Tarantino Wins

I decided to choose Quentin Tarantino as my director to emulate. He is one of the most iconic directors of modern time and has worked on some of the greatest movies ever made - the most famous being Pulp Fiction. His film Kill Bill Vol. 1 was actually the film that made me want to work in the film industry.  Early History of Tarantino: Quentin Tarantino was born Quentin Jerome Tarantino in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1963.

We're The Millers is GOLDEN.

Thankfully, we are spared the dreary backstories in this saga of a small-time drug dealer who recruits a stripper, a homeless girl, and a neglected teenage neighbor to provide cover for crossing the border by posing as his family. But that is one of the few small mercies as we are spared very little else in a relentless onslaught of bad language and gross-out humor.  Everyone on screen is slumming a little in this silly comedy.  Jason...

What does this ad have to do with playstation.....

David Lynch Directed this interestingly disturbing commercial. I know Lynch is...........experimental.......but like it's interesting why playstation would want him to direct a commercial for a gaming console. I was confused while watching it. Well, more unsettled than confused honestly. However, I thought this was cool at the same time. Unlike the commercial Angel showed us, lynch took a completely different direction. I don't know what that direction is, but i know it's very creative and interesting. http://www.openculture.com/2012/02/davi...

Light One for The Union....one of the best documentaries I've ever seen

This is a documentary about marijuana, the marijuana industry in British Columbia, and the stigma that most of western society (especially the USA) places on this plant. The union referred to in the title is the commonly used name of the loose affiliation of groups and individuals that make the estimated 7 billion dollar illegal industry in BC possible.This was a real eye-opener for me. I knew to some extent that marijuana wasn't as bad as everybody seemed to make it out to be; I knew that it is the only drug that has never killed anybody, and...

When Harry Met Sally. Not as cliche as I thought...for the time at least.

Love is something that can happen to anyone at anytime and with someone you never might have imagined. When Harry (Crystal) hitched a ride with Sally (Ryan) to head to New York to start a new life, they hated each other from the word go. Harry, was the womanizer and had a set of pre-defined rules on the behavior of men which did not agree with Sally, a lady who keeps her borders well protected. They mentally vowed never to meet again, or so they thought so. Life progressed, they met new partners, bumped into each other...

Now You See Me.....and you realize I'm not all that I'm cut out to be.

Daniel Atlas aka The Lovers (Eisenberg), Merritt McKinley aka The Hermit (Harrelson), Henley Reeves aka The High Priestess (Fisher) and Jack Wilder aka Death (Fisher) come together to form the Four Horsemen.
