Since joining the NMS team, Dan has offered his expertise to a variety of Entertainment clients, including those within the fields of sports, film, television, and gaming.
Additional titles he claims include most loyal fan of The Band (yes, that was born in 1978), the biggest Penn State football fan ever to graduate from the University of Michigan, and (hopefully) the future historian of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
Over the past few weeks, I have been infatuated with surveying my friends’ and online peers’ reactions to The Hangover – always hoping to hear effusive praise. The film is already a financial winner – with over $150 million dollars at the box office in less than a month – but I want to see its bottom dollar soar. It is the rare movie that not only tickles me, but also perfectly represents my philosophy about the way the industry should trend, to the point that I feel personally invested in its success.

This week’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine downloading “debacle” has to be one of the most compelling stories in movie piracy on the internet to date – fascinating on a number of levels. If you have missed the story to this point, Deadline Hollywood Daily is as good of place as any to start.

I finally got around to watching Darren Aronofsky's provocative 1998 movie, Pi, last week, and it was one of those films that left me highly intrigued, but with a bit of a post-viewing haze. While I appreciated the complexity, I certainly wasn’t finished digesting it when the credits rolled. This is the type of situation I believe should be tailor-made for the IMDb message boards.

So, does this Rounders trailer foretell a movie with such cultural cache? Not hardly, but you can only blame the film’s backers so much for underestimating the potential grab a card game possessed.
