The winners of thenbsp;67th Annual Golden Globe Awards where awarded tonight at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. All the stars showed up dressed in their expensive attire in anticipation to see who would win what award. I"ve gotta say I was surprised by many of the winners, for others I wasn"t surprised at all.nbsp;


I watched a bit of the red carpet and caught Tobey Maguire telling the interviewer that he thinks he knows who is going to direct the Spider-Man reboot and said the choice was ldquo;an exciting ideardquo;. Unfortunately there was no follow-up question so we are left to wonder.


Ricky Gervais did a fine job hosting the awards, and he was entertaining to watch. The best speech of the night came from Robert Downey Jr., and my favorite part is when Martin Scorsese was awarded the Cecil B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award.


Here are the Golden Globe nominees with the winner in bold.


BEST DRAMA


Avatar


I seriously thought The Hurt Locker would take this one, so I was pretty surprised when Avatar took home the top prize. I"m happy it won it though.


The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Precious
Up in the Air


DIRECTOR


Katheryn Bigelow -nbsp;The Hurt Locker


James Cameron -nbsp;Avatar


I figured Cameron would take home the Best Director Award, the guy pulled off an incredible feat with Avatar.


Clint Eastwood -nbsp;Invictus
Jason Reitman -nbsp;Up in the Air
Quentin Tarantino -nbsp;Inglourious Basterds


ACTOR (DRAMA)


Jeff Bridges -nbsp;Crazy Heart


I haven"t seen Crazy heart so I don"t really know how good Bridges was in it. I expected Clooney to win this one, but wanted to see Maguire take home the award because he was amazing in Brothers.


George Clooney -nbsp;Up in the Air
Colin Firth -nbsp;A Single Man
Morgan Freeman -nbsp;Invictus
Tobey Maguire -nbsp;Brothers


ACTRESS (DRAMA)


Emily Blunt -nbsp;The Young Victoria


Sandra Bullock -nbsp;The Blind Side


I thought for sure Sibide of Precious would have won this award. Sandra Bullock gave the best performance of her career in the Blind Side, but I thought Sibide was the best actress.


Helen Mirren -nbsp;The Last Station
Carey Mulligan -nbsp;An Education
Gabourey Sibide -nbsp;Precious


BEST MUSICAL OR COMEDY


(500) Days of Summer


The Hangover


I would have loved to see (500) Days of Summer take home the award for this, but there is no denying the comedic genius of The Hangover.


It"s Complicated
Julie amp; Julia
Nine


ACTOR (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)


Matt Damon -nbsp;The Informant
Daniel Day Lewis -nbsp;Nine


Robert Downey, Jr. -nbsp;Sherlock Holmes


I was really surprised that Downey Jr. won this award. He was fun to watch in Sherlock Holmes, but both Matt Damon and Michael Stuhlbarg gave better performances in their roles. The people just love Downey Jr.


Joseph Gordon Levitt -nbsp;500 Days of Summer
Michael Stuhlbarg -nbsp;A Serious Man


ACTRESS (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)


Sandra Bullock -nbsp;The Proposal
Marion Cotillard -nbsp;Nine
Julia Roberts -nbsp;Duplicity
Meryl Streep -nbsp;It"s Complicated


Meryl Streep -nbsp;Julie amp; Julia


I think it"s ridiculous that Streep was nominated for two roles in this award category. Just pick one and give someone else a chance! Then I loved how she acted surprised when she won. Come on! She new she was going to win!


FOREIGN-LANGUAGE FILM


A Prophet
Baarigrave;a
Broken Embraces
The Maid


The White Ribbon


ANIMATED FILM


Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Coraline
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Princess and the Frog


Up


It"s no surprise that UP won, but I was rooting for The Fantastic Mr. Fox.


SUPPORTING ACTOR


Matt Damon -nbsp;Invictus
Woody Harrelson -nbsp;The Messenger
Christopher Plummer -nbsp;The Last Station
Stanley Tucci -nbsp;The Lovely Bones


Christoph Waltz -nbsp;Inglourious Basterds


Hell yeah, he won!


SUPPORTING ACTRESS


Penelope Cruz -nbsp;Nine
Vera Farmiga -nbsp;Up in the Air
Anne Kendrick -nbsp;Up in the Air


Mo"Nique -nbsp;Precious


The award is definitely deserved, she was great in that film.


