Art & Indie Corner| Brooklyn
I’m not against complex plots, on the contrary, I tend to gravitate toward those types of stories. Though, as I grow older, I’ve noticed a growing love for simpler tales told in minimalist styles. Everything has a place. There’s a…
Reviewing the Classics| On the Waterfront
On the Waterfront is one of the most influential and personally significant films I’ve ever seen, and a “contender” for my favorite classic film. The story follows Terry Malloy (played by the alluring, and wonderfully talented Marlon Brando) as he…
minisode #002 – Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones
On this minisode: We look at the impact that the Star Wars prequels had on us, both culturally and personally. With Attack of the Clones, we learn a lot about story– but maybe not the things we’d hope to. George…

Reviewing the Classics | The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Art & Indie Corner| Another Earth
If you approach Another Earth with the intention of digesting it literally, don’t. Mike Cahill’s film isn’t just about the neat idea of planet identical to our own coming into reality; it’s about redemption and second chances. The movie begins…
