2018 Twin Cities Actor Expo.

2018 Twin Cities Actor Expo

I have attended the Twin Cities Film Festival ( http://twincitiesfilmfest.org/ )for various sites along the years and was thrilled at all of the great movies I saw there.  Many of them were created by and starred people from my home state of Minnesota  and I was amazed.    On April 7th 2018.   The folks from TCFF are presenting a great event where actors from all different aspects(stage, film, tv,voice,ect) can come together and network  with each other.

There will be lots of great panels and workshops that are perfect for novice and professional actors.  Along with opportunities to meet with a lot of the top talent agencies as well.  It’s also a great way for actors to meet filmmakers and audition for upcoming projects.

You can learn about all of this and more by visiting the site below

Why The Final Smile in ‘Magnolia’ is one of the best moments in movies.

 

Hello Everybody.

 

 

Over on the site That Moment In.  The same place where you can listen to  The very cool podcast, Cinema Recall.  I wrote an article about one of my favorite moments in movies.  The ending of Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Magnolia’.  No, not the the frog sequence.  I’m talking about the final shot of Claudia Wilson Gator(Melora Walters) smiling at the camera.  It is one of the best sequences in movies, and I’m here to explain why

Best Movies of 2017 and The Vern Visits 3 Amazing Podcasts

Hello Everyone

 

I hope you had a great week and are enjoying the new year.   Speaking of which I am behind on posting my favorite movies of 2017 for this site.

Here is  20-10 of what I feel are the best movies of 2017.  The only criteria is that all the movies in this list are ones I saw in theaters

The Vern goes deep into the sea and reviews The Shape of Water

Look at this flick,

I saw last week

All I  have to say is  I think it’s really neat.

Wouldn’t you think that Del Toro

Can  do anything.

Ripping off Songs

Right off of one from Disney’s renaissance

Reading this post, here you think

Sure, He’s an idiot.

Alright alright, I can’t think of any more ways to rip off any more lyrics to steal from that song, but if you know what some I’m shamelessly doing a bad cover of.  Let me know in the comments.   I have been busy working on episodes of Cinema Recall and there was also Christmas, which should have giving me more time to write up posts, but instead I was with family members at a place that doesn’t get quite as good wifi.  Plus it was Christmas, and I really didn’t  want to write much stuff anyways.   I still need to write up my top 10 of the year, and I will post that after New Years.  Most likely  it will post over at Cinema Recall, but it will post here shortly afterwards.

One of the movies that for sure will be on my best of 2017 list is The Shape of Water.  I recently recorded a review of this movie for Cinema Recall and eve included a link for a written review by one of our staff writers over at That Moment In

Cinema Recall Podcast: The Killing of a Sacred Deer(2017)

The Killing of a Sacred Deer was the latest movie from Yargos Lanthimos.  I was such a big fan of Dogtooth, and The Lobster.(click each link to read the reviews)  This was a movie I was looking most forward to.   I recently reviewed this feature over on the site That Moment In.  Be sure to listen to the podcast, because there is a bonus review of an earlier film from Nicholas Winding Refn(Drive, Bronson)
