Wonderful Stuff

Cover of It’s a Wonderful Life [Blu-ray] I love just about everything related to It’s a Wonderful Life, the 1946 Frank Capra classic starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. I also have a rare collection of buildings and figures from the movie that I put on display every year at Christmas time. I have ornaments…

Mr. Wonderful

I recently watched Mr. Wonderful (1993) again after many years and thoroughly enjoyed it more than ever before. I think this is an extremely underrated movie by Anthony Minghella who went on to win the Oscar for the English Patient a few years later. I absolutely loved this movie starring Matt Dillon and Annabella Sciorra…

Favorite Documentaries

I’ve always enjoyed a good documentary but more so in recent years because they seem to have gotten much better in quality and style. The directors seem to make their subject matter so much more entertaining and their films more informative. In any event, here are just some of my favorite documentaries that I really…

Inception

I just saw INCEPTION and I have to say that I was blown away. It was even better than I expected. Director Christoher Nolan and Leonardio DiCaprio should both win Oscars for this work. Nolan should also win for his intricate, thought-provoking mind-bending screenplay that took 10 years to craft (and it shows by the…

For Neda

I was profoundly moved by a documentary called “FOR NEDA” which was a tribute to the woman that was killed during the Iranian protests in 2009. She immediately became a symbol for the incredible uprising in Iran. I remember when it happened and being captivated by all of the amazing news coming from that region…

The Falling Man

This one hour documentary was a powerfully emotional experience. I know that many people cannot bring themselves to watch anything regarding the tragic events of 9/11 even till this day so this will be especially tough for them to experience. This covers the search to identify one of the most striking images from that eventful…

Memorable Movie Endings

I created a playlist on YouTube where I keep adding my favorite movie endings. Sometimes the finale of a film is the best part or the lasting memory you’ll have of a movie. Think about the classics and you’ll see that the first thing you’ll remember is the ending sequence. Gone with the Wind? Frankly…

The Hurt Locker

Katheryn Bigelow became the first woman to ever win the Oscar for best director last night for her amazing work with THE HURT LOCKER (2009). I’ve enjoyed all of the success she and this wonderful movie has experienced this entire awards season because I loved it before anyone else did. I mean, they had me…

MacHeads

Even though I’ve been a Windows and PC guy my whole life, I truly admire and respect everything Apple and Steve Jobs has done through the years. I never get into debates with self-described MacHeads. Not because I fear I would lose the argument, but because (pardon the pun) it’s comparing apples to oranges. There’s…

Don’t You Forget About Me

Every once in a while I like to search for a movie to watch online at Netflix but sometimes it’s tough to find anything worthwhile. That’s why I love InstantWatcher which exposes a ton of streaming movies on Netflix that I never would’ve seen otherwise. That was the case with “Don’t You Forget About Me”…
