There was never a question as to whether or not I was going to see Interstellar theatrically. On that same topic, there was also never even a question as to whether my first time checking it out would be in IMAX either. The only question I had unanswered throughout this whole year up until a […]
A lot of times there is an urge to compare films to other films. It may not be the best way to go about things, but it happens, regardless if one really wants to or not. I remember seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey when I was very young and being transfixed by it (regardless of […]
A wonderful, little film: Academy Award® nominee John Lithgow (Best Supporting Actor, Terms of Endearment, 1984) and Alfred Molina (The Normal Heart) star in Sony Pictures Classics’ poignant, modern-day love story, LOVE IS STRANGE, available on Digital HD Jan. 6, and debuting on Blu-ray™ and DVD Jan. 13 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

I tend to enjoy seeing process be put on display in film. A lot of times that applies to crime dramas or heist films, where you see the way things play out in a wordless manner, involving a lot of the inner workings of certain activities. Love Is Strange, a film that is not remotely close to […]
