The President Kills A Fly
This post isn’t really movie related, but it’s about a clip that made it on YouTube. And once you’re on YouTube, you’re fair game.
David Lynch: Director, Producer…Songwriter?
David Lynch has a new project on his hands, and it’s one you might not expect from the man.
Movie Review: Revolutionary Road
American suburbia has been a subject of fascination for Hollywood for years. Why is that? Is it that the idea, besides being abundant, seems almost mythical at this point? Like it’s the kind of thing that it seems everyone has yet everyone doesn’t really have at the same time.
Movie Review: The Hangover
