No, I’m not reviewing the new Fame DVD. Thank god. Even I have some standards. However, both selections this time definitely tie into the musical theme.

It’s by no means anything new or surprising, but lately I’ve thinking about the number for musicians that have given up the glitz and glam of rock n’ roll to become film composers. There have been many musicians who have dabbled in score composing, doing one or two films over the years. Neil Young provided [...]

The variety that will be seen out of the IP Movie staff’s lists will be interesting, and tell a little about their personalities, as well as the types of movies they enjoy.

Robert Saucedo’s favorite films of the last decade.

The 10 I’ll remember the Aughts by…

Ultimately, the Top 10 list is about that particular person and what films stuck with them the most.
