The screener description and the IMDb synopsis are both …

Dale Fabrigar’s ‘D-Railed’ (2018) Movie Review

Wade in the Water

Admittedly, I first leaped at the opportunity to review Wade in the Water for an obvious reason: It has my first name in the title! Fortunately, I enjoyed watching it beyond the novelty of that coincidence. In fact, it’s a fairly memorable film, and possibly worth owning. Why? Mark Wilson’s Wade …

Halloween Hijinks: Review Of New Comic Book Series, ‘Blood And Gourd’

I love a good old fashioned Halloween romp. Moreover, I feel like it’s an experience growing scarcer and scarcer.
