In the field of movies suitable for adults with a child cast, the pickings are slim.  Really, you have to go back to the 80′s and 90′s – I’m thinking of films like “Goonies” and “Stand by Me” and “The Sandlot” – and I’m really hard-pressed to think of anything in the last ten years [...]

I really liked this movie. I wanted to like it more. First, let me start with the positive. Zack Snyder is an amazing director. He has a sharp visual style that really knows how to tell a story. In fact, one of the best parts of the movie, the initial sequence which sets the whole [...]

I don’t play rpg’s much these days, for a lot of reasons, including the fact that my own company crashed and burned into the ground (though I have one big project still in the works), the fact that I ‘retired’ from what I consider a pretty damn good ‘career’ that I wanted to end on [...]

Veteran actor Michael Gough, a favorite of director Tim Burton and known for his role as butler Alfred in the Batman films, has died at the age of 94. He was well known by his appearances in the four films about Batman, but also appeared in shows such as Doctor Who, The Saint and the [...]

Sometimes I am reluctant to kick a movie when it is down. I mean, I like Berkley Breathed….he’s the guy who created Bloom County and Doonesbury…(you know that Liberal comic that pissed off conservatives so much in the 70′s and 80′s?). I LIKE Roger Zemeckis. He’s the guy that brought us Roger Rabbit. I mean [...]
