Casey Affleck comes off a strong year in film (he was particularly brilliant as an undercover Mexican) and steps right into another lead role. Ben’s kid bro is attached to star in an adaptation of the gangster-noir tale THE KIND...

Dead Air trailer

Posted 19 years ago

I love zombie flicks, and it’s not every day we get to discuss a movie starring Chop Top from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE II in “A Corbin Bernsen film.” And yet that’s DEAD AIR, an intriguing little low-budget job about a...
