Hard Copy: Aliens: The Set Photography
There were some horrible things that came out in the 1980s. 
Massive shoulder pads, big hair that required a whole can of hair spray to keep in place, Cabbage Patch Kids and David Lynch’s big screen version of Dune to name a few. There were also some amazing things that came out of the 1980s such as Miami Vice, awesome music and the sequel to the sci-fi horror hit Alien. This sequel was appropriately named Aliens and had the tag line, “This time it’s war!” Continue reading

Hard Copy: The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
One of the most anticipated films of 2016 had to be
Rogue One: A Star Wars story. I think one of the reasons for this was that this was the first feature length film set in the Star Wars universe that isn’t about the Skywalker family tree. Fans could have just dismissed the entire concept of a Star Wars film without the characters we grew up loving but they didn’t. They embraced it. Fortunately, the movie wasn’t just good; it was everything I had hoped and expected. Bottom line is that Rogue One: A Star Wars story is a great war movie. Continue reading
