In two years of writing movie columns for the CW, I have had the pleasure of working with a great group of people. They have allowed me to write with great passion and openness about the thing I enjoy...
“So now I'm goin' back again, I got to get to her somehow […] We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue.” - Bob Dylan, “Tangled Up in...

The rescue boat sails through the icy water, careful to avoid all the lifeless bodies. You can hear a pin drop in the silence as Rose cries for help, her words fading silently into the night. I can hardly...
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released this year’s list of Oscar nominations, the response went something like this: “The Oscars are crap. I mean, they didn’t even nominate...
