Movie Mayhem — Guardians of the Galaxy
Prior to the initial announcement (and subsequent heavy media push) for Guardians of the Galaxy, I had never heard of this band of space rogues. I’m not a comic book junkie by any means, but I am a hardcore science fiction nerd; my favorite movie is the Star Wars saga, after all. So when I […]

Movie Mayhem – Lucy
I have always been interested in exploring existential ideas and philosophies, to believe in something that we’re far too primitive to understand as a species and trying to wrap my head around the magnitude of it all. I’ve even gone as far as writing about it in some of my own work, even if I […]

Movie Mayhem – The Purge: Anarchy
The concept for last year’s The Purge was one of the more interesting and thought-provoking ideas of the year: what if our government officials attempted to reduce crime rates by making all crime legal for one twelve hour period each year. With its frightening overtones and star Ethan Hawke, it became a breakout hit — […]

Be Honest, Be Yourself
On a recent episode of Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsey, as he usually does at some point in every episode, chewed out a contestant for one reason or another. Though it’s familiar territory for all of the chefs, this seems to hit this one pretty hard, so after the dinner service is over, he goes up […]

Movie Mayhem – Begin Again
It happens quite often: a high-level executive in the entertainment industry stumbles upon a performance or a piece of work of an artist that sparks a high-level of interest. The executive sees something they can sell, or finds the artist to be fresh, innovative and honest in what they do. The executive believes that with […]

Movie Mayhem – Tammy
When you look at the most successful road trip movies, there’s always a clear destination in mind. On one level, it’s all about the physical destination — that elusive goal for which the protagonist will do anything to reach, no matter how many mishaps, challenges or detours they’re forced to take to get there. On […]

Movie Mayhem – Words and Pictures
As an avid movie-goer, my general preference is for big-budget blockbusters. There’s something about the spectacle of a highly anticipated movie that appeals to me that a smaller, independent or low-budget film can’t compete with. But over the past few years, I’ve attempted to see more independent films, such as Little Miss Sunshine, Moon, and […]

Television Mayhem – Girl Meets World
Like a lot of fans of Boy Meets World, I was both excited and a little apprehensive about the announcement that they were going to resurrect the series, not as a reboot, but as a continuation of the story (as many properties have already done to varying degrees of success). As news continued to come […]
