Not yet that I know of, but that’s not a terrible assumption considering that the guy has just signed on to star in 28 Weeks Later, the hacky sounding sequel to 28 Days Later, which … Continue reading

Pan’s Labyrinth makes us feel warm all over, that’s a fact. I believe Devin is seeing Guillermo del Toro’s flick this week and he’ll either be one of the initiated lovers of the movie or he’ll be the worst person in the world.
