I caught the film Rec 4 – the fourth in the Spanish and Spanish-language zombie horror flicks (the first of which was remade in the US as Quarantine). I’m actually surprised to say that I rather liked this new film… … Continue reading
Mark Whalberg’s new film The Gambler is one exceedingly odd film. It’s about a college professor having an existential crisis who is deep in debt to two different loansharks. He manages not to get whacked because he genuinely doesn’t seem … Continue reading
