The Two Mrs. Carrolls now on DVD
The Two Mrs. Carrolls Sometimes the joy you get in watching an old, black and white movie is just in seeing the differences between cinema then and now. Not every film shot in black and white in the 1930s and…
Red Riding Hood Review
Red Riding Hood The new, updated version of Red Riding Hood manages to be an almost exact replica of the Twilight films without featuring one single vampire. The initial installment of the Twilight series was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, as…
