ON STUDIO INTERFERENCE

April 9, 2010

I happen to read a mention on aintitcool.com about CHUD’s Devin Faraci doing a post op at his CHUD site.com on what went wrong creatively with Clash of the Titans.

BULLETFACE REVIEW: NINJA DIXON

March 12, 2010

Bulletface is odd movie, but that’s they way we want Albert Pyun to work. His filmmaker-personality is showing clearer.
