I’m not one to get hung up on silly plot devices—as long as there is a very good reason for them.

It’s only the second book from “Fight Club” author Chuck Palahniuk to be adapted into a movie, but beyond sharing a couple themes with the Brad Pitt-Edward Norton film, it has little in common with it. Eric Melin and guest co-host Trevan McGee (from inkkc.com) review “Choke,” starring Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston, and Kelly MacDonald […]

“Ghost Town” is the kind of movie that can sink or swim on its casting alone. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen this film before: A cranky loner has to step outside of his comfort zone and learn to connect with people again, due to some crazy supernatural coincidence! More specifically, as you […]
