- Taking flyers from people passing them out in the street. I've flyered. It can be soul-crushing. 9 out of 10 people won't even look at you. The shittiest thing about it, is the public perception of people handing out flyers is, "ugh, get a job." Because this is a hob...

I didn't fall head-over-heals in love with Dunkirk like I wanted to, BUT there were a few things I couldn't help but get excited about: 

- Hoyte van Hoytema (Her, Interstellar) is clearly Nolan's new cinematographer, and that's every reason to get pumped about anything...

Filmmakers and friends of filmmakers, I'm hiring my essential team for two projects I'm producing in the fall. Both are minimal in terms of location and actors. Each would require 1-2 days of shooting and rehearsals.

So, this... in a show about death and a funeral home, where we watched someone die in the opening moments of every episode, it's only fitting that it ends with, well, everyone dying. (If I've somehow just spoiled a show that's been done for over ten years, please don't...

The undisputed heavyweight champion of my favorite films. I always thought it broke some kind of mold in terms of screenplay structure, but it really doesn't. It follows all the rules of how you lay out in a tragic love story... only backwards.

Days 1-27 were in no-particular order, but as I close this out, I wanted to end with the best of the best. So here's the first of my top-3 favorite scenes of all-time. 

I'm not going to hold back spoilers here. Breaking Bad ended in 2013. It's always been available on N...

I don't think I've made it a secret that Louis CK has had a huge impact on me over the years. Seasons 1-3 broke every mold I thought I knew about comedy. And while it's certainly not the first show ever to walk a tight-rope between two genres, the absurdity and heighte...

My first exposure to this film was during the Oscars in 2007, where a grand-old spectacle was made out of Enchanted, whose songs owned 4 out of the 5 nominations for Best Original Song. Amy Adams and the rest of the cast rolled out like it was the fucking Tony Awards,...

Every time I watch this film, it creeps higher and higher on my list of favorite of all-time. I love the insanity of it, I love how the tone changes at the drop of the hat -- how it goes from a high-energy, then into quiet and wallowing, then abruptly into explosive an...

If you've watched enough movies, if you've read enough books, if you've heard enough stories, there's an instinct you didn't know you had that can kind of predict where things are going. Getting slapped in the face with a twist (i.e. The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects...
