Not to keep beating the same dead horse, but boy are we starved for new movies right now. Obviously there are a whole bunch of more important things going on, but as someone who has historically used the theatrical experience to cope with the stresses of the […]
Hello everyone, and welcome to the very first installment of my new movie project, The Bucket List! I wrote an introductory piece last week, but just to be thorough, the whole gist of this series will be that I’m slowly working my way through all the variousĀ 1,001 […]
I’ve heard it said that people who have a talent for creating comedy have a natural proclivity towards also making horror. The idea being that both genres are heavily indebted towards timing, something that can be very hard to master. So, if you end up finding yourself […]
