Only the British could come up with a plot as insane as “A Romantic Comedy. With Zombies.” This film was a pleasant surprise to come out in 2004. It’s one of those horror-comedies that find the right balance between the two genres.

The movie “Sin City” comes out on DVD today. However, most hardcore movie fans will be quick to point out that the only Special Feature on the DVD is a Behind the Scenes featurette and that everyone should wait until around November when a big extended multi-disc Special Edition is expected to come out. Sadly,…
After missing it’s release two week ago, today I will be seeing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as it opens in IMAX. As a result, I thought that I would go back eight years and look back at the original Harry Potter film. The first film remains my personal favourite for the reason that…
