I love action movies. I find them enthralling, emotive and the purest form cinema can take. Yet, it's no secret that the genre is fairly derided in my most cinematic circles. Sure, people will talk up DIE HARD or PREDATOR, but what about the chill that runs down ones...
Until I met Justin Decloux I only ever really watched one movie in a day. And then I wanted to impress him so much that I started watching six movies a day. Finally I realized that he liked me enough that I could ease back to maybe three or four a day. And that brings...

Part #2 of the The Great Shock-A-Thon of 2016 "Movie Night!" I screamed at the top of my lungs to my partner Emily Milling. I turned off the lights, except for the kitchen one because one of us finds the complete darkness too scary, and settled in on the couch for a...
I'm going to watch as many horror films as I can till October 31st. Why? Because I love horror films! That's why! The rules are simple: Minimum one horror film a da that I haven't seen or have very little memory of, so no Evil Dead 2 screenings, and then I'll write up...
