Apparently there’s a new genre of film burgeoning: animated horror movies. The business model actually makes sense, as the filmmakers only have to animate a compelling trailer and then find the proper funds to actualize the movie. Given the steadily decreasing costs of animation, and the steadily increasing costs of live productions, these films seem […]

How do you show off the power of a 563 hp, 6.3-liter V8 supercar with 479 lb-ft of torque? Well if you’re Mercedes Benz and you want to show off your new 2011 SLS AMG you hire Michael Schumacher to drive it through a tunnel…upside down. Why not? The Gullwing SLS AMG sprints from 0 […]
