It&#039;s strange to think The Insider was released just shy of ten years ago and was based on a 12-year-old &#034;Vanity Fair&#034; article and yet the tobacco industry seems just as strong as it has always been. Sure, smoking in bars and other public [...]]]></description>

So many people say the greatest movie of all time is Citizen Kane. Whether they say this because they truly believe it or because AFI says so or because they think that is what they are supposed to say really doesn&#039;t tell me anything. If you I were [...]]]></description>

I just finished watching Tron for the first time and while it is mildly entertaining it is certainly a product of its time. After Disney previewed a teaser for the 2011 sequel TR2N at this year&#039;s Comic Con (description here) I had no idea what was going on since I had [...]]]></description>

Back in 2003 when I fell in love with Quentin Tarantino&#039;s Kill Bill: Volume One one thing I found out about the film was that Tarantino had based a lot of it on the 1973 revenge film Lady Snowblood from director Toshiya Fujita. Ever since then I had wanted to watch it just to [...]]]></description>

While I have been going back and forth with folks concerning The Graduate (read that here) and how I didn&#039;t like it and how seemingly everyone else did, I am willing to admit the final scene I referenced in that article is a worthy piece of cinematic history.

I just don&#039;t think I am much of a Lynchian. David Lynch is obviously working on a level unlike 99.9999% of the directors out there and there appears to be only a couple of ways of looking at a Lynch film. You can absorb Lynch to the point you [...]]]></description>
