At least that is what he has his friends believing. In reality, Charlie is nothing more than a coward; one who refuses to be restricted by the bounds of morality,...

A well known music video and commercial director who has worked with Eminem, Britney Spears, and U2, and a well known comedian seemed like two key elements of a potentially successful film. Not so much. The longest 88 minutes of my life centered on high school teens from Grizzly Lake who were being victimized by a horror movie killer. The teens,...
