Rediscovering Creativity: Reviving My Passion for Writing
My name is John Mulhern, and I want to write again. Years ago, I was lucky enough to be a part of an emerging movie news site called Gordon and the Whale. It was a magical time. There had been sites like Ain’t It Cool News that paved the way for online film journalism many…
THIS IS 40 poster shows off the married life
Judd Apatow is finally returning to the big screen, after FUNNY PEOPLE didn’t really hit the way many expected. Now he is going back to the well in a very Kevin Smith-like move, and making a sort-of sequel to KNOCKED UP called THIS IS 40. In true Apatow fashion, it looks like it will be…
Check out this awesome production video for next Bond outing, SKYFALL
Bond’s next big adventure is quickly approaching, and before we know it, we’ll see exactly what Sam Mendes’ vision for the franchise is. It really is a big deal.

THE POLTERGEIST remake is being produced by Sam Raimi
THE POLTERGEIST is a film that came just before my time, but in my circle of friends was built up like a legend. We talked about it in the same way that many people talk about THE EXORCIST. We all ended up watching it, and it certainly spooked us out. Now the film is looking…
