How to Get Your Mojo Back

25 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | SCOREcastOnline.com | See recent SCOREcastOnline.com news »

Ever have those days where you just don't feel like it?

And no matter how much you stare at that blank sequencer page, the notes just aren't forthcoming? And you wonder if you'll ever get that li'l spark of inspiration back..

How do you get your compositional, creative, musical mojo back if it's gone on hiatus and you're suffering a little 'Creative Burnout'?

First: recognise that though you are sadly mojo-less now but that it shall inevitably return again! We've all experienced it from time to time, it's perfectly normal, and there really is light at the end of the tunnel.

Make time to recharge the juices in your creative batteries and then get back in the game. :-)

So… I was brainstorming ideas for this here topic of creativity and creative processes (of course, Creativity 101 is brainstorming, how else would I start)… and my research led me to »

'The Office' recap: You're not the boss of me

20 November 2009 4:10 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

A limo ride, a recycling mythical beast-turned-robot, a former senator, and a serious lack of line-management skills: "Shareholders Meeting" brought us back to the nitty gritty of actual corporate life, and it wasn't pretty. The life I mean. The episode was...okay. Is it bad that I missed Jan for a little bit? Anyway, forget the town car and hop in. We opened with Dwight resuming his "Recyclops" character, who encourages everyone to recycle, and Jim walked us through the evolution of said character, from mere bandana-and-t-shirt to full on robot costume complete with scrolling Led sign. It's a funny bit, »

Fall Frights: Carrie (DVD Review)

5 October 2009 1:23 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.

Carrie is the revenge tale of a high school girl who was picked on one too many times. Carrie White just wanted to be herself and have wonderful fun with her date at the prom. Instead she was forced to use her telekinetic powers to hurt those who were bullying her.

The screenplay by Lawrence D. Cohen is an impressive adaptation of the first novel by Stephen King. The adaptation was by no means an easy feat for the screenwriter. Lawrence D. Cohen had to construct a visual narrative from a novel consisting of police reports, diary and letter entries. The reader relates to Carrie White through other character’s points of view but never the character herself.

Before the Oscars, They Belonged to Us, Part 3

26 February 2009 2:51 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Disclaimer: This article may contain sarcasm; irony and “LOLs” proceed with caution.

The Final Chapter (read Part 2 here)! We have Howard the Duck, Freejack and Shyamalan flicks on the list; these are never good signs. Nonetheless we are bringing it all to you in full-color and in 3-D. (Ed. Note: Due to the economy, 3-D has been dropped and will be replaced by Smell-o-vision — check for your scratch and sniff cards in about 4-6 weeks.) Best Sound went to rage-zombie veterans Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke, leaving Mark Weingarten who worked on Rejuvenatrix in the dust. The Sound Editing section contains one too many references to Ron Silver, and at least two references to a Roger Corman film.

The visual effects category pulled on our heartstrings this year due to the loss of Stan Winston, who was noted en memoriam along with other heroes, Vampira, Leonard Rosenman and Charles H. Schneer »

Before the Oscars, They Belonged to Us, Part 2

25 February 2009 2:52 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Disclaimer: This article may contain sarcasm; irony and “LOLs” proceed with caution.

Our second stab at the Oscars contains make-up effects and score (read part 1 here). The make-up effects, followed by the visual effects and technical awards, remain my favorite parts of the show; here you got to see your heroes: Rick Baker, Howard Berger, Chris Walas or Rob Bottin in the audience. Even the great Stan Winston could have been out there, back in the day. Though best known for his “visual effects” wins—he brought home an Oscar for best make-up in 1991 for Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Here genre fans can rejoice, Greg Cannom brought home the gold, again, for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Cannom, a genre elder, worked alongside (just to name a few) Fincher, Coppola, Landis, Dante, Blatty, and Cohen creating all sorts of character and creature make-ups.
