Uncovering
Lost Cinema.
I investigate forgotten actors, analyze overlooked films, and document the stories Hollywood chose to ignore.
For three years, I've been building Rewind Zone—a Feedspot Top 100 Movie Blog dedicated to investigative journalism, film analysis, and critical retrospectives from the '60s through the '00s. This was the era of practical effects, nuanced teen dramas, and character actors who built legends on a single scene.
I don't do "clickbait." I write 3,500-word investigative profiles cited by Wikipedia, exclusive interviews with reclusive directors, analytical deep-dives into forgotten films, curated lists with substance, and comprehensive cast retrospectives that document entire ensembles.
Every review is considered. Every list is justified. Every "What Happened To" profile is fact-checked against multiple sources. This is entertainment journalism that treats cinema—and readers—with respect.
The Investigative
Difference
01. Fact-First
If a date or claim can't be verified by three independent sources, it doesn't make the page. Period.
02. Complete Coverage
Investigative profiles, film analysis, career retrospectives, curated lists, and exclusive interviews. From Animal House stars who vanished to deep-dives on why Lucas created the slow clap.
03. Exclusives
I landed a rare sit-down with Stephen Norrington (Blade) to discuss why he walked away from the industry.
"Mainstream journalism ignores the gems of the VHS era. I don't. Because substance matters more than the algorithm."
What You'll
Find Here
What Happened To: Long-form investigative profiles tracking down actors who vanished from Hollywood. Where did they go? What are they doing now? I find the answers with verified facts and original research.
Then and Now / Cast Retrospectives: Comprehensive deep-dives into ensemble casts from classic films. What happened to every single actor from The Goonies, The Breakfast Club, or American Pie? These pieces document entire casts with current photos and verified career updates.
Film Analysis & Reviews: Deep analytical pieces on films that deserve reconsideration. Not hot takes or star ratings—actual critical analysis examining why certain films work, how they were made, and why they matter decades later.
Curated Lists & Rankings: Evidence-based lists that go beyond the obvious. "Best Performances You've Never Seen," "Underrated Films of 1987," "Character Actors Who Deserved Better." Every entry is justified, researched, and argued with substance.
Exclusive Interviews: Conversations with directors, actors, and crew members who rarely speak publicly. These aren't promotional puff pieces—they're genuine discussions about craft, career choices, and what it means to walk away from an industry.
Career Retrospectives: Examining the complete filmographies of actors and directors who shaped the era. From breakthrough roles to forgotten projects, these pieces document entire careers with context and analysis.
Why I Do This
Born in '81, I grew up in video rental shops. To me, The Goonies wasn't just a movie; it was a blueprint for friendship. This isn't just nostalgia—it's preservation. I document the artists the industry chose to forget.
Transparency & Ethics
Ads: I use manual placements to keep the lights on without ruining your eyes. If you hate them, buy me a coffee.
Sponsors: I only partner with brands I'd recommend to my own family. No exceptions.
Platform: Built on Ghost. It's the best tool for serious writers. Period.
