Once (2006) – Oh, what a thing is hype. There was a time when I worked at the Virgin Megastore in San Francisco. Periodically we would get passes to see movies well in advance of their release. That’s actually how I saw Slumdog Millionaire and Knocked Up. One day I was in the break room … Continue reading →

Les Misérables (2012) – So I’ve been getting more into musicals lately (especially as I am going to start auditioning for them) and hey, it just so happens a new one came out at the end of the year.

Cabaret (1972) – So if any of you know me personally (or have clicked on the “About” page on this very website) you will know that I’m an actor.

Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical (2005) – People often ask me “why do you curse so much, Jake?” Well, I’ll fucking tell you why: All my life growing up, people told me not to. Now, that’s enough to tempt me but not necessarily to sway me to a life of excessive profanity. The kicker was … Continue reading →

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) — Todd sings “I will have vengeance, I will have salvation” and I have generally found that the two are mutually exclusive.  Ok, so now that I’m done being profound on to the movie.  I think the star of this movie is Dante Ferretti, the production … Continue reading →
