“Why is it that whenever you clean up a mess, you’re the one who gets dirty?’ PCN Rating: Tonight, Supernatural decided to level with us, just a little bit. ‘You Can’t Handle the Truth’ is by no means a classic episode, nor is it startlingly original or new. What it does do, is provide a catalyst [...]
Running time: 1 hour 27 minutes Rating:. R for sequences of grisly bloody violence and torture, and language. Cast: Costas Mandylor, Sean Patrick Flannery, Betsy Russell, Cary Elwes, Tobin Bell Directed by: Kevin Greutert PCN Rating: The latest–and hopefully last–of the Saw films hits theaters tonight, just in time for the Halloween weekend. And, it’s [...]
Sigh. It’s been a long time since Tron ’82. After walking out of the AMC theater tonight, in the wake ofTron Night and the 23 minutes of screened 3D footage, that stretch of time since the original feels like an endless gulf. I’ve seen the future of Tron, and it looks, feels, and moves a heck [...]
PCN Rating: “He’s watching her sleep. How is that not rapey?” I’ve been looking forward to this one for awhile, not least of all because it promised to give Twilight and the vamp phenom a well-deserved thrashing. As with all things Supernatural, what I got wasn’t exactly what I expected, but neither was it [...]

PCN Rating: All questions of whether season 6 should have happened can be put to rest. If we don’t get any other episodes as good as this one, its existence has still be justified. ‘Weekend at Bobby’s’, the impressive directorial debut of Jensen Ackles, isn’t just a great ep, it’s also an integral one; giving [...]

John Frankenheimer’s Prophecy is a strange beast, pun fully intended. A schlocky update of the mutant animal flicks of the 50s and 60s, the film wasn’t a hit upon its release and it hasn’t really fared much better since then; it possesses a Rotten Tomatoes score of 25%. But while Prophecy might not win awards for [...]
“Never stray from the path, never eat a windfall apple, and never trust a man whose eyebrows meet.” The Company of Wolves is either a child’s nightmarish fever dream, or a lurid fairy tale about the dark, shiny promise of adulthood. I’ve just finished watching the film for the first time in years, and I’m [...]
