It was a long road to get there and for every Dark Knight there is the Fantastic Four series. Continue reading ‘Top 5 Game to Film Should’ve Beens’

Before October 8th, 2009, I had no idea there was a movie out there called Paranormal Activity. On October 9th, I saw the film and you can bet that I will never forget it. In a year filled with a lot of garbage as far as movies go, I stress to you, I urge you to go see this film. I’d say it was a breath of fresh air, but the movie was so overpowering at times that it literally took my breath away. Continue reading ‘Gregg Experiences Paranormal Activity’

Usually I would not do something this bold in life, but there was something about these two guys at Cinema Wasteland this past Saturday that had me intrigued. While walking through the vendor booths at Cinema Wasteland’s Bi-Annual horror convention in Strongsville, Ohio I came across the table of Ray Basham and team. I can’t remember which one of them was talking to me, but all I remember is this guy getting in my face and telling me “this sh$% is not right.” Continue reading ‘Cinema Wasteland ’09 – Hillbilly-Bob Zombie’
