Over the last few weeks, the entertainment industry lost some giants.
Last week, we learned that Geoge Carlin had shuffled off this mortal coil. Though he would probably scoff at the kind words being thrown his way (His famous retort to anyone offering bereavement support - “You want to help? Fine, why don’t you come over [...]
A few LA stories caught my attention this week, none of them requiring the normal thesis I typically offer on these pages, so I though I’d just hit each of them quickly and give you my take. As always, Comment Away below!!!
1. Indiana Jones and the Lucas Redemption
Anyone following this flick’s development cycle knows that the [...]

Over the holiday weekend, I had the opportunity to take in the latest Indy flick – Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The screening came midway through the super-sized holiday weekend and just at the moment that the nagging nasal drip I had [...]
One thing that I love today… the last four words spoken in Iron Man.
Before I go further, I’ll stop for a spell and allow anyone who hasn’t seen the film (and has a desire to do so) to jump off the bus. The last thing I want to do with The Ed Zone is turn this into [...]
One Thing I Love Today… the myriad of posters cropping up for this summer’s Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight.
I have no doubt that The Dark Knight will be an even bigger hit than 2005’s Batman Begins. While that film was a success, it didn’t pull in nearly the same amount of bank that box-office behemoths like [...]

Once upon a time, I used to write traditional film reviews. It first began in High School where I hadn’t one shred of a clue of how to inform you which movies to see and which to skip. Rather than enter into intelligent discourse on the merits of the film in question, I would just [...]
I love the movies.
Of course, while I don’t get out to see them in the theater like I once did, I do find enough moments to spare in a year to do it up proper. You know. A darkened theater, surrounded by strangers, enjoying the flickering light and shadow projected on the big screen.
That said, there are [...]
In honor of Homer and his clan’s long awaited arrival to the big screen, I decided to offer up a special edition of the ‘My Favorite Things’ series.
The format for this edition is going to be a little different than prior installments. Rather than grace y’all with the details of why a particular episode hit [...]
I love flicks set in snowy environs. Now if only someone would get around to making a wintry apocalypse flick where one man has to stave off the advances of homicidal snowmen, I’d be sound as a pound. Anyway, on the heels of the I Am Legend trailer comes this peak at the Sam Raimi [...]
