A few months ago I saw this wicked trailer. It looked like it was possibly a documentary about a US occupation in a foreign country. The interviewees all had accents. The locale looked economically depressed. The people interviewed talked about all the money being spent to keep “them” here. That “they” were not wanted. There […]
Read more "Meeting/Missing Expectations – A Lesson from District 9"Four high school students are dropped off at school. A fifth walks. No one else is around. The school looks like a ghost town. They make their way to the library. Although they share one room, they are worlds apart. There is a “princess.” A brain. An athlete. A basket case. And and criminal. They […]

Read more "“The Longest Day” Premieres"I stumbled upon this video and just had to post about it. The production qualities of off da hook! And it’s extremely entertaining.

Read more "Freaking Hilarious (Shot on a RED)"Last year we gave up watching TV for a while (we still don’t watch that much) and in order to catch up with my favorite TV shows (i.e. “LOST“) I started watching episodes online. The video quality you can get online nowadays is amazing. And recently I found out about a site that has dozens […]
Read more "The Future of Online Entertainment?"By now I’m sure you’re all aware of what’s going on in Hollywood.
