Remakes have their place in the world of film though, and help new people discover films they never knew existed. Then a movie comes along like Wrong Turn that makes the brave step of being different and being surprisingly good. A group of friends hiking on the Appalachian…

When Raw was first released it was one of those movies that caught people’s attention based on the fact people felt sickened from watching it, even walked out of the movie theatres instead of watching it to the end.

After the actual stand takes place, there really isn’t much more to the story to be told. This is why it’s surprising that The Stand chose to have another episode to fill in it’s “happy ever after” faze of the story. The question is, did we really need it? After the events in New Vegas Stu (James Marsden) and Frannie (Odessa Young) decide to take a road trip. With the worst of Captain Trips…

‘The Stand 1×07 – The Walk’ Review

It is fair to say that by now we know that The Stand hasn’t really delivered in terms of the characters, but there is still one way it could redeem itself, and that is to improve on the ending when compared to the 1994 mini-series. With promises of a new Stephen King written ending to the show can it actually deliver? In the aftermath of the Vigil Mother Abigail (Whoopi Goldberg) sends her…

Being a big fan of the Mick Garris mini-series I couldn’t help but go into this new version of The Stand ready to compare it with the 1994 version.
