Posted: July 21, 2010 at 12:25 pm   /   Local, Movie News

I know what some of you are thinking, “Oh great another Wyatt Earp movie.” Only because that was one of the first things I thought as well. However, this is an updated Wyatt Earp tale that is set in the future. Combine this with Raimi’s comic book sensibilities and you have a win-win situation on […]

Legendary Pictures picks up Warren Ellis’ ‘Gravel’

Posted: October 9, 2009 at 12:05 pm   /   Local, Movie News

Ellis’ stories are very hard to adapt for the screen. Why? Well, because they are incredibly nihilistic and […]

‘Venom’ Movie gets Gary Ross as Writer/Director

Posted: October 8, 2009 at 12:55 pm   /   Local, Movie News

If you look through his body of work, he is responsible for a certain type […]

Drag Me To Hell

Posted: May 28, 2009 at 10:01 pm   /   DVD News, Local, Movie Reviews

I always like to let people know from the beginning if I am biased one way or another about a film. Everyone has some sort of bias, however as a critic you have to try and remove that and judge a film on it’s own merits. I’m not a huge fan of the horror genre, […]
