I must admit that when I heard that Zach Snyder had cast Henry Cavill as Superman in the upcoming reboot, I didn’t think much of the decision. First, Zach Snyder was directing, which is an issue depending upon what you think about what he has done so far. I think that he’s competent, but not […]
If you’re a horror fan–and who isn’t?–you probably hold Tom Holland’s Fright Night high in your pantheon of horror films. It’s being remade by DreamWorks Pictures and stars Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin and David Tennant and is directed by Craig Gillespie
I like movies–which has more than a little to do with me writing for a movie website–though superhero films hold a special place in my heart.
