Four months ago I hopped on a plane heading for the west coast, back to the city I was born in but have so little memory of. For the better part of the last four years of college, I’ve lived in seasons: always moving from place to place, nothing was permanent and everything was temporary.ContinueContinue reading “Wrap up thoughts on College & LA: The end of the seasons”

Post Oscars & Sam’s Picks
For the first time, I got to watch the Oscars during normal airing time (perks of living on the West Coast, points for LA). Despite the fact that today was LA’s worst weather since getting out here (it will never be as bad as the Northeast winters though, let’s be honest), good company, entertainment,margaritas andContinueContinue reading “Post Oscars & Sam’s Picks”
The Oscar contenders: Remaining reviews
I had meant to write reviews of each film after watching them but didn’t get around to doing that, so here is an abridged review to those films: Boyhood – There has been so much talk around this 12 year project. It is a project that required an incredible vision and commitment, one which director Richard LinklaterContinueContinue reading “The Oscar contenders: Remaining reviews”
“The Imitation Game” Review
Benedict Cumberbatch has not slowed down in pumping up his resume since last award season, when he was part an ensemble of not just one, or two, but three Academy Award-nominated films (12 Years a Slave, August: Osage County, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug). This award season sees nothing less of his efforts. In MortonContinueContinue reading ““The Imitation Game” Review”
Into the Woods Review
Every now and then we all roll our eyes at the Disney conglomerate that consumes existing stories and “Disney-fy” it. But fairy tales and musicals, that’s Disney’s specialty, at least the classic ones, and Rob Marshall’s new “Into the Woods” is no exception, except that it is. Led by the incomparable Meryl Streep as theContinueContinue reading “Into the Woods Review”
Don’t Look Down: Senior Cinema Thesis Screening
For 4 years I have thought about the dawning of this day, the day when I would supposedly have made the most of my experiences in college as the culmination of my academic learning is manifested in the form of my senior cinema thesis film. It is completely ridiculous to think that the next pagesContinueContinue reading “Don’t Look Down: Senior Cinema Thesis Screening”

When my family moved to Queens in August 2001, the most I’d known about baseball was the fact that my dad had gotten a broken nose from catching a wildpitch at our seminary’s softball game. But very quickly, over the years, my dad would buy my brother and I our first gloves, play catch withContinueContinue reading “2”
OIAF 2014 Recap
About a week ago, I strapped my backpack on, packed my duffle bag (and some food), and hopped on a van with 7 other students and our animation professor and headed north across the border to Ottawa, Canada. I was lucky enough last year to have also gone on the same trip/adventures to the OttawaContinueContinue reading “OIAF 2014 Recap”

Aroma of Christ
“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.”2 Corinthians 2:14&15 It always amazes me to thinkContinueContinue reading “Aroma of Christ”
