Candi’s Corner – Ahhhhhh! Zombies!!! Surviving World War Z
Reviews by Candace C. Smith The last time I enjoyed a movie with Brad Pitt was when I empathized with his voracious appetite in 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven. Watching him eat in just about every scene was one of the many highlights of that movie for my viewing bliss. Since then, I haven’t paid much attention to Mr. Pitt’s acting or believe it or not, personal relationships disseminated throughout the daily circus of celebrity blogs and TV infotainment programs. With his latest movie, World War Z, I have finally, once again taken notice of not only his acting ability, but his physical dexterity. In both American and British terms, the man…

But Candace Smith’s submissions are a different story (See her latest review of Sinister and links to her other…

Candi’s Corner: Sinister (On DVD)
CANDI’S CORNER I came into the game late with SINISTER. Although a self-professed horror movie buff, I didn’t run off to the movies the weekend that Sinister premiered, much less at all. Chalk it up to being more than jaded at the latest slaughter and splatter movies of late. What happened to the psychology of the madman? I found myself looking for horror movies on YouTube, analyzing the emotional state of the debased leading ladies in Miss .45 and Thriller: A Cruel Picture. Time passed, and as if real life wasn’t scary enough, I was suddenly in the mood for Sinister, so I did the usual- YouTube and Rotten Tomatoes…
