Running Scared

June 1, 2006 // 0 Comments

Once in a great while a movie comes along that almost literally blows you away. Nothing could have prepared me for "Running Scared." Wayne Kramer's latest film is a hard-hitting, visceral, over-the-top extravaganza of blood and bullets that [...]

Firewall

For a Harrison Ford movie, "Firewall" was surprisingly low-key when it hit theaters. A few trailers here and there but not that much, and then the film also didn't exactly set the box office on fire either. I was curious to check out the [...]
