The 86th Academy Awards Winners
An Oscar is undoubtedly the biggest honor any filmmaker could receive for their hard work in creating a cinematic work. While I may hear amongst many of the people in my life just how much they don’t care about the evening’s victors, I treat my viewing of the Academy Awards almost like the average American […]
The 86th Academy Awards Winners Predictions
The early months of any year are full of awards and recognitions for all of those filmmakers who worked hard in the previous year to produce a form of entertainment that will have the capability to transcend the decades.

[Short Film] Aningaaq (Official Gravity Spin-Off)
With 2013 close to ending, I think it’s safe to say that Gravity is still near the top of my favorite films of the year.

This new trailer expands on the shuttle’s destruction in a tense and hectic 90-second long clip. However, what’s […]
[Trailer] Gravity
Alfonso Cuaron is one of those directors who, I feel, hasn’t really received the proper dues he should from audiences. Sure, Y Tu Mama Tambien won a handful of awards and nominated for an Oscar, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban pushed the Harry Potter film franchise towards a more mature vision (let alone a decidedly creative turn […]
