(Note: I originally wrote this for a site no longer available, so I decided to re-post it here to bring awareness to the "Fan Edit" movement.) ---- There is a movement I've recently come across I wanted to share: fan edits. Fan editors are a group of people that for one reason or another want to modify films either to improve the film, preserve it or create extended cuts. The first time I'd heard of a "fan edit" was when The Phantom Edit (aka The Phantom ...
I love Netflix. I love the fact that I can check out "Rachel Getting Married" and keep it out for almost a year and never pay a late fee for not returning it. I am not sure why I have held onto it for so long. I have already packed it back in its shipping sleeve, I just never drop it in the mailbox.

There's something that's been bugging me for some time now, which wasn't really a huge issue until I saw "Paranormal Activity".

A Quick Note: For the one or two of you who have read my blogs, I think it's pretty ...
I was able to treat myself to a double feature recently. This is something that happens only once in a great while, and it almost never involves an actual theater. It usually means staying up really late at home with headphones on so the noise doesn't wake the kids. Two sci-fi genre movies came out last Friday and I decided they both looked interesting enough to use some vacation time to catch them back to back. Pandorum - Cliched, derivative, boring, and lacking anything original ...
