Tuesday, March 31, 2015. March 2015: A Month In Asia. If there's ever a director who dominated this month, it would be the Master of Japanese Cinema, Akira Kurosawa.

Thursday, October 30, 2014. Top 100 Horror Films. WHERE WE ARE NOW. I always find myself returning to the horror genre. It started with EC Comics. Then quickly evolved into a love for movies like Creepshow. Soon I was constantly reading Fangoria and learning how Savini, Baker and Botin did makeup. I ate it all up. When the genre is discussed?
