Details: Published: 14 February 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Does this mean that you WON'T be my valentine? With those words, one scorned nerd has his revenge on a group of pretty little liars. Valentine, directed by Jamie Blanks, is immediately better than most of the teen slasher flicks of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. It just doesn’t ...

Hunter (2019) - Movie Review

Details: Published: 11 February 2019; Written by Loron Hays

I am not a cage fighter. I know one, though, and have seen him in action; felt the pulse of the audience. We even shot a movie together. Damn nice guy, but he takes AND delivers quite the beating with his mixed martial arts. My job, as a writer and observer, is decidedly different ...
