Back in the early 2000’s, Dave Chappelle reigned supreme on Comedy Central with his sketch comedy show “Chappelle’s Show.” It was witty, hilarious, and incredibly smart.

by Henry Hill

“During the 1980s over 70% of American adults believed in the existence of abusive satanic cults… Another 30% rationalized the lack of evidence due to government cover ups…The following is based on true unexplained events…”

Sometimes a movie comes along that has been out for several years before you discover it, and immediately after watching it, you want to tell all your friends about how much you liked it. 2009’s Horror The House of the Devil is one of those films.

In these days, CGI, or computer generated imagery, is so common that we actually yearn and gravitate towards old school practical effects.   Spike Jonze adapted the famous children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” using people in giant costumes to portray his monsters instead of fully rendering them with computer graphics and the original “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, definitely not “The Hobbit” movies, used as little CGI as possible.   Every so often, a movie comes along that pushes the bar further for what CGI is really capable of achieving.  Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” is that very movie.  It is a visual masterpiece and a great retelling of the famous Disney cartoon.
