With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I'm amazed at how fast this release came out. I'm still waiting for a Left 4 Dead movie series to come out.
*comedian voice* "just a matter of time I suppose"
I honestly don't know how I feel about it. Like the gaming industry, movies are starting to be flooded with the zombie genre. Don't get me wrong I love all things zombie, but I worry we'll reach an over-saturation point. I mean, all of them are starting to look the same, and need to do something different to really stand out. Let's just hope they can do that with this movie.
Big surprise!! /s. But hey, it may turn out good, you never know.
Another zombie project. How original.
