28 Years Later: Video Review by Matthew Schuchman

©Courtesy of Columbia Pictures When it was released in 2002, 28 Days later was revolutionary. Though it is a movie about infected individuals and not zombies, it was instrumental in reviving a horror sub-genre. And while it was scary and horrifying, it was a beast all of its own; not your typical scary movie. And,…

KPop Demon Hunters Review : The Film Creates Dance Numbers, while Others Orchestrate Elaborate Martial Arts Fight Scenes

©Courtesy of Netflix  Some choreographers create dance numbers, while others orchestrate elaborate martial arts fight scenes. The K-Pop trio known as Huntrix have the chops for both. They were raised to battle demons, but their power comes from their music. Unfortunately, Huntrix might face a “live-by-the-sword-die-by-the-sword” situation when a demonic boy band tries to steal…

F1 : The Movie Review : The Film Garnered the Pole Position for the Oscar Nods
