For a while now, I’ve been sticking links to a few shorts films a week into the Sunday Roundup. I love short films, and there is seriously no shortage of them these days as cameras like the D5 — and even the iPhone 5 — make shooting a realistic prospect for people, and since...

It’ll be a light roundup this week. Not related to St. Patrick’s Day, I just spent most of the week curled in the fetal position, whining and whimpering between coughing fits because I had the flu. I didn’t look at the real news much this week aside from the new Pope, never mind movie...

It’s been a busy week, and ordinarily, I guess I’d feel compelled to weigh in about the Black List and the Golden Globe noms. But Justin Strout did a fine job of noting what a kick it is to see erstwhile OW scribe Cole Haddon on said list. And it doesn’t take a genius...