Julianne Moore -nbsp;A Single Man


SCREENPLAY


District 9
The Hurt Locker
It"s Complicated


Up in the Air


I"m glad this movie one this. The movie was written incredibly well.


Inglourious Basterds


ORIGINAL SCORE


Michael Giacchino -nbsp;Up


All I can say is thank goodness it wasn"t Avatar. That original score was one or two notes away from being the exact same score as Titanic.


Marvin Hamlisch -nbsp;The Informant
James Horner -nbsp;Avatar
Abel Krozeniowski -nbsp;A Single Man
Karen O. and Carter Burwell -nbsp;Where the Wild Things Are


ORIGINAL SONG


"Cinema Italiano" -nbsp;Nine
"I Want to Come Home" -nbsp;Everybody"s Fine
"I Will See You" -nbsp;Avatar


"The Weary Kind" -nbsp;Crazy Heart


Like I said I haven"t seen Crazy Heart or heard this song, but I"m sure it was better than Avatars original song.nbsp;


"Winter" -nbsp;Brothers

nbsp;Continuing on what i call "The Road To 2001 Maniacs 2" i"m slowly catching up with what i consider is the best looking cast a horror movie has ever graced, did i say EVER! This time my victim is the beautiful, funny and super friendly Katy Johnson.She is not only in the upcoming Tim Sullivan helmed 2001 Maniacs: Field Of Screams but she also models and has graced the covers of Maxim and many other magazines,she has done work with Bench Warmer (which is now my favorite kind of trading card), she has done work with Toys For Tots and has many, many other projects going on. She is a very down to earth girl who helps people in her spare time, she also helps with suicide prevention. So sit back, enjoy and read on as i pick her brain, get nerdy with her and we get into the mind of the very cool, funny and beautiful Katy Johnson.



Brian S-nbsp;Hi Katy we meet again! Just kidding, i don"t know you from squat! Katy how"d you get introduced into the world of acting and how long have you been doing this


KJ-nbsp;Hello Brian,nbsp;


So I originally came to LA for modeling, I was fresh outta the cornfields and landed an agency and was shooting for the cover ofnbsp;Maximnbsp;in the Czech Republic before I even signed my lease in LA, came here, did a lot of modeling and one day randomly got a call to be an extra onnbsp;Transformers 2, this was not really my cup of tea as I didn"t care to act but I agreed, I went on set, was terrified ofnbsp;Michael Baynbsp;and he ended up liking my look and brought me back 3 more days for still an extra but a featured part with a higher rate. I also did stand in fornbsp;Isabelle Lucasnbsp;on that film and after that I said, "Why don"t I give this a shot It can"t hurt" and here I am. That was the Summer of 2008.




nbsp;



Briannbsp; S-You"re currently filmingnbsp;"The Land of the Astronauts", what can you tell our readers about this film



KJ-nbsp;It is a psychological thriller about a man who goes from success to being a successful screenplay writer to a limo driver for actors. He has severe chemical dependancy among other mental things wrong with him. I don"t want to give too much away yet. I must saynbsp;David Arquettenbsp;was a great pick for the role, he really did an amazing job with the charactor. The producer of the film too is one of my favorite men, my boyfriendnbsp;Jordan Yale Levine, he"s 25 and has executive produced and produced about 9 films! He"s great and did a great job with this movie.



Briannbsp; S- You play Roxanne in the film, what can you tell us about her



KJ-nbsp;Roxanne is an emo gothic band member, I wasn"t a lead, It"s definetley not a large role but the scenes were very fun and interesting!nbsp;





nbsp;



Briannbsp; S-nbsp;You do a lot of modeling too Katy, what"s the latest modeling gig you"ve done and when and where can we pick this up



KJ-nbsp;I did the cover ofnbsp;GGWnbsp;magazine in June, It"s already out. It"s not like the Girls Gone wild dvd, so don"t think that. Ha! It"s all clothed and is more pg than maxim. The idea was natural girls taking pics that, say theyre boyfriends would take if they picked up the camera one morning. I have veered away from the sexy Maxim, Playboy stuff to more fashion and editorial, I just shot the LookBooks fornbsp;Dress To Kill Clothesnbsp;andnbsp;Hannah Jo Clothing. Those were fun and more my style!!





