Today is the last of the series with Noah Cooper. I would like to thank him for the time, video clips, and pictures. Interviews like this are a lot of fun, and I will be doing more of these. If you know of any really interesting people, just contact me through the site, and we [...]

Most people don’t realize the full extent that filmmakers, photographers, and musicians go through to put out a finished product. For every picture, song or movie segment there is literally days of work. So, I decided that for this part of the story, we would focus on the behind the scenes part of making a [...]

Back in November, I was at a fundraiser with my good friend Ann Nyberg and she mentioned that she was working on another one, and asked if I could help out. Now Ann is usually involved in 39 different projects on any given day, so I had no idea what I was getting into, but [...]

In an effort to appeal to a younger demographic, this year’s Oscar night was hosted by a couple of cool contemporary actors. I enjoy many of the works of Anne Hathaway and James Franco. Anticipating a night of unusually zany bits I was very excited and possibly set the bar a little high. I thought [...]

Reviewing the remaining two films of my Best Picture series brings me back to my argument to have a category for Best Performance by a child or teen.

The Oscars are rapidly approaching so I will talk about three films in this installment. They also all have best actress nominations. To an already impressive list of films including “Requiem for a Dream” and “The Wrestler” best directing nomin…

It’s one of my favorite times of the year…Oscar Time. I’ll be running my series on best picture nominations again, lending my own personal slant and overview. The Academy has decided to stay with the 10 picture format and unfortunately, this lead…

Growing up in Meriden we often would drive by the house on Meriden Waterbury Road in Southington hoping to snare a glimpse of the evil boy looking out the window. The movie Haunting in Connecticut was based on the story, but in true “Hollywood” fashion, they completely destroyed a promising theme for what could have [...]

By now you are wondering, where is the Authors picture?  The picture always accompanies the article. Well, I do have the picture of “The Boogeyman”, but I can’t publish it. I mean there is a reason that kids cringe at the mere mention of him.  I mean this dude is UGLY. I mean beyond butt [...]
