Mud
A Penny for Your Thought; A Nichols for Your Bliss Review written by Tom Bevis Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan I’m thinking right now that it’s a shame more people won’t go see Mud. Some people will see Matthew McConaughey on the poster and write it off right then and there.

Evil Dead
Remake Intrinsically Baffling; Raimi Owes Apology Review written by Robert Patrick Starring: Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez Basically every teenage boy has, at one point in time, been drawn to their television set as Bruce Campbell’s animated, wagging tongue emitted theatrical screams out of the worn speakers of their parents’ televisions. “You have to see this film!” hoards of eighteen year olds proclaim with a wry, all knowing smile....
