June 25, 2014 Twenty-five years ago today, I was at the Malco getting ready to watch a movie that I'd been looking forward to for months. As it's opening day got closer, I got more excited...no thanks to Michael Keaton.
June 14, 2014 On March 1st, 2014, the Owensboro Convention Center played host to the annual River City Festival of Films--an extraordinary event which has grown by leaps and bounds since its beginnings in a vacant space at Towne Square Mall.
What's a summer movie season without the re-imagining of a few TV shows, a cop buddy movie or two and a slew of sequels?
Dumb and Dumber is one of those movies that you just can't help but laugh while watching, am I right?!? Sure, it's totally stupid, but that's the charm, ha!
When rumors started to surface of a sequel, I was pretty excited. The trailer for Dumb and Dumber To was just released and it's as ridiculous as you'd imagine. Oh... I wouldn't suggest you watch this with your kiddos, it's adult-only, ha!

May 18, 2014 I've known Owensboro filmmaker P.J. Starks for about six years. It was in 2008 that he was a guest on The Screening Room, a talk show hosted by Chad Benefield and myself from 2001 through 2011.

May 15, 2014 Three friends--Dallas Lee Blanton, Angela Yonts, and Nathan Austin--who met at Murray State University will be producing a new film about the Civil War in western Kentucky this summer.
April 21, 2014 We can hear the screams now. The release date has been set for the Magic Mike sequel and Kizzy is excited. Find out the release date and the name of the follow-up here!
April 18, 2014 When the sad news came Friday morning that local icon Hal Miller had passed away, I immediately began recalling all the great times my family and I spent at Windy Hollow over the years. That includes my one and only movie role. Well, I was an extra.
Last month, the characters from Disney's blockbuster hit "Frozen" performed songs from the movie with a live orchestra at a promotional concert. Here are a few of the amazing performances including "Love Is An Open Door" and "Do You Want To Build A Snowman".
Can we all just agree that Kristen Bell's performance was just perfection! Watch these videos and I think you will!
I think it's safe to say that at this point, the only people who have seen Disney's "Frozen" more than me are the film editors. Heck, we watched it twice yesterday, ha! So, you can imagine how surprised I was when Carsyn told me that Rapunzel and Flynn/Eugene are in the movie. What?!? I know all the words to the songs and pretty much all the dialogue at this point and you're telling me I didn't notice Rapunzel?!? Nope, I sure didn't! Did you?!?
