Movie Review – Ashe Collins on Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Title: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Director: James Gunn Runtime: 121 minutes — I honestly know next to nothing about this portion of the Marvel comic universe. I’m more into X-Men and have a vague idea about the Avengers and Spider-Man. I have seen them head off and deal with different space issues before, but…


Movie Review – Ashe Collins on Mold! (2012)

Title: Mold! (2012) Director: Neil Meschino Runtime: 86 minutes — I expected Mold! to be something kind of serious; the cover makes it look that way, even with the blurb on the back and comparisons they make. The inside cover has what I’m guessing should have been on the outside of the box in the…


Movie Review – Ashe Collins on Axeman (2014)

Title: Axeman (2014) Director: Joston Theney Runtime: 105 minutes — Axeman is a horror film starring Scot Pollard as the titular axe-wielding psycho.

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

Title: Wish I Was Here (2014) Director: Zach Braff Runtime: 106 minutes — I never liked Garden State, Zach Braff’s first turn as a writer/director/star, and I didn’t enjoy Scrubs. Frankly, I thought going to Kickstarter for this film was a shame because, let’s face it, if it was good, Hollywood would have eaten it…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Begin Again (2014)

Title: Begin Again (2014) Director: John Carney Runtime: 104 minutes — Once is one of my favorite movie musicals. It’s perfectly acted and filled with excellent music. So when I heard director John Carney had a new “musical” film out – a term I feel loosely describes the experience these two movies deliver – I…

DVD Review – Chris Ranson on Murder University (2012)

I’d never heard of Murder University before it arrived in my mailbox. It is possible that I saw the DVD at the store, but I’m sure I would have just glanced over it like I do many indie horror outings that I have never heard of. With that being said, I am so happy to…
