It’s difficult to know just what to expect when you are about to see a musical based on George A. Romero’s 1968 original horror classic – Night of the Living Dead. What you don’t want to see is a bunch of dancing zombies in musical numbers, or songs that take light of the desperate situation […]
Whether it is being trapped in space, or trapped at sea – the hopelessness of being miles and miles away from anyone who can help you has always been frightening. And that is exactly what the 2009 true story of Captain Richard Phillips of the MV Maersk Alabama is about, as told in the 2013 […]

And in between tangents we somehow find time to pick apart (to varying degrees of picked-apartedness) Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, […]

Enter to win a pass for two! Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old-fashioned guy.
