by Locke Peterseim | September 2nd, 2010Filed under: Quizzes, Contests & Polls
As we all know, I’m terrible at guessing which Close-Up Poster Quizzes will be easy and which will be hard. And since technically I’m already on vacation and Erika is kindly filling in the winners’ names for me, I don’t how this one went over. Obviously it’s a hugely popular movie, but then I went [...]

Well, that’s just too darn bad, because Clash has now earned almost $500 million worldwide, and that means there’s absolutely no stopping a sequel. (For the record, [...]

DVD Reviews: Kung-Fu Classics from the Shaw Brothers
by Locke Peterseim | September 1st, 2010Filed under: DVD Reviews, Movies
