On Wednesday, Feb. 14, a 19-year-old gunman walked onto the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, armed with what police say was a military-style semi-automatic rifle and countless magazines — and killed at least 17 people. He was a troubled man who had shown repeated signs of being unstable and yet was able to legally obtain a semi-automatic rifle capaable of causing unimaginable carnage.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott called the attack “pure evil” and vowed to have a real conversation about sensible gun legislation, saying, “The violence has to stop. We cannot lose another child in this country to gun violence in a school.

Rage
2010 USA 85min
Writer and Director: Chris Witherspoon
Starring: Rick Crawford, Audrey Walker, Chris Witherspoon, Anna Lodej, and M.L. Maltz
Review by J Astro
Rage was handed to me for review with no cover art or explanation, just a plain white disc with red lettering in a clear plastic cover. Within roughly the first ten minutes of watching it, it occurred to that I had actually heard of this movie before, having noticed a few reviews of it on various other individual blogs and sites in the past few weeks. Rage has been getting some solid attention recently, and deservedly so, because it is a standout among indie horror efforts. It’s by no means flawless or my new favorite movie of the year or anything, but it sure beats the hell out of most other “home grown” horror-thriller exploits. And I was happy to go into it “blind...

While taking care of some personal business in town, namely ending an affair with a co-worker, troubled and struggling writer Dennis (Rick Crawford) comes to blows with a mysterious, silent and masked biker.
At first these blows are harmless encounters but as the day goes on and these two cross each other’s paths again on several different occasions, these frustrating encounters escalate into something far more sinister – and Dennis soon finds himself being relentlessly hunted throughout town. Who is this mysterious biker that speaks not a word in the film -nor reveals the face behind the mask? The Ex-boyfriend of the lady Dennis ended the affair with? Or is it a manifestation of Dennis’s rising guilt?
Rage is Writer/Director Christopher R. Witherspoon’s second feature and on top of writing and directing here, he skilfully and impressively acts as both Editor and cinematographer.

**spoiler alert.
Director/writer: Chris Witherspoon.
Cast: Audrey Walker, Rick Crawford and Chris Witherspoon.
Imagine Darth Vader as only the die-hard fans wanted him to be: a brutal killer and a force of nature. But none of that would matter if he did not have that seething rage that kept him going all through these years. Now imagine all that power hidden behind a simple black motorcycle helmet. That’s Chris Witherspoon’s movie, Rage, an effective chase thriller about two individuals, each with personal issues, at odds with one another.
This movie is all about the circumstances that lead to their confrontation. That also includes the problems in Dennis' (Rick Crawford) life. It’s an idyllic one spent with his loving wife, Crystal (Audrey Walker) in the suburbs of Portland. But when he has to go into the city to run some errands,...

Rage From director Chris Witherspoon comes "Rage". Rage is the story of a man who unknowingly provokes the wrath of a dark, mysterious, homicidal motorcyclist and must fight for his very life. Looking at the trailer (seen below, after the jump) Rage recalls such horror efforts as Nail Gun Massacre or director Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare Beach (aka Welcome to Spring Break). Elements associated with those films were some pretty cool death sequences and a sense of fun and excitement. Hopefully, Rage can live up to that. The teaser trailer shows that Rage has that potential so hopefully it lives up to that.
In Rage, Dennis Twist a suburban 30-something unintentionally provokes the wrath of a mysterious and homicidal motorcycle rider. The confrontation with “The Biker” escalates into a day long battle of cat and mouse concluding in an extremely violent rampage. Starring in Rage is Rick Crawford (Trunk) and...
