Children of the Corn is one of those movies when you dig further into the story you realize just how absurd it is. The movie opens on a regular Sunday afternoon in the small agricultural town of Gatlin, Neb., which has experienced a bad harvest. We met one of the movie’s young protagonist and narrator,Continue reading “The Absurdity Of ‘Children Of The Corn’”

‘Gold’ Never Measures Up To Standards Of Greater Post-Apocalyptic Movies
Gold is one of those movies that an actor like Zac Efron would make. It’s a movie in which he wants to prove to the world that despite all the High School Musical movies and his role as a hunky lifeguard in Baywatch, he can act, damn it. Charlize Theron pretty much has been doingContinue reading “‘Gold’ Never Measures Up To Standards Of Greater Post-Apocalyptic Movies”
Nostaglia Aside, Hocus Pocus 2 Is Uneven Mixture Of Witches Brew
I wasn’t a big fan of the first Hocus Pocus. I’ve only seen it twice. Once, when it was on TV back in the 1990s and the other time was last year on Disney-Plus. I never got into the whole movie. Maybe it was because I was 15 when it came out and it onlyContinue reading “Nostaglia Aside, Hocus Pocus 2 Is Uneven Mixture Of Witches Brew”
‘Raven’s Hollow’ Takes Poe On Gothic Horror Trip
Supposedly, Sylvester Stallone has been trying for decades to make a movie about the life and times of Edgar Allen Poe. For many, the short life of the writer who is believed to have contributed as much to American literature as any other, has been one of mystery. Poe is believed to have created theContinue reading “‘Raven’s Hollow’ Takes Poe On Gothic Horror Trip”
‘Near Dark’ A Near Perfect Horror Classic
Near Dark is one of those movies you used to hear a lot about when they came out but missed in the theaters, only to discover it browsing the video rental places or cable TV and immediately, you intriqued by it. It’s a movie about vampires who don’t call themselves vampries. In fact, there’s noContinue reading “‘Near Dark’ A Near Perfect Horror Classic”
‘The Munsters’ Lacks Charm Of Original TV Show
When I first heard that Rob Zombie was going to make a feature movie based on The Munsters TV show from the mid-1960s, the question was what tone was he going to take. I mean it was pretty darn obvious his wife, Sherri Moon Zombie, was going to be in it. But was he goingContinue reading “‘The Munsters’ Lacks Charm Of Original TV Show”
‘Monster’ Exploits Dahmer’s Crimes For Entertainment
More than 30 years have passed since the news broke of Jeffrey Dahmer’s arrest in Milwaukee. It’s still one of the most strangest criminal cases in American history. The horror of what happened occurred when public opinion against gay men was slowly changing. Sadly as the HIV/AIDS crisis was still a cause for concern, DahmerContinue reading “‘Monster’ Exploits Dahmer’s Crimes For Entertainment”
‘Lost Highway’ Is A Neo-Noir Nightmarish Path
Lost Highway was David Lynch’s first movie since he rose to mainstream sucess in middle America with Twin Peaks and its less than stellar prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. It’s a movie about murder and debauchery in southern California and even more surprising is how much the cast is connected to some ofContinue reading “‘Lost Highway’ Is A Neo-Noir Nightmarish Path”
‘Blonde’ Is A David Lynchian Nightmare Of Marilyn Monroe’s Life
Blonde will polarize audiences. You’ll either like it or your won’t. The movie comes after a swarm of controversy over the NC-17 rating for sexual scenes and this is finally a time in which it’s an adequate rating for two scenes that I will discuss later. But it’s also a horrifying look at how weContinue reading “‘Blonde’ Is A David Lynchian Nightmare Of Marilyn Monroe’s Life”
‘Lou’ Will Lose Viewers In Drab Pace
I like Allison Janney. What’s not to like about her? She’s one of the most versatile actors we have working now. I don’t like Lou, her latest movie currently streaming on Netflix where she falls into the badassery cinema world that Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver helped pioneer but falls short of being as memorableContinue reading “‘Lou’ Will Lose Viewers In Drab Pace”
