June 22, 2009Peyton Westlake: Take the fucking elephant!
When Sam Raimi couldn't get a job directing the superhero movies he wanted to do, he made up his own, and god dammit, it worked. Of course he went on to make "SpiderGold" a decade later, but here he still makes this kick ass R-rated s...( read more) -
