Widgett Walls

Agrees with the Tomatometer 75% of the time.

Biography:: Widgett Walls is the chief cook, bottle washer, and founder of Needcoffee.com, the Internet's equivalent of a triple espresso with whipped cream. Founded in 1997 as an entertainment arm of the floundering century-old Sleep Deprivation Institute, Widgett was charged with bringing insomnia and caffeine to the world at large. As part of this campaign, he began with a Lab involving the DreamCasting of movies. Eventually this grew into reviewing films, DVDs, literature, and anything else that Widge and his desperate staff of misanthropes can do to garner attention for themselves. Widgett also served as senior writer for Corona's Coming Attractions from 1997 to September, 2001. He writes fiction, poetry, and essays under a pseudonym. His most recent publications are 'Love Letters Unsent to People Unmet', which is available in book and audiobook form from One Tusk Productions. Also, his first novel, 'Mystics on the Road to Vanishing Point,' is available from One Tusk as well.

0.5/5	62%	Evil Dead (2013)	" If you watched the first film's vine attack and went, 'You know what this needs? This needs to be more like hentai.' If you thought that, then this film is for you." — Needcoffee.com Posted Apr 7, 2013
