13 Days of Halloween: Day 11.5 – Chris Ranson on Tusk (2014)

Title: Tusk (2014) Director: Kevin Smith Runtime: 102 minutes — With Red State, Kevin Smith decided to do things his own way, and try something different and completely out of his realm. He missed a few marks there, and it wasn’t a good film by any means, but it takes gusto for a director of…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) Director: Jonathan Liebesman Runtime: 101 minutes — Some of you may have checked out my series review of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films.

Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Wish I Was Here (2014)

Movie Review – Ashe Collins on Dropping Evil (2012)

Title: Dropping Evil (2012) Director: Adam Protextor Runtime: 82 minutes — Dropping Evil is most definitely an independent film through and through.  It’s also definitely an independent horror film, which means not all the effects are up to par.  What I didn’t know while I was watching this was that, according to IMDB, it was…