nbsp;



Briannbsp; S-nbsp;Ok, totally off the subject here! You was going to be a Police Officer! I must say I"ve been arrested a time or three in my life(not proud of that Mom and Dad) and none of my arresting officers looked like you! What got you into that and steered you away from it



KJ-nbsp;I wanted to be a police officer because I truly love helping people and I am not your typical caddy, stuck up, girl. I don"t judge people, I think everyone has potential to be great and I just wanted to help people better themselves and their community and wanted to be a hero in someone"s life. I wanted to keep people safe and just give back to the community. I was blessed growing up in a small and safe town where we didn"t have to lock out doors at night so I think sense of security is important. I also am kind of a control freak so to me having control to do whatever I wanted was a nice idea. I hate rules. I think as long as your not hurting anyone, who cares! Anyway, after 2 yrs at college I was very interested in the field and the classes, my favorite was Theories of Interrogation, It teaches you how to tell if people are lying and how to get a confession, I"ve definetly used this on some shady guys! I had to let it go though because I was modeling a lot and traveling and missing class, I ended up losing my acheademic scholarship so I thought well I think I"ll move to Hollywood where I don"t need a degree and handcuffs. I"ll just make money smiling and looking pretty.nbsp;




nbsp;




Briannbsp; S- Ok, you have a role in (my hero)nbsp;Tim Sullivan"snbsp;2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams,nbsp; how"d you fall into this cool horror gig and who do you play



KJ-nbsp;I met Tim through a mutual friend, who was supposed to be in the movie as well. I met Tim going for the role of Bristol Bush, a smaller role and Tim ended up loving me at our meeting and about an hour after the meeting he called me and said "Katy, Look I know I met with you for Bristols" role but I really think you"d be good for the female lead Rome. You are just her to a tee as far as the looks of the character so I was so excited and honored to do that, so I played Rome Sheraton, a Paris Hilton spoof, I also have a sister named Tina played bynbsp;Asa Hope. It was such a fun role and we just had a blast in all of our scenes! We all connected really well, as far as me, my sister, and the 2 boys who played our loser boyfriendsnbsp;Jordan Yale Levinenbsp;andnbsp;Trevor Wright. Jordan Yale and I actually got into our roles so well we are actually a real life couple now living together in Sherman Oaks in a beautiful new townhouse. He"s typically a producer but he kind of acted in that movie ...

I honestly have never heard of this guy before in my life. Lionsgate and Nu Image/Millenniumnbsp;Films have decided to cast Jason Momoa as Conan the Barbarian in their new reboot/remake, tentatively titled simply Conan. Platinum Dunes go-to director Marcus Nispel, helmer of such movies as Pathfinder and the Friday the 13th remake, is directing this film, which is set for a 2011 release.


Latino Review brings the news, and they confirm Venkman"s report that Momoa was chosen from a list of three considered actors; Jared Padalecki (TV"s "Supernatural") and Kellan Lutz (Twilight) were the other contenders. If Momoa"s name isn"t familiar to you, rest assured you"re not alone. He"s only appeared in two feature films, the biggest of which was 2004"s Johnson Family Vacation, and it seems most of his work was split between TV"s "Baywatch: Hawaii" and "Stargate: Atlantis." According to all reports, he wow"ed the execs at a recent meeting and has been director Nispel"s first choice all along.


Even though I"m not a big fan of the character, series, or previous films (hmm...guess there"s only one Conan for me), I have to admit that the Hawaiian-born Momoa certainly looks the part. I won"t speculate as to his acting ability, but if anyone has seen him in anything before, sound off in the comments and let us know how you think he"ll fare as the sword-wielding barbarian.


Buried in LR"s coverage is one more tidbit: Mickey Rourke is rumored to play Conan"s father in the film. They also mention if Rourke falls through, word has it that Avatar"s Stephen Lang might take the role. We"ll keep you up to date on future casting news as it arises.

From the Associated Press


It has been all over the Internet that Conanrsquo;s last show will be tonight. After days of negotiations with NBC, the network has decided to reinstate Leno as the host ofnbsp;The Tonight Shownbsp;at the beginning of March.


