Instead of splurging on action this week, Cherokee Rose took more of a character-development approach, giving us another week to contemplate the different complexities of the relationships within our group of survivors.  While some may see this as another slow episode for Season 2, I see it as a shining indication of what we can look forward to in the next nine episodes. This week on The Walking Dead we are given development and movement in our characters.  This is something we have all been craving as our favorite survivors...

Call it my man child ways but I have a certain place for “scary” kids movies. Think 2006′s Monster House, or 2009′s Coraline. Which brings me directly to ParaNorman which is actually from the makers of Coraline. Between this trailer, the Plot description and the poster I’m already sold on seeing this film come next August 17, 2012 when the film releases. The voice cast is also loaded with talent as well including the likes of Anna Kendrick (50/50), Leslie Mann (Funny People), John Goodman and Casey...

We Need to Talk About Kevin looks like an intense, utterly chilling film. The film is based on a novel of the same name by Lionel Shriver.  It appears that it is a film about a mother and son who never bonded, and the kid appears to grow up with some evil feelings about his mother.  The trailer is fantastic and does a great job of conveying the feel of the film.  The use of Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” is a great choice.  The film only has three main cast members: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, and Ezra Miller....

Anonymous brings a very speculated upon issue to light, although this particular mystery will never really be put to rest. The authenticity of William Shakespeare can be questioned, but his name is still carved into history as the greatest writer to have lived. Whether or not any of these theories are true, Anonymous tells a very different story of William Shakespeare. The story begins in modern-day, following an older man headed towards a theater. The play that night? Anonymous. So, the older gentleman turns out to be the narrator,...

I’ve always thought I had a bit of a punk rock mentality. Though I have a job and pay my bills I felt that the little bit of trouble I could stir up on the weekend could keep me in the game. That was until I saw Dragonslayer, and no not the 1981 Disney classic either. What I learned from the tag- along documentary by Tristan Patterson is that being a chaos hobbyist is nowhere near what it takes to live that punk rock lifestyle. Dragonslayer follows the life of Pro Skater Josh “Skreech” Sandoval, but not during...

There really is something special about dick and fart jokes, isn’t there? Done properly, they allow for mindless entertainment and nights full of side stitches from laughing so hard you scare the cat. I mean, in a media full of awful ideas and recycled trash, why not go with a format that is ticket sale gold time and time again? I mean, hell, Kevin Smith and his View Askew Productions has managed to make an entire career out of them. And if you think about it logically, Harold and Kumar really don’t stray too far...

Sometimes movies need to be quiet in order to be heard.  Take Shelter is such a movie, favoring eerie scenes to epic explosions and quiet revelations to glaring conclusions.  This Hitchcock-esque film will have you on the edge of your seat and lost in dreams of pre-apocalyptic proportions without having to bribe you with CGI and 3D gimmicks.  This is one quiet thriller you don’t want to miss. Noah’s story wasn’t just about building an ark or loading the animals in by twos.  He was firstly a man given visions...
