When one here's the name Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective) the first thing that pops into one's mind is generally slapstick, physical comedies and immature, unintelligent characters. It was a gamble then for him to take on a depraved and serious film such as Dark Crimes. The story, as the title would suggest, is dark and some woul... Read More

Remember those books where the ending you got depended on which plot you chose? Imagine being able to do the same thing with a television show. HBO took that concept and while they didn't completely transfer it, they certainly updated it to incorporate today's technology. Imagine an app for your phone that allows you to choose dif...
