About Me

Hello Everyone,

I’m a digital content creator and online marketing consultant livin’ in the Mile High City. I used to live in LA, but came back after realizing how much Hollywood really sucks! I’m not as critical with films as others are on here, I tend to focus more on the technical side of things, like the cinematography techniques, and how effectively stories are told visually. Dialogue is highly over-rated.

And why they changed this website from TheAuterus.com to MUBI.com still baffles me.

Stay way from the new 2010 remake. If you must watch it, wait for the DVD. I'd say Blue-Ray, but I fear that the CGI will look worse in high def. Sometimes, less detail is better. ---- No se lancen a ver la nueva versión de 2010. Si tienen que verla, esperen el DVD. Yo diría Blue-Ray, pero me temo que lso efectos digitales se verán peor en alta definición. A veces, menos detalle es mejor.

good thing you watched "carnival of souls". its a classic horror film that needs some more critical attention. the opening sequence with the car race is great!

Posted a review of the film "Sisters" (1973) from Brian De Palma. Great film!

Interesting thoughts on Polanski's film. You should also check out his masterpiece "Chinatown", especially if you like film noir.

Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire

Another average, urban-stigma-heavy feature. It was well executed, visually. However, my problems stemmed at the base of its story. You name it, this film has it. Teenage peer pressure, rape, physical…  read review

Finally rented this flick over the holiday break. My delayed viewing is common of me, especially with overly-hyped films. The back of the DVD states that Roger Ebert called it “one truly scary film…  read review

The opening car race/game of chicken with oncoming traffic probably does not get the respect it should…as is the case for the film as a whole. This psychological thriller debuted after the decline…  read review

The Hitchcock “Psycho” (1960) and “Rear Window” (1954) references may be a tad extreme, and the experimental aesthetic of most of the film’s cinematography (split-screens, flashbacks, off-kilter framing…  read review
