Why Valkyrie Failed
Valkyrie is dead at the box office and it’s all Tom Cruise’s fault. As
someone wiser than us recently said about the former superstar: “No
movie star has been around so long and has yet been so hated as Tom
Cruise.”

Wall-E is a Deaf ASL Meme Movie
Wall-E is now out on Blu-ray DVD and it is a spectacular movie experience. The story is timeless, universal, and humanistic in devotion and intention. The Los Angeles Film Critics Association rightly named Wall-E Best Picture of 2008.
Black: The Indian Helen Keller Movie
“Black” is one of those movies you yearn to see again and again and you can never ever quite get the story out of your head. The movie is a love story of self-discovery and education for a Deaf and Blind woman who does not speak. She lives in an internal darkness. She wants a way out into the light of the world. The box for the special edition of the DVD is pocked with Braille dots you can feel with your fingertips, thus creating a temptation, and an expectation for the drama of learning to come:
Cloverfield Rejects History
Cloverfield is a new monster movie set in New York City that —
intentionally or not, brings back, audibly and semiotically — the
horrors of 9/11.
Entertainment does not exist in a vacuum.
Beauty and Gore
Recent movies such as 300 and The Hitcher prove there is a written disconnect between aesthetic, the body, and gore as expressed in the higher calling of community welfare and the darkest depths effervescent commodity.
One film proves there is humanity and purpose in bloodshed while the other confirms we lose our hearts in the unnecessary testimony of individual cruelty rioting in rivulets of blood across the screen.
What causes one mind to write such beauty in dismay, while another pens purgatory for profit?
Apple Shake 4.1 Review
Apple Shake 4.1 is a high-level 
professional digital composting tool now aimed directly at the pro-consumer market.
Shake used to be a $10,000.00 USD product. Then it was a $5,000.00 USD product. In 2004 Shake 3.5 cost $3,500.00 USD. Today you can purchase Shake 4.1 — now as a Universal Application — for around $400.00 USD.
Why was Shake so expensive? Shake was — and still is — the program professional movie production houses use to create special 2D and 3D effects.
House of Wax Review
I watched House of Wax on Pay-Per-View the other night and it was strangely satisfying!
Why Cinderella Man Flopped
I have not seen the Russell Crowe movie Cinderella Man so this will not be a review. This will, however, be an examination of why the film is a flop and one need not see the movie to understand the why of its demise.
