One of the unexpected parts of becoming a member of Film Independent is that I am a voting member in the Spirit Awards. I am sure I was told that but deep in my work on my own screenplay, I haven’t looked up much in the last eight months. I finished the eleven digital screeners…

Why Dracula Untold Is Exciting
In a recent, brief post on summer movies, the subject of the upcoming Dracula Untold came up, and I have to say, I feel like I’m more excited than anyone else about the potential of this film. In fact, I glanced at Coming Soon for a look at the rest of the year to come, and I…
Summer Movies 2014
I was just about to order tickets for Dracula Untold and thought about the movies that we saw this summer: I feel like I enjoyed this summer more than previous ones because the movies were highly entertaining.

Woo hoo, my favorite time of the year! For our Oscar party this year, instead of our typical appetizer menu, we are opting for a full sit down menu on the fancy dishes (cue the applause and screams of delight from the girls). We are going with a deep fried Camembert served with raspberry preserves…
My New Favorite Action Star
Woot! I was surprised I liked Taken so much. Not gonna lie, I am kinda stoked to see this one too.
INVICTUS
Recently we finally had the opportunity to see the film Invictus. Though I knew it would be moving, it reminded me how much I loved the poem. The last two lines are written on the chalkboard I have where inspiration strikes often. Here I write my favorite quotes and remind myself daily that I can…
