Favorite Film Director

      It's difficult for me to choose an inspirational director. From Spielberg to Nolan, it took time to choose one, but I finally made up my mind in a period of 30 seconds!

JOSS WHEDON!

      Yes, THE Whedon that made every comic fan around the world shit their pants when he made The Avengers (such a fantastic film). What I love about Whedon is the fact that he always challenges himself as a director. He handles ensemble casts and makes sure everyone has a spotlight. As a writer, Joss Whedon tends to do something different every time instead of rehashing the same concept over and over again. The dialogue he creates is smart, witty, and brilliant, and he has the balls to do the unthinkable (killing a character everyone loves for example). He's made several underrated projects that fans love to this day (Dr. Horrible, Serenity, Firefly, Dollhouse) and has created what is the best comic book film of all time, The Avengers.
      
       Joss Whedon knows how to change the "game" of a story or film (Cabin in the Woods for example) and makes it become something very memorable. It's a shame he can be underestimated at times. Still, his work and skills in writing makes him an influential artist to me.

2014 Oscars Review

It was a difficult choice Sunday. Watch The Walking Dead or the Oscars? Of course, Walking Dead was going to be aired again later on, so in the end, it was the Oscars.

As much as I like Ellen as a host, I think she wasn't at her best like previous years and I thought last year's host did a better job. Yes, at times Ellen was funny, but I felt she was there for the sake of telling jokes popping in and out before and after an award or a commercial.

As for the winners, I was completely surprised American Hustle and even Wolf of Wall Street got NOTHING. Gravity pretty much swept the awards with 7 I believe while Dallas Buyers Club mostly got Best Supporting Actor/Best Actor and 12 Years A Slave gets Best Supporting Actress/Best Picture. The one award I was actually right on was Jared Leto's Supporting Actor and Gravity winning Best Director. Everything else turned out to be different than I thought it would be.

Though not as good as last year's show, the 2014 Oscars was still enjoyable to watch (except the entire idea of Frozen winning). Still, it was better than the episode of The Walking Dead I missed apparently.
