      We hear you. It’s “Ash vs Evil Dead” premiere for (at least one of) us tonight! Good ol’ blood-soaked Bruce Campbell fun! Diverse cast too. AND LUCY LAWLESS.

    Gave up on Hollywood remakes a looooooooonnnngggg time ago! I saw ‘Oldboy’ as curiosity got the best of me, ‘The Ring’ remake was passable, but in general Hollywood seems to completely miss the point of these films IMO.
