The Last Exorcism Part II - Movie Review

The Last Exorcism Part II picks up right where the first one left off although without the use of the found footage film-making technique that was utilized for the original.

The Hunger Games - Movie Review

"The World Will be Watching" is a very appropriate slogan for a movie that goes in to its release date with a huge built in fan base that has devoured a story originally presented over three best selling novels.
