With all the talk on the internet these days about Michael Bay and the way he’s handling the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, it was great to see Casey Jones The Movie. A fan film from filmmaker Polaris Banks. The film is only 35 minutes long, but it’s beautifully done.
The thing that strikes me most about this film is accuracy.

It’s not often that a cartoon series lasts for 23 years. In retrospect it seems downright implausible that a cartoon series on FOX would last that long as they did prematurely terminate Family Guy (only to resurrect it) and Futurama (which was resurrected after great straight to DVD sales).
So, The Simpsons hit the 500 episode mark and that should be and was celebrated.

I recently watch the movie Killing Bono. It was a great movie. A little long at times but still a great piece of cinema, which isn’t something I’m used to saying. The premise is that which had me wondering how come a movie like this hasn’t been made before.

Recently, I watched the movie Real Steel. Honestly, I wasn’t sure why I had chosen it, but if it was a Rocky with robots, that’d probably be something I could get behind or at least enjoy watching. But what I got was a social commentary of boxing and the future by writer Dan Gilroy.

Today while looking at my google news feed I saw a disturbing article. Not disturbing to me necessarily, but a grave concern to some people I know. So I clicked the link and read with horror the story of how hostess is filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection again.
After I read the article I called my friend Jason Zapata Wordsmith and alerted him of this grave news.
