artist of the month
March 2010 Artist of the Month: Richard Dreyfuss
Submitted by Margaret Williams on Mon, 03/01/2010 - 18:09
Getting his start in 1966 at just age 19, where he appeared on an episode of “Gidget” and “Bewitched,” and working his way up the following year for a bit part in The Graduate, Richard Dreyfuss seems to have never not known professional acting as his career.

We frequently have let current events help dictate who we choose for Artist of the Month, so selecting an artist in February, which has become popularly known as “Black History Month” seems like a no brainer. Narrowing the scope down, however, was a bit more difficult.
December 2009 Artist of the Month: James Cameron (Fan Selection)

The readers have spoken and our artist of the month for December is James Cameron, the director behind notable science fiction contributions like Aliens, Terminator, and (with luck), the upcoming Avatar.
November 2009 Artist of the Month: John Cusack

Twenty years ago we fell in love with Lloyd Dobbler as he held his boom box over his head and professed his love in song to the tune of “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel. Two decades have passed and John Cusack still is making memorable performances across many genres.
Cast Your Vote for the Final Week of Hitchcock Movies
Submitted by Rafe Telsch on Tue, 10/13/2009 - 18:06
When we selected Alfred Hitchcock as our artist of the month, it was hard to whittle down a total of eight movies to focus on from his body of work. Let’s be honest - everyone is going to have their favorite Hitchcock film and no matter what, someone’s going to be disappointed at what we left out. So we decided to give our readers a say in what movies we selected for the month.
October 2009 Artist of the Month: Alfred Hitchcock
Submitted by Rafe Telsch on Thu, 10/01/2009 - 09:41October is traditionally a time for horror. Halloween brings out all the ghosts and ghouls, slashers and stalkers. As we’ve seen in recent years, PG-13 horror flicks have become a dime a dozen - something studios grind out without much artistry to them. Grab the latest sensation from Tokyo, Japan, Korea, or France and remake it with an American twist.
September 2009 Artist of the Month: Matt Damon
Submitted by Rafe Telsch on Tue, 09/01/2009 - 23:23
Our artist of the month for September is a bit of a departure for what I had planned this feature of the website to be. Instead of picking an actor or filmmaker with a solid filmography, with a fair amount of work that might be unfamiliar to the masses, we’re picking a relatively solid box office performer: Matt Damon.
August 2009 Artist of the Month: Nora Ephron
Submitted by Rafe Telsch on Sun, 08/02/2009 - 21:14
If there’s a reason I’m especially hard on the romantic comedies of today, it’s because those of my formative movie years were so strong. Look at the movies of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, movies like When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle, and you’ll see a common thread among them. That thread is writer/producer/director Nora Ephron.
July 2009 Artist of the Month: Johnny Depp
Submitted by Rafe Telsch on Thu, 07/02/2009 - 00:14
Much like many of the characters he’s played, Johnny Depp career really shouldn’t have worked. Rarely does an actor get the chance to redefine himself as many times as Depp has. He started off with great teen heartthrob potential thanks to roles in Nightmare on Elm Street and his part in 21 Jump Street.
