Random Movie: Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
Law Abiding Citizen is cool. I did not expect to enjoy it that much, but I rather did.

Random Movie: Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken (1991)
I grew up in a family with two sisters. As an unfortunate result, I, through no fault of my own, ended up watching a lot of movies as a child that had horses in them. These films ranged in quality from the somewhat respectable The Man from Snowy River to the absolutely hideous [...]

Random Movie: Popcorn (1991)
Although to be fair, if you’ve seen any horror movie at all, you’ll guess who the killer is within the first fifteen minutes of the movie.

Random Movie: Phantasm II (1988)
This installment is really not good at all, which is unfortunate. Coscarelli obviously loved making these movies and the first one was quite good.

Random Movie: American Splendor (2003)
I'll be the first to admit that I love movies with car chases, explosions, big rubber monsters, and boobies, but every now and again I need a change of pace.

Five Dollar Friday: The Thing from Another World (1951)
Posted on 05 March 2010
The general consensus among horror movie fans is that John Carpenter’s 1982 film The Thing is awesome, and those fans would be right. It has a claustrophobic atmosphere, a haunting Ennio Morricone score, and many other fantastic factors that much more verbose critics have mentioned over and over again. But, one has [...] Continue Reading

Truth in Advertising
Posted on 27 February 2010
False advertising is a big deal when it comes to businesses and consumer products. The laws on the books act to protect consumers against being misled about the product or service they are buying from inflated claims, inaccurate results, or overall deception. The United States even has the FTC, a government agency whose primary purpose [...] Continue Reading

The Nightmare Isn’t Over
Posted on 23 February 2010
Fresh on the heels of our upcoming remake/reboot/bootmagining episode comes a spate of news, photos, and information for the latest revisit to a horror franchise, A Nightmare on Elm Street. As I have previously said, I hold the entire Nightmare series very highly regarded, weak parts and all from my nostalgic recollection of them. My fear [...] Continue Reading

Cobain Biopic In Bloom

I mentioned in a previous article that I would like to see a movie based on the Seattle grunge scene or the life of Kurt Cobain. Well it seems like next year is the planned release of the yet untitled film of just that. Apparently this has been in the works for some time. Kurt’s widow [...] Continue Reading

Five Dollar Friday: Slither (2006)
Posted on 19 February 2010
My never-ending mission to find great movies for low low prices took me recently to the used DVDs of a local Movie Gallery. Sitting on the shelf was a copy of the monster movie Slither for under five dollars. Score! As far as plot goes, this movie is nothing special. An alien creature crashes in [...] Continue Reading

The shape shifting beast man has been a staple of horror fiction since, well, before horror fiction even existed. Legends of men transforming by the light of the full moon date back as far as the 13th century C.E. In anticipation for the new horror fur-fest coming out this weekend, I have decided [...] Continue Reading

Forged Documents: Top 9 Actors Too Old For High School
Posted on 13 February 2010
It’s no secret that Hollywood plays hard and fast with things like gravity, time, and logic. However, one of the more irritating glaring omissions from the fact-checking process is the age of actors cast to play high schoolers. While researching this article, I came to the sad realization that approximately 70% of people in high [...] Continue Reading

Faded Celebrity: Actors Who Should Be Unemployed
Posted on 11 February 2010
After PBF’s rant about Julia Roberts the other day, I began to think about actors that either were once great but have since floundered out or those that I did not initially care for. Sadly, most of these actors are still making movies and collecting large paychecks while I actively avoid anything they are in, [...] Continue Reading
