The Evil Dead franchise is a combination of cheap scares, incredible practical effects and Bruce Campbell’s physical comedy, which has achieved cult success in the years since its first release.
The final installment in the original series (for now), Army of Darkness, continues from The Evil Dead II with Ash (Campbell) trapped in a medieval world. Sam Raimi returns to direct and write this installment, which features a bigger budget and a much larger scale.
While the film established a much larger scope with castles, haunted forests and caves, much of the magic of the first two installments has disappeared.

In Roger Ebert’s review, originally published June 11, 1993, he awarded Jurassic Park three stars out of four. Ebert criticised the human characters, but praised the dinosaurs and the advancements made in special effects.
The film, which spawned two sequels, proved to be Steven Spielberg's last action blockbuster, as he later opted to produce more personal work such as Schindler's List. Jurassic Park captivated audiences and reignited their interest in dinosaurs.
In the 20 years since the film opened in theaters, it has remained in the hearts of all moviegoers. Now, it returns to theaters to celebrate its 20th anniversary, featuring upgraded sound and a 3D upgrade.
Normally, a spring soccer match would not garner a tremendous amount of attention, even in a soccer-crazed area like the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. corridor. But UMBC’s contest vs. Georgetown, a.k.a., “Kicks for Chase,” on the evening of Saturday, April 13, at Retriever Soccer Park should be an exception.
First off, the game pits a pair of great programs coming off magical 2012 fall campaigns. The Retrievers won their second America East title in three years, advanced past Old Dominion and played defending national champion North Carolina to a scoreless draw in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. (The Tar Heels advanced on penalty kicks.) The Hoyas stunned the collegiate soccer world by making it to the national title game, falling, 1-0 to Indiana.
But the real importance of the 7:00 p.m. match-up at RSP is the cause it supports. The teams are raising funds to benefit children born with Down Syndrome in the memory of Chase Bugarin.
In September of 2012, former UMBC soccer player Bryan Bugarin ’97, psychology, and his wife Amy welcomed a son, Chase Ryan Bugarin. Chase was born with Down Syndrome along with other serious complications. After an 11-week fight, Chase passed away and though he is no longer with us, his memory lives on. He is survived by parents Bryan and Amy along with siblings Jordyn (9) and Brayden (2).
Admission to “Kicks for Chase” game is free, but donations are being accepted for The Arc Foundation of Harford County (Northern Chesapeake Region). Patrons may donate the day of by cash or check. Checks can be made payable to The ARC Northern Chesapeake Region and donators can mark “Kicks for Chase” in the subject line.
