Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie' opens tomorrow, and we've already seen and reviewed it. Our Jordan Hoffman said that it has "craft dancing all over the screen (Mr. Rzykruski’s mouth!), but the scenario and the writing is all very safe."

So over the holidays I was able to read a really great book by Seth Grahame-Smith. It took one of my favorite book characters, the vampire, and mixed in a little history and a little suspense and lots of blood. The book is “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.” This book takes events in history and the [...]
