Back to basics. This film was shot entirely in black and white, reminiscient of the old days of film-making, before special effects or computer graphics. Risky, but it proved brilliant. The lack of digital enterntainment required the actors to step up to the plate, and they did so much …

I …

Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …

Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy.
