Edited 8/23 622 Here’s the latest trailer for “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark,” directed by Troy Nixey, and opening this Friday.  As happy as I am to see a new horror film that seems to remember that the genre isn’t always  how gorily you can dispose of someone, but can occasionally rise above such […]

Bradley Cooper Leaves ‘The Crow’

And in the Unnecessary Remake Department, Bradley Cooper will no longer play the lead in Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s (unnecessary) remake of Alex Proyas‘ “The Crow.” And the worse thing about remaking the film is that, the concept of the “The Crow” is that some (it doesn’t have to be a man, which would actually be […]
