Rather Ireland was the Roman Catholic Church. Now it’s a free country. The Church approved, aided and abetted abusers of thousands of children for decades in Ireland, the domestic abuse and virtual slavery of women, the... Read more

Here’s the quirkiest funny movie I’ve seen in years. (If you missed it in the theaters,  as I did its time to see it now. “What We Do in the Shadows” is the ultimate “mocumentary” reality TV-style feature film (yes they have a sense of humor in New Zealand!) about what bachelor vampires’ lives are really like. If you loved “This is Spinal Tap” and/or the original British version of “The Office” then this movie is for you. Here’s how... Read more

At the End of the Day is a feature-length comedy written and directed by Kevin O’Brien. Here’s my interview with Kevin: Frank Tell me about yourself? I’m a filmmaker in central Florida. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart  for 14 years and we have three kids in the third grade (yup). I got into filmmaking a bit late, and made a full time job out of it at 31 years old.

  I’ve always wanted to spy on my neighbors. Now I can. When drones piloted from “over the horizon” become as ubiquitous as iPads and smartphones and as idiot-proof as using email, then not only Google will be able to look into my neighbor’s back yard.

So the skies will be full.... Read more
