DVD Review: Fragile: A Ghost Story
I think labeling this as a horror film is really doing it a disservice. It’s more of a psychological drama, really [as I’m noticing tends to be the theme among Spanish horror films (the writer/director and most of the production staff are Spanish) – Korean and Japanese horror films are known for their hair-raising, blood-chilling ghost stories, and Spanish horror films tend to be more about the characters – about the people and the emotion and the story to be told by the characters, superimposed over some moments of terror]. And at that, it excels.

Movie Review: Gravity
by Mary Anne Butler, Reporter/Photographer Silence. Complete and stunning silence. Until some ass in the front of the theater rustles around for his candy and makes a snide comment. I shush him. He stays quiet, mercifully. It’s very rare…

TV Review: Sleepy Hollow 1×01 “Pilot”

He meets police detective Abbie Mills and they band together to stop the reborn Headless Horseman. One of the cops in this asks the question I’ve always wondered: can he hear what people say? He doesn’t have ears!
