Three words: Disfigured Liam Neeson.
Neeson plays Peyton Westlake, a scientist working on an artificial skin to help burn victims. It’s got one problem: it can’t survive more than 99 minutes in direct light, but functions perfectly in the dark.

Okay, so I didn’t mean to make these past few days Hellraiser-tastic, but Tommy dared me to do this one! Unless it’s sticking my tongue to a frozen lightpole , I have been known to very rarely refuse a dare.
Hellraiser III starts out promising and then blows away all its promise in the second half [...]

Yes, if I win, I hear that one of these babies will be shipped to my house, where people can assume I won a trophy for genetically engineering a mutated sheep.

Summer is upon us, which means barbecues, skin-melting sunshine (if you live in my area of the woods) and blockbuster flicks.
