Go Forth And Have The ‘Fright Night’ Of Your Life

I am happy when my optimism is met with pleasing results.  The idea of remaking the 1985 vampire horror/comedy Fright Night seemed like fairly solid idea in my eyes.  There’s a structure to that story that could easily serve as a template for a modern update.  I can’t say that I was initially sold on […]

‘Fright Night’ Scares Up Frights

Let me start out by saying that films are out of my expertise, I am an in your face gamer.  However, I was fortunate enough to attend an advance screening of the film in 3-D.  I would much rather see a film the regular way not only do I think 3-D is stupid but it’s […]

SDCC 2011: DreamWorks: Fright Night

Let the following statements exist purely to serve as my disclaimer.  I went into the press screening of How to Train Your Dragon this past Saturday morning with zero expectations.  I had never heard of the children’s book before and I knew nothing about the plot other than what my fellow reviewer, Gregg Senko, told […]

How To Train Your Dragon Wonderfully Moving

It was only recently in February when I saw an oversized poster for an upcoming animated film called How To Train Your Dragon.  I really wasn’t over-enthused or anxious to see it, but anything with a dragon is intriguing enough for me so I did have at least a little bit of anticipation in looking […]

Comic-Con 2009 Update #16 – Kick Ass

The 6,000 seat capacity Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center was the location for the Kick-Ass discussion panel.  Yes I’m being serious and if the ‘me’ from two weeks ago is like most people out there, then we are on the same page in not having a clue what the rather blunt title […]