The associate press reports that within the settlement, Conan will be getting more then $33 million for leaving, while his staff will get $12 million to divide between themselves. Most of his staff uprooted their families from New York to continue working on the show.


Gavin Polone, Conanrsquo;s Manager, said, "In the end, Conan was appreciative of the steps NBC made to take care of his staff and crew, and decided to supplement the severance they were getting out of his own pocket." He also added that, ldquo;He (Conan Orsquo;Brien) just wants to get back on the air as quickly as possible."


That may be sooner than many people believe as NBC told the AP that his agreement allows him to go to another network starting September of 2010. Many fans have hopes that Fox will jump on this opportunity. But while executives from that network have expressed interest in talking to Orsquo;Brien, nothing has been publicly stated about any future plans.


Itrsquo;s believed among media analysts that Conan leaving NBC will make it difficult for Leno to regain his number one position in the Late night ratings right away because he has been painted to be the villain in this whole operatic like story.


However, with time, the torrent of animosity that has flooded the general airwaves and online media against Jay Leno will recede, and it will be back to business as usual. People will find solace in the mundane and safe approach Leno has been using for years only to remember a faint hint of what happened in the past to our beloved Coco.


Bob Dylan once said,



"A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do."



This is why on a somewhat personal note I hope to see Conan on Fox this fall. I hope he rises above Leno. I hope these things because Conan deserves success.

TRON LEGACY Director Joseph Kosinski Talks about the Film, 3D and Daft Punk


Joseph Kosinski is the man directing one of the most highly anticipated films of 2010, Tron Legacy. There isn"t one person that I have met that isn"t crazy excited for this movie to come out. The test footage that was shot seemed to blow everyone away. Then this last year at Comic con we were treated to some behind the scenes stunt work that also blew the brains out of our geek minds. Now the director has stepped out of the dark editing room for a bit to talk about the next Tron film and everything involved. There"s no doubt he"s hoping that he will deliver us a film unlike anything we"ve seen before, and I think after working on the film Three and a half years of working on the movie, he has a very good chance of doing just that.


You"ve heard that the film will be in 3D but the whole movie will not be in 3D. Kosinski explains,



Our approach is not like "Avatar," which I think is 3-D from the first shot to the last. Ours is sort of a "Wizard of Oz" approach. Ninety-eight percent of the 3-D is in the world of "Tron." The 3-D really starts once we get into the Tron world.



He goes on to explain that the technology they are using to create this world of Tron will be a mix of what James Cameron used in Avatar, and What Robert Zemekis has been doing with motion capture.



It"s a combination of technologies that Zemeckis has been using in terms of the completely digital motion-capture of a character and for the live-action camera system. We used a camera developed by James Cameron"s company. We used a newer generation of camera than the one used on "Avatar." They built it specifically for us.



Now one of the questions I"ve had on my mind was will the final product of this film look like what we"ve seen from the test footage that was used to get the geeks to help push this film into production In the answer to this question Kosinski reveals where that scene takes place in the Tron universe.



I would say it"s not far removed. The teaser, at least tonally, represented the direction I wanted to take it. That sequence actually doesn"t appear in our film at all. It represents a period of time before our film begins. We were able to refine the design of the light cycles, the characters, the world and kind of flesh it out to a much higher level of detail than we were able to do for the test. What we"re going to see in the film will feel a lot more photorealistic. They did that test with eight or 10 people in a matter of months. We have thousands of people working on the film. It"s a whole different scale.



We also knew that Jeff Bridges was going to play two characters in the film... a old version of Kevin Flynn and a young version. He expands on this aspect of the film bit, and it"s pretty cool.



Jeff is playing two characters. He"s playing Kevin Flynn, the character from the original film, and he"s playing Clu, the avatar that Kevin Flynn created in the 1980s. I"d say he"s Clu 2. There was a Clu in the first film who looked like Jeff but was very simple in terms of his abilities. He"s very stiff. Clu 2 is a second incarnation of Kevin"s avatar. He doesn"t only look like Jeff, but he can think like him too. So it"s a whole new level of artificial intelligence.



I"ve been hoping that this film gets a IMAX release for this movie, and although nothing was shot in IMAX we are still going to get to see a IMAX conversion.



