After cramming in so many live screenings at theaters in the run up to the SAG Awards, it’s refreshing to curl up on the couch and tackle my Netflix queue. In keeping with the FBC Films target genres, I watched a creature feature, horror film and a thriller recently. Blackfish is absolutely a creature feature,

On My Watchlist: If You Build It
January 21, 2014 – Posted in: Film ReviewI was lucky enough to get a free ticket to an advance screening of the documentary, If You Build It (thanks NY WIFT!). If You Build It is directed by Patrick Creadon and tells the story of Studio H, an alternative education program launched by two designers, Emily Pilloton and Matthew Miller, in a woefully
On My Watchlist: Helix, The Europa Report, Apollo 18, and the Golden Globes
January 16, 2014 – Posted in: Film ReviewIs anyone watching Helix? I was definitely intrigued by the trailers, which seemed to suggest zombies in outer space. I am impressed enough by the pilot that I’ll watch this week. It’s nice to see Billy Campbell in a star turn again. I had to look up Jordan Hayes, who plays 26-year old genius Dr.
Film Review: Blue Jasmine, Philomena, One Chance, 12 Years A Slave
December 3, 2013 – Posted in: Film ReviewBlue Jasmine is the sort of movie I should love. I’m a personal finance/ business news junkie, and this film tells the story of the scorned wife-turned-widow of a Bernie Madoff-like financier. Cate Blanchett puts in a great performance, and Alex Baldwin phones it home playing every other role he’s played recently, except here he’s

On My Watchlist: Nebraska, Kill Your Darlings, Fifth Estate, Fruitvale Station
November 11, 2013 – Posted in: Film ReviewNebraska is an Alexander Payne movie, starring Bruce Dern as an elderly man heading to Nebraska to cash in a winning lottery ticket that is really just one of those magazine subscription advertisements. It’s a well-acted ensemble movie, but way too indulgent for me. I don’t really want to spend 2 hours watching two adult
On The Set Of Memorable Minorities
October 28, 2013 – Posted in: Memorable MinoritiesOur latest project filmed last week and here is a behind-the-scenes tour: Bruce Faulk, Director, and Benton Greene, actor (Webisode 1 – The Museum). Benton also starred in FBC Films' first project, The Battle Below, and was interviewed in an earlier post Director of Photography, Steve Gladstone, and Melody Cooper, actor (Webisode 1 – The
On My Watch List: The Butler, Rush, Gravity and Captain Phillips
October 9, 2013 – Posted in: Film ReviewThe Butler was good like Luna bars are good (i.e., super tasty but you won’t mistake this for dessert). I appreciated The Butler, but didn’t enjoy it. Of course, the subject matter is super difficult to tackle and the film did an admirable job here, successfully navigating the delicate line between being too preachy and
