MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Blended’
May 23rd, 2014 Sam Cohen Film: Blended Directed by: Frank Coraci Starring: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore I had hope walking into Blended.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Last Stand
January 18th, 2013 Justin Proper Film: The Last Stand Director: Kim Ji-woon Writer: Andrew Knauer Studio: di Bonaventura Pictures Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger? No, not the Governor of California, I mean the real Arnold. The one that kicked a lot of ass and blew tons of stuff up.

EDITORIAL: “Resident Evil 5: What the Horror Flick’s Performance Tells Us About Industry Trends in 2012”
September 18th, 2012 Boris Paskhaver Sequel may be a dirty word among jaded moviegoers but it remains an exciting one for most of Hollywood.
