And now we see that ballroom and rock also don’t mix. DANCING WITH THE STARS – Season 14: Rock Week blew a fuse, but not in a good way. It was close to a disaster; nearly everyone under performed, while gallantly trying to keep up with music more suitable for head banging than heel-toe pivots. Even […]Read On »

But things aren’t looking good for Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanaugh who were also in the bottom three. Funny, I’ve been railing on DeAndre all year because I didn’t get what the judges loved so much about him. Glad […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Brian Geraghty, Alice Eve, Josh Peck Writer: Chris Sparling, story by David Brooks & Chris Sparling Director: David Brooks Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date: April 6, 2012 At the beginning of ATM, we have genuine curiosity about what we’re seeing. By the end of the movie, we get an explanation and realize that there was the potential for a good thriller here. However, what we get in the middle is one of those horror thrillers where the main characters behave in such counter-intuitive ways that we lose patience with them. It’s a freezing cold night as an […]Read On »
