The long anticipated Spike Jonze-Dave Eggers adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are arrives in theaters this weekend, and Sam Raimi's latest film Drag Me to Hell is newly out on DVD and Blu-Ray. I could be wrong, but I suspect the audiences for these two films overlap more than you might expect.

I became an instant fan of director Sam Raimi when I first saw his iconic feature-film debut Evil Dead on a double-bill with George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead at a local drive-in theater.

Videogames and movies get along like cats made of oil and dogs made of water. There have been a few good games based on films, but the best you can say about movies based on videogames is that they haven't actually killed anyone yet.

Sometimes, news comes so far out of left field that it's actually from a different ballpark.

Liam Neeson will always be Qui-Gon Jinn to millions of movie buffs. To others, he'll always be Darkman.
