Review: OZ the Great and Powerful

Posted by on Jun 1, 2019 in Review

NOTE: This Review was originally published March 11, 2013 and has been rescued for re-publication. Going into this movie, I have to admit I had some doubts.  The trailers looked good, but I was worried for all of us: that the filmmakers would somehow besmirch the classic 1939 Wizard of Oz film that we all know and love.  To do anything other than revere the...

TV Review: Cult and The Following

Posted by on Mar 13, 2013 in Review

Horror At Your Fingertips: Being A Fan In The Facebook Age – By Ed Davis

Growing up in the late ’70s and early ’80s, if someone had told me “One day all the horror and sci-fi you can think of would be at your fingertips”, I would have laughed at them. Back then, we didn’t have the internet to supply us with our fixes. We had Famous Monsters of Filmland and Starlog, two great magazines to meet our needs....
