- Category Five: 5 Predictions for the LOST Season Finale
You don’t have to tell me that it’s been awhile since I last updated. At first I had an excuse, and a pretty good one at that. But it shouldn’t have gone this long.
Since I missed posting my thoughts on the last half of this season of LOST, I’d like to offer some predictions for [...]
- Category Five: 5 Chilling Moments From Zombie Movies
Recently a horror short story that I wrote was purchased by a website that does audio podcasts of such stories, and it was posted the other day. Please check it out if you have a moment and let me know what you think. (I’ll be adding a text version of the story to this site [...]
- Category Five: 5 People Who Could Try To Replace The “Voice-Over King”
It’s been a sad year for cinema lovers. First the death of legendary special effects guru Stan Winston, and then, at the beginning of this month, the death of Don LaFontaine, the “Voice-over King.” You might not recognize him, but you definitely know his voice.
- Category Five: 5 Actresses Who I Can’t Believe Haven’t Been Nominated For An Oscar
Awhile back I wrote about five actors who I couldn’t believe had never been nominated for an Oscar. Now it’s the ladies’ turn.
It was much harder to compose this list. That can be blamed on the lack of good roles for women. Because of their scarcity, when a great role does come along and it’s [...]
- Category Five: 5 Actors Who I Can’t Believe Haven’t Been Nominated For An Oscar
You know the old saying: “It’s an honor just to be nominated.” Obviously, it’s more of an honor to win, but for the most part, I think these statements are genuine. In the acting categories especially, there’s often a favorite to win. If you aren’t that favorite, you should still be pretty happy of the [...]
- Category Five: My 5 Favorite Films Of The First Half Of The Year
The year is halfway over, and I’ve done a pretty good job of seeing films in the theater. A few slipped by that I wanted to check out, and there are a few still in theaters that I hope to catch soon. But here’s a list of my favorites so far.
#5: TEETHIt’s hard to [...]
- Category Five: My 5 Favorite Film Endings (Twist)
The other day I offered up my five favorite film endings that weren’t twist endings. As I stated before, I mean the literal ending of the film, as in the last seconds before it goes to black.
Twist endings have an upper-hand because they are undoubtedly going to force a major reaction. Good endings, ones that [...]
- Category Five: My 5 Favorite Film Endings (Non-Twist)
A great ending can leave a lasting impression. A smile on your face, a laugh in your belly, a tear in your eye, or a heavy weight on you soul.
Conversely, a bad ending can ruin a perfectly good movie. If it’s a great movie, the ending might not necessarily RUIN it, but it means that [...]
- Category Five: My 5 "Favorite" Films
Being a lover of film, and a guy that majored in film, and a guy that hopes to work in film, I often get asked: “What’s your favorite movie?”
While I have a standard answer (#1 on this list), I wish that people would be both more specific and more general. What I mean is, [...]
- Category Five: 5 Questions Posed By The "LOST" Finale
I think it goes without saying based on the title, but here’s a warning: THERE BE SPOILERS!
#5: Are Jin & Claire really dead?
Both of these questions were actually posed in earlier episodes, but since they went unanswered in the finale, we still want answers. It seems odd to me that they’d reveal two [...]
