The film tells the tale of the development of the best-selling video game franchise ‘Grand Theft Auto’ by British brothers Sam and Dean Houser. It stars Daniel Radcliffe and Ian Keir Attard as the aforementioned brothers, and Bill Paxton as the …
It has often been said that death-metal is the best metal, and therefore the best music genre around. And anyone who disagrees with that is probably a fan of other musical persons who shall not be named. And when it comes to accurately capturing the power of METAL, I think Deathgasm may be onto something here. Because demons and stuff. METAL! Metal-thrashing …
