You Can't Kill Stephen King

You Can't Kill Stephen King
Starring Monroe Mann, Ronnie Khalil, Crystal Arnette, Kayle Blogna
Directed by Ronnie Khalil, Monroe Mann & Jorge Valdes-Iga

The Story:
Six friends decide to take a trip to Maine in order to find Stephen King's home, and maybe even meet the master of horror himself.  Instead, they get stalked and killed off one-by-one in ways reminiscent of Stephen King's novels.

The Synopsis:
Cheesy horror films are my favorite type of films, but not because of its award-winning content or brilliant acting.  I love watching them because they serve as a brain-numbing drug, something I can just sit back and watch with no anticipation of seeing anything fantastic.

Such as it is with "You Can't Kill Stephen King," which is one of the best-titled movies since "Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned."  Of course, Stephen King makes absolutely no appearance in this independent-driven film that's directed, written, and starring the same people.  It's a labor of love and you can tell they took it seriously, but it just wasn't that scary or funny.  It's an easily forgettable film that's thrown into the pile of other lame cheesy horror movies, a pile that's growing by the minute.

The Summary:
One can appreciate the labor of love made for this film, and the filmmaker's dedication to the project, but it just wasn't a memorable tale.

The Score: D+

Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE**  The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder."  When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go.  I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen.  Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President.  Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a

Major Theatrical Releases May 2016 May is the start of summer, which means warmer weather, no school, more sunshine, and of course, MAJOR BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES! The beginning of summer opens with some extremely strong outings which will shape the remaining months to come, and if these movies are any indication, it's going to be a great summer at the movies! That being said, here is the list of films being released nationally for the month of May, 2016. MAY 6 Captain America: Civil War Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie Directed by Anthony Russo & Joe Russo Synopsis (imdb.com): Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. Thoughts: Forget "Batman v. Superman," THIS is the match-up we've all been dying to see!  Based off the highly popular comic series, "Civil War" pits Earth's Mightiest Heroes against one anot

The Living Dead Starring Jessica Jane-Stanford, Paul Danan, Aurie 'Styla' Green, Hakan Hassan Directed by Fredi Nwaka What I appreciate the most about horror cinema is the fact that its the easiest genre for an up-and-coming director to direct, and provide a unique vision that's set apart from different genres - in horror, you can make anything if you set your mind to it.  Horror can also blend different genres within itself, producing horror/drama, horror/action, and even horror/comedy, which is the route taken by first-time director Fredi Nwaka's "The Living Dead" (also known in the U.K. as "Are We Dead Yet?") - it's not just a horror film, but also blends action and comedy and produces a worthwhile whole. Madison (Jessica Jane-Stanford), Barry (Aurie 'Styla' Green), Gavin (Paul Danan), Alan (Hakan Hassan) and Parksey (Bradley Turner) are a group of robbers who, after their getaway car breaks down, find themselves in front of a towering
