King Cohen (Blu-ray Review)

Schlocky filmmaking is seriously my cup of tea. That should come as no surprise, considering I host and produce my podcast Cult Cinema Cavalcade.

Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption (DVD Review)

This movie is not very good. That’s a good way to start off something like this! Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption is a very lackluster flick, and ultimately fails in giving the viewers anything new or exciting. Hell, the zombies in the television show Community (in a Halloween themed episode) had richer makeup. Is this movie Nightmare on […]
