STEVE McQUEEN LIVES!

Aside from Clint Eastwood, some of my earliest memories of cinema feature the legendary Steve McQueen. Seeing him display such casual coolness in Sunday afternoon airings of movies like The Great Escape, Bullitt, Hell is for Heroes, The Towering Inferno and… Continue reading →

ON THE DARKSIDE

A high-concept action-horror flick that’s been kicking around for a while now has been scooped up by writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh, the guy who made the Punisher seem more interested in falsifying adultery than blowing the shit out of people. Hensleigh… Continue reading →
