Browsing "film feature"

J.J. Abrams' latest foray into the realm of science fiction is a polished production that has glimpses of previous similar films like "E.T." - whose director, Steven Spielberg, shares producer rights for "Super 8" - as well as elements found in Abrams' previous work.

All right. That hiatus lasted longer than I thought it would. I took it originally to give myself more time to search for a job, but even now, four months later, I'm still looking. Even so, I finished an internship and so have more free time on my hands. As such, I will try to update this blog from time to time. Don't expect the weekly Mouseandhat posts to come back, at least not right away. I had some fun with that gimmick, but over time, I found it to be more of a constraint than a gateway to creativity. I'm not sure if any of you noticed, but it got to the point where pretty much the only posts I was making were Mouseandhat posts. Plus, the ideas hat was getting empty, and most of the best ideas were already used. I will try to throw in a Mouseandhat post every now and then - possibly when I don't have anything else to write about - but they will be few and far between. If any of you readers (presuming there are more than one of you out there) want to see the feature come back, the best thing you can do is send me some great ideas for things to write about. That said, I thought I'd do a good, ol'-fashioned rundown. This being Friday, a day I always considered to be a good day to write about movies, it will be a rundown of films I enjoyed as a child and a look at whether the seeming wonder of each one deserves such nostalgic praise. Hope you enjoy this retrospective look.

"Inception" was intentionally marketed in such a way that viewers, upon seeing the trailer, would have little idea about the plot of the movie. One thing is clear: This film is unique, monumental and, quite possibly, complex.

Thanks to the generosity of a good friend, I got the chance to see an advanced screening of Martin Scorsese's latest expression of his obsession with Leonardo DiCaprio, "Shutter Island". While I would not say that I hated the movie - it certainly has quite a bit going for it - something about it just did not seem right to me. It probably did not help that the only seats available in the packed theater were in the front row, so what I remember most about the experience is having to strain my neck and eyes to see DiCaprio's giant scowl for a little over two hours straight.
