Universal Dead turned out to be one of the highlights at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con International, where Paramount Pictures announced that it would be the first webseries to become a full-length major motion picture.

Video Game Review: Dead Rising 2

Story
Dead Rising 2 is all about zombie killing! Yay! You play as Chuck Greene, a guy who has been framed for a zombie outbreak, which is unfortunate since all he’s concerned with is finding enough Zombrex, a serum that keeps people from turning into zombies, to keep his daughter healthy. [...]

Piranha 3-D (2010) – Boobs vs. Boom

Action Flick Chick | August 31, 2010

Being a heterosexual female, the breast has limited appeal to me.

There is a very precise ratio of boobs/bombs that should [...]

Texas Frightmare Weekend Extends Film Festival April 28 – May 1 . . . Deep in the Heart!

Action Flick Chick | April 12, 2010

The movies that I watch must have one of two things in them: action or horror. Anything else is just a bonus, and add those two things together in one film and it’s gold. I will be attending Texas Frightmare Festival this year because, well, it has “fright” in the title and Survival of the [...]

Action Flick Chick | February 16, 2010

Manspeak! Whoo hooo, I love it! The Wolfman gave us another great example of the kind of manly conversations we saw in Pale Rider. Toward the beginning of the film, Lawrence’s (Benicio Del Toro) father (Anthony Hopkins) saves him from being captured and experimented on. After scaring off Lawrence’s would-be captors, dear old daddy looks [...]
