When I first heard of the new streaming platform Quibi – I honestly had zero interest. My whole life I’ve worked my way up from watching TV on a 12-inch black and white screen when I was a boy to finally having a 60 inch HDR monstrosity in my viewing room so why in the […]

An estranged father and daughter pick the absolute worst place and time to get together and try to iron out their problems. The time is in the middle of a category five hurricane that is slamming into the coast of South Florida. The place is the dank and disgusting crawl space underneath their now abandoned […]
You have got to love the premise – a hurricane traps some folks in a flooded house and things go from bad to worse when some big ass alligators decide to make a stop for a little snack. Now that’s what I call a movie – it’s called CRAWL and today, I’ve got a trailer […]

The third in writer/director Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy is the cult favorite. For many, it’s the first film in the franchise they saw. It gave us […]
 “You bastards. Why are you torturing me like this? WHY?!” Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) ponders this aloud to the Deadites torturing them.

After a pilot as kickass as El Jefe, one wonders how Ash vs. The Evil Dead could keep up that momentum. After all, that pilot for the series was directed and co-written by Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi, who has publicly stated that he isn’t as heavily involved in the show at large beyond serving […]
