Warner Bros. has released the first teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and I feel a little underwhelmed. With that being said, I know this is only a teaser for a movie that is still 11 months from being released so I will do my best to treat it as such.

Empathy Machines - What is this blog?


Hello, readers! Thanks for reading my blog. Creating this blog is something I've been considering doing for a long time now, given my love of all things in the arts - especially movies.

I wrote this a long time ago, but some may find it enjoyable even though the time has passed:

This morning the 2014 Oscar Nominations were announced, and I’m a little disappointed by a few oversights made by the academy (I recognize that my credibility is very little here because I did not see a few of these films). One such failing is regarding the date when a film is released and how that date can have so much bearing on how much it is recognized by the academy for awards. For example, The Place Beyond the Pines was a fantastic film that easily should have been nominated (along with its amazing score). Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper could have been nominated for it, along with Derek Cianfrance, the director over their fantastic work. But, because it was released the back in April, it isn’t given much attention.
