The ever-changing world of monster special effect is examined in Creature Designers: The Frankenstein Complex. The love of monsters comes from a deep seeded fear of the unknown, which is with us from our earliest memories. From the early works of Lon Chaney and Jack P.

I’ll probably say that is far from the funniest of Smith’s films, with the funniest material appearing towards the beginning. However, I do think the film is old with its

This film gets a bit more….visual, and I have to admit that it was slightly distracting (this film is definitely NOT wholesome family entertainment). However, I also thought the film

You can definitely say that Seth Rogen has become a big start in a very short period. It has been only three years, since he had his first real prominent film role in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Pineapple Express mixes a stoner comedy with an action film. Like last year’s Superbad, it was written
