HBO Max – The Running Man – 2025 – Movie Review
When news broke that Edgar Wright was taking on Stephen King’s 1982 dystopian novel The Running Man, purists held their breath. We didn’t need another campy 80s arcade spectacle; we needed a sharp, kinetic, skin-crawling indictment of media saturation, corporate control, and public bloodlust. Dropping on streaming after its theatrical run, Wright’s vision hits with […]

The Evil Dead (1981): A Masterclass in DIY Dread
Main Characters: The Review: Long before Sam Raimi was directing Marvel blockbusters, he was in the woods of Tennessee with a 16mm camera and enough Karo syrup blood to drown a small town. The Evil Dead is a film that breathes with a raw, “ink-heavy” energy. As a designer, I am fascinated by the “Shaky […]
