UPDATE
I was lucky enough to catch an LA premiere of Midnight Meat Train (thanks very much for the hook-up Morbid) at the Nuart Theater.  Let me say that pulling up 15 minutes before the show the line was already around the side of the building and I had to park over 5 blocks from the [...]

With films there are surprises, and then there are surprises. With some films you get exactly what you think you’re going to get. In fact, after watching a trailer or two, one can usually gauge how much they’ll like a film pretty closely. Every once and a while, the gauging system fails and you either [...]

Remember the good old days of thrillers that took place on a train? It’s such a ripe setting to create suspense, as films like Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes and Sidney Lumet’s Murder on the Orient Express have proven.
