When I was tasked with the review of Kirill Sokolov’s film, Why Don’t You Just Die!, I had absolutely no idea what I was walking into. However, I got a pretty good idea once I got into the first twenty minutes of the film, which operates in the live action Looney …

On paper and poster, Soldier of War is what you’d get if an author like Robert McCammon wrote First Blood.  An undead vet who doesn’t know World War II is over wages guerrilla war on the local police with a knife and sticks. In execution, it’s not quite the sum of …

“We’re kind of in a decadent era of horror because almost every filmmaker, certainly in the United States, that’s working in horror today, is always trying to express a debt to a prior generation,” said the world’s greatest and only drive-in movie critic, Joe Bob Briggs, in an interview with …

Gerard Butler is the mall Chinese food of action stars, and I don’t pay that compliment lightly. He may not be to everyone’s taste. Some might turn their nose up at the mention. But if you’ve got the taste the sheer animalistic hankering of the stuff, nothing hits the spot …

You can tell Robert Partridge is crazy because he sets his alarm clock for 6:07 in the morning. The problem is, his alarm goes off a minute-and-a-half into I Am Going to Kill Someone This Friday, and there’s still 102 minutes to go. It doesn’t take much longer for co-writer-director …