We did not shoot anything with an IMAX camera, because it uses film, and since we were shooting in 3-D, we used two digital cameras. That being said, we are doing an IMAX version. What I am considering doing now is finishing four or five sections of the film in a tall format mdash; not letterbox mdash; and in an IMAX theater, the black bars at the top and bottom of the frame will disappear and it will become a full-screen sequence, which should be really cool. I think IMAX will be the way to see this movie.



Thats exactly what was done for Christopher Nolan"snbsp;The Dark Knight.nbsp;


The original Tron film as a huge fan base and in this next statement, he talks about what was done to satisfy this core audience. Personally from what I"ve seen they"ve done a great job, but he reveals that Bruce Boxleitner isn"t just going to have a small role in the film, he"s a major part of the story!



The focus was always to serve the story we are telling. To include Bruce Boxleitner is not at all a cameo or stunt casting. He is integral to the story we"re trying to tell, which is why he"s in it. We"ve taken the events of the first movie as historical facts. In our story, Kevin Flynn emerged from his first experience as CEO of ENCOM and actually released the Tron video game based on his experiences in the first movie. ENCOM has become the most innovative, most successful, most forward-thinking digital company in the world as of 1989. There are fun references to parts of the first film. Sam Flynn [Garrett Hedlund], in searching for his father, has to retrace his steps and comes upon clues and places that we visited in the first film, like Flynn"s Arcade. Even in the world of Tron itself, a lot of vehicles and sequences have evolved. We"ll get to see how the disc game has changed, how the light cycle battle has changed. We get to see the new version of these iconic sequences. Things have gotten bigger and a bit out of control.



If that little bit of information didn"t get your geek blood boiling I don"t know what will! They showed some stunt footage of how the disc game has changed at comic-con, and it"s going to blow your mind!


Kosinsky then goes on to talk about why he chose Daft Punk to create the soundtrack.



I"m a huge electronic-music fan. This is a film where there was a lot of interest from different electronic bands that I follow to work on the film. I felt it was important, just as the first film was so forward-thinking visually and Wendy Carlos" music was so innovative, I felt we had to do the same thing here. So rather than going with a traditional film composer, I wanted to try something fresh and different. I set up a meeting with Daft Punk. We met for pancakes at the 101 Coffee Shop in L.A. one morning. These guys take "Tron" very seriously. Obviously, "Tron" was a huge influence on them. It was almost like they were interviewing me to make sure that I was going to hold up to the "Tron" legacy. But the more we talked, we realized that creatively, we were totally synced up. I"ve been working on it with them for over a year and a half. I don"t know of a movie where you"re working on the soundtrack months before you start filming. The level of integration between the music and the film is incredibly strong.



This was such a great interview! One that revealed a good amount of information that we haven"t heard about Tron Legacynbsp;yet. I seriously can"t wait to see this movie when it comes out in December. I"m sure it will end up being a pretty big franchise for Disney, and this wont be the last Tron film that we see.nbsp;


What do you think about what the director of the film talked about in this interview Do you like what you heard

I"m actually looking forward to seeing whatnbsp;M. Night Shyamalan"snbsp;The Last Airbendernbsp;movie will be like. This is very different from anything he"s done before and I hope he can reinvent himself with this movie. I really liked what I saw in the first teaser trailer that was released and it looks like we are going to get to see more soon. Director Frank Marshall actuallynbsp;tweetednbsp;a couple bits of info regarding the new trailer saying,



The AIRBENDER trailer will be about 2 minutes longhellip;

The AIRBENDER trailer will feature all the main charactershellip;



Yahoo has released two new character posters for the film, one showcasing the fire nation andnbsp;Dev Patel"snbsp;as the villain prince Zuko, the other is of nbsp;Noah Ringernbsp;as the hero Aang.

Four Lions is one of the funniest films that I"ve seen up at Sundance this year. I absolutely loved this movie. It"s is a comedy about terrorist extremists, a subject I"m sure will cause controversy among some people. Fact of the matter is the movie is a brilliant comedy, that I hope people give it a chance. You can read my full review for the film Right Here.


A new film clip for the film was released recently, which will gives you all a better idea of what the comedy of this film is actually going to be like. I love the scene they chose to show you all, it"s great. In this clip, we see how not to buy a dozen bottles of bomb-making bleach.nbsp;


Hope you enjoy the clip, and let us know what ya think!

