As stated in the post below, I wanted to start keeping tabs on the movies I’ve seen as friends are constantly asking for movie recommendations. They will consist of short, one or two-line reviews to supplement the movies I feel warrant further analysis (this will also help my lazy butt stay a little more current with my reviews). Anywho, they can be found by clicking “Recently Watched” in the title bar above, or by clicking here.
As always, let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see on this site in the comments below (I know, I know, everyone liked Favorite Video Friday, but it’s very time consuming. I’m trying to bring it back, but it may be a while still).
I just launched a new website designed to help the completely uninitiated with all their technological woes. The idea is to answer anyone’s questions about anything from computers to home theaters to working with ITunes and more. So spread the word, and if you have any questions or need any help, head on over to http://www.afrowhitey.com and drop me a line!
I need to apologize to my small but powerful group of regular followers for the recent lack of posts. I was up in Salt Lake City shooting a short for my grad school application and was far too busy for my silly blog. The short is basically a series of the same “guy meets girl” story done in the style of three different genres, each more ridiculous than the one before: Action, Western, and Musical. I’ll be posting samples as soon as I have them on this site, but in the meantime, Steven, who did the music for the musical, posted his awesome songs on his myspace (first 3 songs). Check them out for a little taste.
As far as movies for this week go, have no fear, the only thing coming out worth seeing in wide release this week is Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist. If you have access to limited release, Rachel Getting Married could be good, and RocknRolla looks pretty sweet. Oh, and you better go buy Iron Man on DVD.
My last post was May 23. It is now July 21. In retrospect, 2 months doesn’t seem that long, but I have been very busy. I originally stopped writing things here because I was trying to finish up 2 screenplays I was working on and get them sent out to the Slamdance screenplay competition before the June 2 deadline. As it turns out, Fat Camp just needs more time, so I only ended up re-submitting Nice Guy. It made it to the 2nd round last year, but I made a lot of changes since then, hopefully it does better this year.
I then went to Jackson Hole, WY to do some filming for The Pink Garter Theatre and have been working on those various videos pretty much since then. A promo reel can be seen here. I also did all the video portions for Singin’ in the Rain. It was a lot of fun. There were some trips to California after that, which spawned some other video projects (a clip of one can be seen here), some of which I’m still working on. I then went to Yosemite National Park and did some filming for Megan’s family. All I have left to do for the Pink Garter now is put together the recordings of their 3 shows for their archives, so I decided I’m allowed to write again while I work on all these other video projects.
What’s on the docket now? I wrote out an idea for a new web series, SamSpace, which will hopefully be up by tomorrow, and I have 16 movies in my Movie Review Queue. If any of my 15 or so regular readers are still reading, is there anything in particular that you’ve missed in the past 2 months that I should make sure to bring back?
