"WEST MEMPHIS 3" FREED IN CHILD KILLINGS AFTER 18 YEARS

Back in 1996, I saw the documentary, "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills."  It was about three young men who were convicted of murdering three boys in West Memphis, Arkansas.  The film made a great impression on me personally because I didn't feel there was sufficient evidence to send two of the men to jail for the rest of their lives and the other to Death Row.  I was not alone.  Celebrities, like Eddie Vedder, were great supporters, vocally and financially.Read more

BOURDAINCARRALDO

Hi, guys.

Today, I came across the following photo of Anthony Bourdain paying homage to Werner Herzog's film, "Fitzcarraldo."  My guess is that an upcoming episode of "No Reservations" will be set on the Amazon.  Anyway, if you're like me and a fan of Bourdain or Herzog or both, then you're sure to appreciate this one. 

Enjoy,

R.I.P. GEORGE HICKENLOOPER

I never imagined that my blog would be filled with so many obituaries and tributes, but, when a filmmaker, who’s inspired me, passes away, I can’t help but write .  The first time I was exposed to the work of George Hickenlooper was when I caught “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse,” the documentary he co-directed with Fax Bahr, on Showtime back when it first aired in 1991.  For those...Read more

"SOMEWHERE"

Hi, guys.

The trailer for Sofia Coppola's new film, "Somewhere," has just been released.  (See below!)  I'm a big fan of Coppola's work.  She just does it for me.  "Somewhere" won't be released in the States until December, unfortunately.  (Something probably having to do with awards consideration.)  I wish I didn't have to wait so long, but something tells me that it'll be well worth it.  (Note to self: Must stay alive until December.)
