When Pixar wunderkind Brad Bird made the transition from animated classics like The Incredibles and Finding Nemo to live-action with Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, nobody could have predicted just how incredible it would turn out. But when the dust – so much dust – settled, Bird essentially had his pick of projects to tackle next. There were a couple …
Deet————– deet——— deet—– deet–deet-deetdeetdeetdeetdeetdeetdeetdeet!!! No, I haven’t finally lost my marbles and begun speaking in dubstep.

After 25 years and diminishing laughter returns on various seasons, The Simpsons has pretty much tapped the TV well completely dry. But the show has managed to excel in other mediums, especially with its first movie. …
Continuing with our scary movie theme for October, let’s talk about the movies that utterly failed to scare you. Maybe they tried too hard, maybe the premise was just too ridiculous to follow, or maybe they were just a hot mess. For me, this was definitely House of Wax. Seriously, what the heck was going on with that? Besides for …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
