By Jim Hoover I watched the pilot to Falling Skies and the only thing that fell was my high regard for Steven Spielberg. Spielberg’s films have covered many themes and many genres, but we have grown to expect quality from his film-making endeavors. His Schindler’s List, Saving Private…
By: Janice Thurill Collapse is the story of how modern society could probably take a drastic turn for the worse. And it's narrated by Michael Ruppert. Most people call Michael Ruppert a conspiracy theorist because they don't like his ideas, because they don't fit into their picture-perfect world, and…
By Jim Hoover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGXQ1Xwn4ws&feature=player_detailpage#t=63s Unlike traditional coal mining, dynamiting the tops of pristine mountains to extract coal, permanently alters the beauty of the landscape. The Appalachian Mountain System, running 2000 miles from Newfoundland to central Alabama, has graced the landscape of what is the eastern US today, originally formed…
By: John Dyndril Fall From Grace is perhaps one of the most comprehensive looks at the Westboro Baptist Church and its followers, including extensive interviews with Fred Phelps (the minister for the church), his followers—which is almost ninety-percent just the rest of the Phelps family—and experts ranging from Biblical…

Leon Bronstein (played by Jay Baruchel) is a disenfranchised…
By: Victor Sornovich It's not surprising to find out that Zack Snyder, the director behind 300 and Watchmen, wrote and directed Sucker Punch. It becomes most obvious in the slow-motion action sequences layered in CGI animation and special effects. And the lack in dialogue (or good, meaningful dialogue not…
By: Thomas Filkerie When I was first told that I just had to watch a silent film, that it would be for my benefit, I probably had the same reaction that most would have for the past fifty years: Why can't I just watch a film where the actors…

By: Ingril Stobenich There are certain movies that don't need special effects and CGI to move you, to remind you that there is a certain beauty in simplicity. The Big Kahuna does just that. Made back in '99, the film starred Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, and Peter Facinelli. There…
