I’ve only done a handful of interviews in my lifetime, and most of them are through email because I tend to get tongue-tied and spew nonsense that makes me look like the star-struck fan that I am. And I don’t mind looking like a fan. But when I was offered …

Last weekend, I was invited to attend media night for the Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor haunted maze event in Long Beach, California. I had never attended such an event, and to say I was excited, thrilled and honored is an understatement. The more I read about it, the more elated I …

We all deal with traumatic events in our lives in our own ways. Some keep it to themselves and never let anyone else know what happened. Some scream about it from the rooftops, and some just prefer to be left alone. Some write a song, or a movie or a …

I don’t like war movies. I don’t like period pieces. I especially don’t like period pieces about war. But Trench 11 is different. Set during the last days of WWI, this film is full of slimy worms, biological weapons, and one of the best exploding head scenes I’ve ever seen… …
