3 things about Franklin J. Schaffner’s THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL
The Boys from Brazil [1978] 1. Bare-breasted woman sweeping the veranda. 2. Before burning the place, the thug carefully retrieves the bust and portrait. 3. Chunk out of his leg. Gregory Peck’s dyed black hair and mustache are everything.

3 things about John Irvin’s GHOST STORY
Ghost Story [1981] 1. Gray on gray hair. Gray skin. 2. An unexpectedly touching moment: John pleads for someone to listen to him. (Isn’t that what we all want at the end of our lives?) 3. Half a Rolls-Royce in … Continue reading
3 things about Saul Bass’ PHASE IV
Phase IV [1974] 1. Squished abdomen. 2. Skittering across her navel. 3. “We didn’t know for what purpose. But we knew we would be told.” Pretty fantastic. Why this isn’t better known and applauded is a mystery. It would make … Continue reading

3 things about Alfred Hitchcock’s DIAL M FOR MURDER
Dial M for Murder [1954] 1. Scissors from her mending basket. 2. Luminous green bedside clock. 3. A bottle of lighter fluid. High-waisted pants, suspenders, a tucked-in necktie. It’s definitely a more involving film in 3-D. Hitchcock is extremely restrained … Continue reading
Funding update: 30 days to go.
31 backers $3,411 pledged of $15,000 goal Holy cats! 22% funded! But the project needs to be 100% funded–or else the deal’s off. Kickstarter is all or nothing. So please. Go check out the project. Every pledge counts!
What we talk about when we talk about color correction.
The biggest item in my Kickstarter budget for Pause of the Clock is color correction. You might ask yourself, what the heck does that mean exactly? Perhaps something like Ted Turner fiddling around with some knobs on a console? Not … Continue reading
