The ten best films based on the terrifying works of the unequivocal Master of Horror.

Throughout all time, the clashes between altruistic honor-seeking heroes and their self-serving villainous counterparts have been the basis for great storytelling.  Epic legends detailing the exploits from the forces of good and evil have stood the test of time.  Every story ever passed from one generation to the next are built upon these very tales.

The biggest Hollywood award ceremony has finally come to a close.  We take a look at the best (and worst) the Oscars had to offer last night and how well this year's event went down. 

Some films do a great job of bringing a novel or a comic, or even a video game to life on the silver screen.  Others...don't.  I highlight five films that did not survive the transition unscathed.

We recently sat down with Jeremy Snead, of Dallas-based production company Mediajuice Films, to get some real insight into the filmmaking industry, pursuing what you love, and whether or not Spiderman could really beat Strider Hiryu.

“What were they thinking?”  Typically, in the film industry, this phrase is reserved for directors, producers, actors or the like who are being questioned about decisions they have made regarding certain filmmaking, technical, artistic or befuddling choices.

Henry Every or William Kidd.

Recently, as I was commuting from my day job to home, a commercial aired over my favorite radio station that brought back memories of my younger, more idealistic days in the industry.  I was a young and naïve performer filled with more hope than knowledge and I, as many before and I’m certain many after me will be, was taken in by one of the oldest talent scams in the business.

I’m very proud to see the Director’s Guild of America making history.  For the first time in its 62 years, the DGA has finally awarded its top honor, the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film, to a female director, none other than Kathryn Bigelow, who helmed the visceral and gritty war film “The Hurt Locker”, an almost docu-style film that follows a member of the Army’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal team through a rotation in Iraq.
