So there goes another year! Goodbye 2011 and welcome 2012. For my movies and music lists I went ahead and included 2010 as well since I totally didn’t do a recap post then. Enjoy! Notable happenings from 2011: WMC Fest 2011. Just watch this video and you’ll see. It was a vast improvement from year one [...]

I recently read Brandon Rike’s blog post “The Curse of Ambition” and it struck a chord with me. Instead of commenting on his blog I wanted to write a follow-up blog entry.  He talks about getting older as a designer and what happens when you finally have something to lose that you never did when [...]

I quietly launched the new JeffFinley.org site. It’s my personal portfolio and blog. After spinning my wheels on trying to design from scratch vs work from a WordPress theme, I ended up going with a theme. I chose Elefolio from WooThemes because not only is the Woo team known for their quality, support, and attention [...]

New Years resolution. Post more personal content, video blogs, and interact with my friends/followers more. Also, start a Tumblr too.

I saw the new film “Brothers” today at the Capitol Theatre. I was eagerly anticipating it mostly because I was shocked they were already remaking Susanne Biers fantastic Danish film Brødre from 2004. The American version stars Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Tobey Maguire. But most American’s haven’t seen it I’m sure, and the storyline [...]

I went to see Beeswax, the new film from Andrew Bujalski. It finally made its way to Cleveland and premiered tonight, and I’d been itching to see it. People have been calling it Bujalski’s breakthrough movie. I could agree with that, but I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. I gave [...]
