David Lynch Teaches Creativity and Film

If the critics are to be listened to the final weekend of September is one to skip.

The three main movies Eagle Eye, Miracle at St. Anna, and Nights in Rodanthe currently have 28% Fresh, 30% Fresh, and 29% Fresh ratings respectively on Rotten Tomatoes.

Also opening is Choke, which is fairing slightly better with a 52% Fresh rating.

Since, I am crying to conserve cash at the moment, I might just listen to the critics this time around.

And that’s this weekend in movies.

It’s been nearly 13 years since I truly had to worry about what a film was rated. As soon as I turned 18, I was old enough to see any film that was released. However, that doesn’t stop me from feeling concerned when I see kids in attendance at films that they are perhaps a…

Hmmm…I just took a look at the Golden Globe nominations. Of the best picture candidates, there are only a small handful of nominations (such as Brokeback Mountain, The Squid and the Whale, and Walk the Line) that I was thinking would get nominated.
