If there is one genre that Hollywood has tried over and over again, with some success and countless failures, it is the comic-book hero. But unlike others, The Avengers is not just about one comic-book hero, but several. Because of this, the movie is also unlike the others. This probably explains its' wild success, leading it ...

Jeepers Creepers

(Chris Rebholz) 9/28/2012 8:46 AM EST
With Clive Barker's last few films falling on deaf ears and empty seats, writer/director Victor Salva ("Rite of Passage," "Powder," Clownhouse") stepped up to attempt to fill the gap.

Hostel & Hostel II Double Feature

(Chris Rebholz) 9/27/2012 12:17 PM EST
