THE WALKING DECEASED | © 2015 Arc Entertainment

Cast: Dave Sheridan, Joey Oglesby, Tim Olgetree, Sophia Taylor Ali, Danielle Garcia, Mason Dakota Galyon, Troy Olgetree Writer: Tim Ogletree Director: Scott Dow Distributor: Arc Entertainment Rating: Not Rated Movie parodies used to be something of a rarity. And then they were not based on current pop culture but on a genre of cinema. AIRPLANE was not based on a slew of shows about airplanes but rather the dramas and action flicks of the time with a unique storyline and comedic slapstick. Parodies remained a rare thing in Hollywood until the SCARY MOVIE franchise emerged and made a ton of […]Read On »

THE GUNMAN | © 2015 Open Road

The movie version, scripted by Don MacPherson and Peter Travis and directed by Pierre Morel, is not. This would be less of a problem if THE GUNMAN wasn’t trying to be, among other things, a mystery, when the only real […]Read On »

Sheppard, Ruth Connell, Timothy Omundson Writer: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Phil Sgriccia Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: February 17, 2015 By SUPERNATURAL’s tenth season, someone could seriously damage a liver with a drinking game involving instances where Dean (Jensen Ackles) and/or Sam (Jared Padalecki) worry about the harm they cause. Even so, the episode “The Executioner’s Song” earns its emotions fairly, with Dean rightfully terrified of what could happen if he gets his hands on the First Blade again. However, […]Read On »