Here we have a new picture of Tony Stark racing in his formula 1 car in Marvel"s upcoming, highly anticipated film, Iron Man 2, which is set to open up in conventional theaters and IMAX on May 7.


The film, as you know, was directed by Jon Favreau, the anticipated sequel stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Favreau, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Garry Shandling, John Slattery, Kate Mara, Clark Gregg and Olivia Munn.


Hope you enjoy the pic, I guess we could all wish is was a much cooler pick, preferably of Black Widow, because I still feel we haven"t seen enough of her yet. It"s like there trying to hide something.

Slamdance 2010 Review: YELLOWBRICKROAD - A Great Little Horror Film Gem


Directed By:nbsp;Jesse Holland and Andy Mitton


Starring:nbsp;Cassidy Freeman(Smallville), Clark Freeman, Anessa Ramsey (The Signal), Lee Wilkof, Laura Heisler and Alex Draper.nbsp;


Synopsis:


One Morning in New England, 1940, the entire population of Friar New Hampshire - 572 people - walked together up a winding mountain trail and into the wilderness. They left behind their clothes, their money, all of their essentials. Even their dogs were abandoned, tied to posts and left to starve. No One knows why. A search party dispatched by the U.S. Army eventually discovered the remains of nearly 300 of Friar"s evacuees. Many had frozen to death. Others were cruelly and mysteriously slaughtered. The bodies of the remaining citizens are still unaccounted for. Over the years, a quiet cover-up operation managed to weave the story of Friar into the stuff of legends and backwoods fairy tales. The town has slowly repopulated, but the vast wilderness is mostly untracked, with the northern-most stretches off limits to local hunters and loggers. In 2008, the coordinates for the YELLOWBRICKROAD trail head were declassified. The first official expedition into a dark and twisted wilderness will attempt to solve the mystery of the lost citizens of Friar...and reach the end of the trail.


Review:


Sounds like an interestingly great premise for a film doesnrsquo;t it! Well, it is. And for a low budget indie horror film, itrsquo;s executed exceptionally well. It was this story line and the trailer for the film that hooked me in wanting to see this movie, and Irsquo;m so glad I took the time while I was in Park City to go and check out this fantastic little horror gem, because I really freakinrsquo; enjoyed watching this film!


The film grabbed from the very beginning and didnrsquo;t let go until it was over. Here we have eight people who are out searching for the truth of of what happened to all of these town folk all those years ago. As they walk the YellowBrickRoad we witness their decent into madness. One of the very cool aspects of the film is they come to a point in the road where they begin to hear this old 1930rsquo;s music that is just playing in air. This music does something to them, screws with their heads, disorienting their minds. Irsquo;ve gotta say this sound that is portrayed in the film is very effective. Even the audience feels the full effect of this music and we get a very good sense of what these characters are going through and hearing. When the characters in the film are plugging their years trying to muffle the sound, so is the audience. I donrsquo;t know if people found that annoying or not, but I thought it was an effective tool of filmmaking and getting the audience involved.


The movie has a great 1970rsquo;s horror film feel to it. Therersquo;s no big special effects or anything like that, this movie relies on messing with the audience"s heads and making them think. The directors of the movie even said, the the great films of the 70rsquo;s were the inspiration for the film, movies likenbsp;The Shining, Carrie, The Exorcist, and Deliverance. There was most definitely a great Stephen King style vibe to it that I really liked.



The films directors, Jesse Holland and Andy Mitton, have a background in directing theater play. This is a great start for any director, especially in working with actors and one of the main strong points this film has, is the strong performances by all of the actors. Most of which came from the stage. The acting was fantastic, natural and believable across the board. There are a lot of horror movies out there that Irsquo;ve seen where the acting is so bad it kills the movie for me, even the big budget horror films being made these days. But here we have a very talented ensemble cast that did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life.nbsp;


Irsquo;m looking forward to watching this movie again. I just loved the fact that the film relied more on story and messing with the heads of the audience than it did on special effects and in your face cheap scares. YellowBrickRoad is a slow burn of suspense, and I hope you eventually get the chance to check it out soon!
