“There’s no backstabbing here… it’s just business.” The H-Bomb: The 2000’s, for the most part, have not been kind to Brian De Palma, the high style auteur of such modern classics as Carrie, Scarface, and Dressed to Kill. Yes, in 2002 he did bring us Femme Fatale, which is a personal favorite, but he was also responsible for the super dumb Mission to Mars, the wretched … [Read more...] about Passion

After being told that her portfolio is a bit too... rustic, she decides it's time to get some new photos. Problem is, professional photographs are just so damn expensive.
