Chloe Moretz in Emily The Strange
I worry about Chloe Moretz. Don’t get me wrong, the pretty and capable preteen is having a great career. She has over 25 roles to her credit already. It’s the type of roles that give me mild concern. Moretz first hit my radar screen when she stepped into the cape of Hit Girl in comic [...]

Steve Niles and Criminal Macabre scooped by Universal
I’m sure he doesn’t remember, but Damon told me he met Steve Niles at a NY Con and that he was mad cool (it goes without saying he does great work) while BSC was chatting with the awesome people at Simon & Schuster.
