Updates!

Hey, folks. I'm still around and kicking. In case you haven't seen it yet, I have a new blog dedicated to my monster art, and you can find it at Many, Many, Monsters (there's a tumblr too). I'm having a lot of fun coming up with crazy creature designs, and I think you guys might enjoy it as well.

I've been having a great time writing for Suite101.com, and I have a bunch of new articles that I think you'll like. There's an article on Joe Johnston's adaptation of the Dave Stevens' comic, The Rocketeer, an article about Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant's hilarious new screenwriting book, Writing Movies For Fun and Profit: How We Made a Billion Dollars at the Box Office and You Can Too!, and a review of the 80s teen classic, Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

I've also got a bunch of secret projects in the works, so stay tuned, there's a lot more fun on the way.

Village of the Giants

I've got a new article up, this time a review of the Bert I. Gordon classic, Village of the Giants, starring Tommy Kirk, Beau Bridges, and Ron Howard.

Village of the Giants has long been a guilty pleasure of mine, and my review is an attempt to explain what's so appealing about it. That's an impossible task as the film is so damn strange, but I feel it's a worthy effort.

I also have a review of Savage Steve Holland's One Crazy Summer up. One Crazy Summer is one of my favorite movies, and I try to watch it every year around the beginning of summer.

I hope you like them!

Bye Bye Birdie

Hey, I've got a new article up on Suite101.com. It's a review of the Ann-Margret classic, Bye Bye Birdie.

Bye Bye Birdie is a weird, weird movie, and it's dated as hell. But there is something oddly appealing about the film, and as my review notes, Ann-Margret is easily the highlight of the film. Seriously, the minute the film turns away from her character's story, the film just grinds to a halt.
