I don't know about you, but it seems like every October, I make grandiose plans to engage in several mini-marathons of my favorite horror films in honor of Halloween, and nearly all of them fail to become a reality. But that doesn't mean it's not fun to come up with an itinerary! (Author's note: I searched my vocabulary for several long minutes searching for a more fun word for itinerary, which seems to reduce what...
The path to big budget blockbuster film-making has both changed drastically, and remained roughly the same during the past few decades. While advances in technology have opened up the cinematic world to a much broader range of filmmakers, many successful directors still use smaller independent films as a way of catching the attention of studio executives. From young directors working in the 1970s to modern filmmakers who took Sundance by storm, there is still a...
If there is one thing Microsoft needs you to understand, it's this: Microsoft gives zero fucks about you. Microsoft wants to take your money, shank you in the gut, and let you bleed out in the streets. Microsoft wouldn't stop to piss on your burning body in the middle of the road, and would run you over just for the inconvenience. Yes, Microsoft is easily the absolute worst, most anti-consumer company in the world, and they...
It goes without saying that the recent “Fantastic Four” reboot (or “Fant4stic” as some outlets have referred to it as) was a complete disaster. Critics savaged the film, currently sitting at around 8% on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences were disinterested as the movie made less than $30 million dollars on its opening weekend.

Pre-release hype in films is an interesting tool. Its use in the trade has become almost more important than the actual quality of the movie, as most blockbuster releases attempt to build up anticipation to fill as many seats in a theater as possible on opening weekend. The Avengers films, as well as most Marvel movies, rely almost entirely on pre-release hype and buzz as a way to draw in movie-goers, with the most...
Mad Max and Terminator: Genisys - CGI vs. Live Action By Connor Bethel Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) has come a long way since its beginnings in the late 80s and early 90s. Originally used for small elements in throwaway B movies, CGI use has increased in such a fast manner that even movies that do not take place on some alien planet in the future have used CGI. Remember The Wolf of Wall Street?...
