We all have our favorite horror classics that we watch every Halloween. While our favorite titles put us in the right spirit for the season, they also fail to be truly scary or surprising after they’ve been viewed for, roughly, the twentieth time. Horror classics are a wonderful and familiar pleasure, but it’s also important to […]

Zac Efron is so naturalistically seductive in his portrayal of Ted Bundy that it’s near-tragic that his performance is not featured in a better film. Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile attempts to depict the infamous serial killer through the eyes of his longtime girlfriend, Liz Kendall (portrayed with empathy and commitment by Lily Collins).

What he lent to each genre he worked within is insurmountable, as he pretty much left behind a classic in each one. His recent passing on July 5, […]

Nicholas Clement has been a busy man since our last conversation. He’s a freelance script consultant, daily Facebook film reviewer, and writer for Variety and other movie publications.

Celebrity memoirs can be highly entertaining reads but rarely make for great literature. They are often gossipy fluff pieces that glaze over their authors’ harsher truths to focus on the success and glamour their luck, work, and talent has brought them.
