The draw of old westerns
I’ve never been a big fan of western movies. I remember being a little kid and being over at my grandparent’s house. My grandpa would always be watching a western and I always complained that they were so boring and why didn’t he watch something fun. It’s amazing how we can grow to like something…

Land of the Dead
Just about anyone that’s ever seen a film is familiar with his work. He single-handedly created an entire sub-genre, and he’s been recognized as a revolutionary film maker. No, I’m not talking about Stephen Spielberg, I’m talking about George Romero. Getting his start creating commercials for light-hearted companies such as Calgon, George Romero changed the…

Kong is King
If you were a big fan of the Lord of the Rings films you’re probably familiar with who Peter Jackson is. I became very interested in learning about Peter Jackson after seeing the films simply because of the quality he was able to produce even though he hadn’t done very many big budget movies in…

A new film project
I’ve started work on a new short film project that will hopefully end up on WCTV. I’ve been working on the first draft of the script (yeah, I’m actually doing a script this time) and I’m very excited about it. I think the story is structured in such a way that it will sell the…

It's a cookbook!!!
As I get older I gain more of an appreciation for the finer things in life. A nice hand-made pottery mug, a hot glass of peppermint tea and the occasional black and white film. For the last five or so years I’ve also been a huge fan of the old Twilight Zone television series. The…

The Passion of the Christ
The Youth Group and some of their parents went to see The Passion of the Christ yesterday. Since yesterday I’ve had some mixed emotions about my response to the movie. When I initially left the theater I was completely dumbfounded and I couldn’t really talk. Last night I went through a short period of skepticism…

Back to the routine
Well, my grandmother’s funeral is over and things are finally returning back to normal. Kristen and I spent the afternoon in Cambridge City with my family and it was a good time. I don’t get to spend a lot of time with any of them, but I do love them all and I know that…

Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ
I cannot recall when I’ve been more excited to see a movie. Seriously. Mel Gibson’s career threatening movie, “The Passion of Christ”, is being called the best biblical movie ever made. One needs only to read some reviews of the film to see the impact that it will have. A great awakening is what most…
