Movie Review: VFW Is Entertaining As Hell

When you hear the names Stephen Lang, William Sadler, Fred Williamson, Martin Kove, David Patrick Kelly, and George Wendt you automatically think that you’re in for a good movie, so when I heard about Joe Begos’ horror flick VFW I was psyched. I eagerly waited for my chance to see it and last night I did. The film follows a group of veterans hanging out at their local VFW when a young woman, “Lizard (Sierra McCormick),” runs in with a bag of drugs stolen from a dealer. The veterans feel obligated to protect the girl and when the dealer’s people come for the drugs it’s an all-out fight for survival, but the group is not going out without a fight. As always Lang doesn’t disappoint. The man must have been a lumberjack in a previous life, he is 68 and swings an ax in like it was what he was meant to do. He is 100% a badass! He plays

Amazon Cancels Their Series “The Dark Towers”

For years Amazon has been teasing that a new series based in Stephen King’s The Dark Towers was coming. In fact, they were even announcing cast members this summer. Unfortunately, the series has now been canceled. Damn it. Deadline is reporting that the streaming service feels that series from showrunner and executive producer Glen Mazzara was “not on the level of other large scope elevated genre series,” like their upcoming “Lord of the Rings” series. The series would have followed King’s Novel closer than 2017’s film adaptation which bombed. It would have explored the origin story of Roland Deschain and his fight with the man in black. The cast was rumored to include Michael Rooker, Jerome Flynn, and Joana Ribeiro, among others.
