I think most of us have seen Cloverfield by now, and it was a pretty wild ride. Landmarks getting blasted, ticks the size of suitcases bounding around, plenty of gunplay…everything you could want in a good action movie with a science fiction bent. But what a lot of us didn’t expect was the down side of Cloverfield, with its simulated hand-held camera work.

I think I started to feel old when I realized that up-and-coming actresses like Ellen Page were born in 1987.
I was born in 1987.
Arguably, I may not be as successful as Ellen Page at this point in my career. She’s already made millions by playing underage girls, whereas people have been calling me “ma’am” since I was ten. I’m a blogger, and she’s starring in the Sundance hit Smart People.

There’s an old saying that the graveyards are full of indispensable men. It’s a sort of funny paradox, and it’s true. And now that Heath Ledger has passed on, he’s become one of those indispensable men.
In an industry that banks on your image and attitude, your sudden disappearance makes a difference. Along with all the sad, mundane facts of death – the simple things, and the fact that he will never see his daughter again – there is the reality that he can never be in a film.

Remember when the Star Wars prequels were still a rumor? Those were happier times. Before “Annie” Skywalker, before Jar-Jar, before…
Anyway, back then, there was a constant debate about those prequels. Were they real? Really really real? Would George Lucas truly grace us with more Star Wars to feed our greasy nerd habits? Yes, child, yes.
Of course, the end result turned out rather disappointing, but at least we had that time of blissful anticipation.

Every once in a while, a good action film comes along that makes a lot of money, but is almost immediately forgotten. When asked, people will say “I liked that!” but it’s never the topic of discussion at parties. The Mummy was one of these.
There are a lot of closet Mummy fans out there – not because it’s a matter of shame, but because, for some reason, The Mummy series just gets overlooked. Did you know there’s a sequel coming out? Neither did I. Until now.
