DVD Review: Fragile: A Ghost Story
I think labeling this as a horror film is really doing it a disservice. It’s more of a psychological drama, really [as I’m noticing tends to be the theme among Spanish horror films (the writer/director and most of the production staff are Spanish) – Korean and Japanese horror films are known for their hair-raising, blood-chilling ghost stories, and Spanish horror films tend to be more about the characters – about the people and the emotion and the story to be told by the characters, superimposed over some moments of terror]. And at that, it excels.

by Mary Anne Butler, Reporter/Photographer Silence. Complete and stunning silence. Until some ass in the front of the theater rustles around for his candy and makes a snide comment. I shush him. He stays quiet, mercifully. It’s very rare…

Dragon Con 2012 Post-Mortem: A Newbie’s Experience
And that’s really what the convention was about for me. Yes, my experience was wholly atypical, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Because, for me, Dragon Con was about the people. It was about sharing the experience, sharing the passion for a story and the love of a character (or twelve). In the course of four days, I made amazing friends, got to listen to talented people share their passions and experiences and insights into their jobs, and created memories I’ll treasure for years to come.

Blu-ray Review: 6 Souls
It might not have been quite what I signed up for, but it was still a pretty good ride by the time I’d reached the end. The plot doesn’t smash you upside the head with the paranormal the way other films in the genre sometimes do. In fact, the paranormal elements really don’t come into full play until almost three quarters of the way through the movie. I’d venture into saying that up until that point, Moore’s character doesn’t even believe them to be occurring (and not in the way some horror films fall prey to, with her disbelieving things that are right in front of her).
