(Leonard Buccellato) 11/19/2018 10:58 PM EDT When Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg work together we, the moviegoers, are undoubtedly prepared for a fast-paced and excitement-filled movie ala Deepwater Horizon and Lone Survivor. We are also likely to be treated to an action film that is able to connect its characters to the audience.Mile 22 delivers an action-centric, yet, otherwise, flawed, thril... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 8/29/2018 10:37 AM EDT It's difficult to believe that eight seasons of this show have passed, and in fact, in just a few short weeks, season 9 will begin. When it was first announced that TWD was being picked up by AMC, I was beyond excited. Being a fan of the comic books, as well as Zombie movies/books, in general, I couldn't wait. Like many fans I have spoken... Read More |

(Leonard Buccellato) 5/24/2018 9:00 AM EDT Clint Eastwood is an icon. There's no debate here, his impact on Hollywood as an actor, producer, and director cannot be overstated. His last three films have been about everyday heroes that have managed extraordinary feats of courage and it seems his goal is to counteract the superhero culture prevalent in Hollywood today. I fo... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 5/6/2018 8:15 PM EDT The Maze Runner franchise follows the story of young boys who find themselves trapped in a prison-like enclosure, held by an organization known as W.C.K.D. Some have tried to escape through a connected maze but none make it out alive. The boys must find a way to escape and figure out why they were taken and who the W.C.K.D. really is.Fast forw...

(Leonard Buccellato) 4/24/2018 9:54 PM EDT Horror film originality was and is a hard thing to come by. The genre is replete with derivative, and often times, unmemorable dreck. Once in a blue moon, we see filmmakers attempt to push the envelope and try something new. The Chiodo brothers managed to do just that in 1988 with the fan favorite, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.In case you have be... Read More |

Infected with a virus that sends them into a homicidal frenzy, the locals turn on each other in an orgy of bloody violence. As the army cordons off the town and government agents clash with scientists over the appropria... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 4/9/2018 5:02 PM EDT Hot on the heels of the game-changing, and now legendary, Night of the Living Dead, George and his production company, The Latent Image, set out to prove to Hollywood and the cinema world, at large, that they were capable of more, and so they released There's Always Vanilla AKA The Affair.Unlike almost all other Romero films, Vanilla is not a h...

(Leonard Buccellato) 3/13/2018 8:32 AM EDT Fear the Walking Dead took some time to walk on steady legs, but season 3 bolted out of the gate with the Military compound being overrun and quickly continues with the unexpected death of Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis; Live Free or Die Hard) while eventually, Madison (Kim Dickens; Gone Girl) and her kids make it to the (relative)...
