TerrorVision It’s pretty amazing that in this day and age of the 4K / Blu Ray / Home Media / Streaming boom, where various older films and TV shows are constantly being remastered and released in crystal clear high definition presentations, the demands of the market have seen a remarkable downturn in the said remastering […]
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original) Sometimes in the history of cinema there are those films that literally change the world, and in this case we have the 1974 Supreme Classic by Tobe Hooper, a movie that reshaped and redefined horror so much so to the point that the genre went from being a fairly low regarded, […]

13 Going On 30 Sometimes, when it comes to the art of making romantic comedies, or “chick flicks”, the number one ingredient that can bring it all together is charm. Perfect casting helps too, in this reverse-gender version of Big, as Jennifer Garner who, despite her ultra-serious trademark roles in Alias and Electra, comes off […]
