The Wolfman – Blu-ray Review

May 31, 2010, 15:09 GMT

Being a fan of classic Universal horror, I really have to give props to Universal for staying true to the original ‘Wolf Man’ in tone unlike, say, their more adventure-inclined remake of the ‘The Mummy’. But, unfortunately, that’s where the props end as the big-budget ‘Wolfman’ remake is more a film to admire in attempt rather than achievement. ... more

DVD Review: Hannibal Rising (Unrated)

May 30, 2007, 13:12 GMT

There is a certain folly in always trying to explain the origins of evil (and popular movie villains).
