Saying Stephen King is a prolific writer would be like saying Mike Trout is good at baseball. The very definition of an understatement. King has written over fifty books, all of them bestsellers, and most of them eventually being adapted for the silver screen. Some of the resulting movies...

Call Me Doctor Feelgood Were you alive in the eighties? If not, do you wish you had been? And, most important of all, do you rock? All four members of the great rock and roll glam band Motley Crüe – Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and Nicki Sixx...

Apologies are due for what I intend to be a brief opening rant. Feel free to skip to the “Glass” subheading below, but for those otherwise inclined I would share an observation or two about the evils of going to the movies on a Saturday. As your favorite Doctor...

Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers is an interesting film, to say the least. Although the Akkad family was still involved, Halloween 6 was released by Dimension Films, and the collective powers that be had to make a crucial decision on how to proceed with the franchise following...
