn’t make the movie look very good and …
Rest in peace New Line Cinema — My most favorite movie distribution and production company of all time. If you’re like me, seeing that beautiful logo before a great movie is simply nostalgic. I say rest in peace, not because the company is actually gone (because it isn’t), but because it has been fully absorbed …

Manhunter is far and above, my most favorite film of all time, favorite soundtrack, introduced me to my favorite band Shriekback, and one of my favorite directors Michael Mann. Clearly, I was heavily, heavily influenced and impacted by this film as much as one can be by any artistic medium. Most people don’t realize that …
Blade Runner is definitely in my top 5 or 10 favorite films of all time. I’m honestly surprised to keep learning that upon original theatrical release, the film was a complete flop, both commercially and critically. Though, perhaps I’m not really that surprised because I see a trend in that the best films that are …
Of the thousands upon thousands of movies I’ve seen, I would not hesitate to label Flowers in the Attic to be by far, the saddest. Between the cinematography, soundtrack, acting, and of course the story, is captured what I think, the best fictional depiction of human suffering ever created (fictional of course, meaning not movies …
Just got done listening to this Halloween mix. Very eclectic in a good way. As the name would suggest, there is indeed a very strong From Dusk Till Dawn tone to it. Styles and influences consist of Quentin Tarantino, Spanish, jazz, rockabilly, oldies, and retro Halloween songs to name a few. All and all, a …
