Sinners & The Brutalist: Long Live Celluloid!
So, you live in Orlando. (sorry to hear it, bud) It’s Friday, and the weekend beckons. Everyone and their mother is either booking it to various theme parks or hitting the bars. But no, not you. You, being the beautiful, cultured and ever virile scholar of the cinematic arts, will set out for alternative kicks. The sort that reside within the confines of a cinema, and presented in celluloid, no…

What a twist! Four recent movies with awesome twists
“What?!” It’s the shriek that comes across a packed movie theater. Sheer bewilderment at the manner in which a story unfolds on screen. There was a time, post SIXTH SENSE, when “Twisty” movies were the rage. An awesome Friday night at the movies, where the popcorn was stacked high, and the films were made to inspire a simple laugh and thrill. But what defines a “Twisty movie?” Here’s my…
On The Road Again: Report from the Venice Half-Marathon
The Venice Half-Marathon No, I’m not referring to Venice, Italy, that much-revered, portal into an older chapter of Italian history. My “City of Water” is not home to an intricate system of canals that snake through the splendors of the Venetian capital. No. My Venice is one with rivers that splinter off into the Gulf of America Mexico. In lieu of gondolas, we have pontoons, kayaks, and…
Carry-on (2024) review
Happy New Years, gang! Another holiday season in the books. Are we feeling fulfilled? Empty inside? Are we still chasing that infernal next high, or are we content with our lives? No comment? Alrighty then. In that case, I’ll make an extremely hard pivot and talk about CARRY-ON, one of Netflix’s recent holiday offerings. I stumbled upon CARRY-ON on the evening of it’s release early in…
I've been everywhere, man!
2024 has been, without exception, the craziest year of my life. A year of personal and professional challenges that have pitted me against myself. A year of challanges, and change, for the better. Here’s a short compilation of all the places I’ve visited in 2024 in the spirit of adventure. I’m not one to brag about success, but it’s the end of the year. It’s pertinent that we contemplate the…

Spooktober '24: In a Violent Nature
When Jason Voorhees casts his brand of violent justice on horny camp counselors, he does so within the confines of Camp Crystal Lake. The surrounding woods supply the lumbering, waterlogged killer with a home field advantage. For the counselors, the woods offered a rural abode. A brief respite from urban life, from telephones and television sets. What makes these slasher films imminently…
Spooktober' 24: The Shining
‘tis that splendid time of year here in Florida when the hurricanes plow through our livelihoods like Semi trucks on a highway. A peculiar time when the ominous gray mass forming above our heads signal one thing: Take shelter. Can my house hold electricity? Will it stand the destruction? How long will the madness last? You’re consumed by unknowable horrors. Suddenly, “cabin fever” takes on an…

Why do trailers give the whole movie away?
M. Night Shyamalan stands in rarified air. He’s a contemporary filmmaker who’s films, whether you like them or not, exhibit a unique, personal style.
A cursory glance of his Wikipedia page will reveal a filmography unlike any other. THE SIXTH SENSE, THE VILLAGE, THE HAPPENING, SIGNS. It’s personal list.
Handcrafted, By which I mean: not formulated in a lab by committee. We respect the peaks in the same way that we lampoon the valleys. And as shaggy as this list may feel, one thing binds them together.
The man loves a good plot twist.
You know, the surprising kind! The ones that leave you gasping. Think, THE SIXTH SENSE.
“I see dead people.”
Who doesn’t know that one? To truly feel the weight of a Shyamalan film, one must go in blind. No expectations. This puts his latest film in a curious situation.
TRAP, the latest from the fifty-four year old filmmaker, has settled onto a recent trend in movie trailers...
One of the oldest genres in film gets a tricky new entry.

Diary of a Short-Distance Runner
"The work-outs were simple: I would take twenty minute bike rides around the neighborhood, once a day. Naturally, one gets bored after a while. I felt the excitement petering out, then the motivation left.
“That’s totally natural,” my jogging buddy from work says. A wide grin forming on her thin, runner’s face, “Boredom is when the fun begins.”
I felt the need to change up my cycling locations. Twenty minute bike rides turned into hour long excursions into different sectors of the city. Then, nature reserves and piers joined the fray. Baby steps. One foot in front of the other.
The weight started to burn off. I notice my legs developing. Forget about cycling, I was walking faster. My desire to be outdoors and breath the fresh air placated whatever desire I had to over-consume."
