  Family is a factor that affects us all, even, or especially, when it's not around. In David Gordon Green's latest movie, "Joe" it is around, but the worst distortion of what it should be. Gary (Tye Sheridan) is a 15 year old boy who knows that his fa...
• Mob City
  on Dec 29, 2013 in Bugsy Siegel Edward Burns Frank Darabont Jon Bernthal LA Noir Milo Ventimiglia Mob City Robert Knepper William Parker
  I like Frank Darabont, perhaps not as much as some do, (The Shawshank Redemption is great, but it's no Cool Hand Luke) but he's a talented guy that always makes a good looking, professional product. (And I love his ending for "The Mist") It's a shame...

  Last year, I took a look at "Joshua," a short film directed by Tim Porter, and starring Cyrus Trafford. Recently, Cyrus got in touch with me to let me know he'd directed something of his own, a 7 minute film called "I'm Christian Okoli" The fil...

  Comic Book Movies are big right now, that isn't news to anyone. The trend only makes sense, as the studios love nothing more than an already known property to bring to life via film. Done well, what could be better for a summer blockbuster than super...
