Movie Review: Starry Eyes (2014)

Especially around this time of the year, with awards season in full swing, it’s almost impossible to not be lured in by the glamour that seemingly embodies the Hollywood lifestyle. But as we’ve seen time and time again, there’s a dark side to all the glitz and glamour, and that side has never seemed quite

This week my quick-fire Q&A features a chat with mega talent Casey Callender, an artist I have been following with great interest for some time.

Movie Review: Wolves (2014)

Sight unseen, Wolves is already an intriguing beast, as it marks the directorial debut of a pretty big name in Hollywood. David Hayter, who also wrote the werewolf flick, has penned a handful of superhero movies in the past decade, including X-Men, X-Men 2 and Watchmen.

Movie Review: The Atticus Institute (2015)

I often say that a horror movie need not reinvent the proverbial wheel to be effective, as sometimes all one needs to do is simply roll it well. That’s something last year’s standout possession movie, The Taking of Deborah Logan, very much did, and 2015 kicks off on a similar note with The Atticus Institute.
