High Tech Meets High Art in UT's CAET Initiative

The technological explosion of the 21st century has profoundly effected our lives, inundating our senses with endless streams of information and mutating pop culture into bizarre forms at warp speed.

DVDanger: Estranged

When Guillermo del Toro made the grandiose Crimson Peak, he was quick to note that, for all the ghosts and murder, it was not a horror movie. Instead, he was trying to educate viewers on the finer notes of the Gothic Romance. He'll probably smile with recognition at the smaller but no less subversive Estranged.

DVDanger: Hellions

Freddy. Jason. Dracula. The Wolfman. Icons of horror, all.

ATX Television Festival Announces Panels

ATX Television Festival announced a round of panelists, mostly people who are not actually being announced, because they are surprises. I find the best kind of secrets are the kind you announce, or else how will people know you have a secret?
