I Was in a Cult Trailer: The Path – Season 2!
The second season of Hulu’s The Path finds Eddie (Aaron Paul) in a support group for former cult members – and that appears to be about the only reasonably normal thing about the trailer for season two of Hulu’s critically acclaimed series The Path.

Pixels – Hi-Tech 8-Bit Fun!

MOVIE REVIEW: Eagle Eye Combines Hi-Tech and SF to Create Effective Thriller!
Eagle Eye marks the fourth time Shia LeBeouf has worked on a Steven Spielberg production, and the second time that he’s worked with both Spielberg and director D.J.
