Top 10 Movies of 2013 10.The Battery – Took me a couple viewings to really like it. It’s slow. It drags in parts. The characters aren’t overly likable. But it feels like a realistic depiction of the impending zombie apocalypse. It’s a different look at the genre, so it’s something even Renfield may be able to appreciate. […]

To remedy my lack of spirit I spent some quality time with Black Christmas recently. I’m speaking of the original 1974 film and not […]
