I’ve often thought horror/thriller movies have the best poster art. At one time people used to use originality in all poster art. Look at The Exorcist, Jaws, Back to the Future, or Platoon to name a few. Now it’s just a collection of the big names who are in the cast with the position andContinue reading “‘What Keeps You Alive’ Has A Plot That Is Dead On Arrival”

‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ A Fitting Resolution Or Uneven Continuation?
In the movie Clueless, Alicia Silverstone’s character says, “Searching for a boy in high school is about as useless as finding meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.” David Lynch passed away in January at the age of 78. And it’s almost fitting his swan song was Twin Peaks: The Return. But sometimes it’s useless toContinue reading “‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ A Fitting Resolution Or Uneven Continuation?”
‘Twin Peaks’ Changed TV And Movies
It was 35 years ago when Twin Peaks premiered on TV on ABC and just eight years ago when fans finally got some resolution with Twin Peaks: The Return. I saw some resolution because David Lynch, who passed away earlier this year, never believed in anything finite. I’ve often debated the latter part of BlueContinue reading “‘Twin Peaks’ Changed TV And Movies”
George Wendt’s Dark Side In First ‘House’ & ‘Masters Of Horror’ Episode
On TV, George Wendt was just another character actor when he stepped into the role of Bostonian Norm Peterson, a portly 30-something with a laissez-faire attitude and sardonic wit on Cheers. His line, “It’s a dog-eat-dog world and I’m wearing Milkbone underwear” is one of the best lines ever written not just in TV butContinue reading “George Wendt’s Dark Side In First ‘House’ & ‘Masters Of Horror’ Episode”
Rest In Power, Morris! We’ll See You Later ‘Alligator’
By 1980, the whole Man vs. Animal genre that had become popular with the success of Jaws had gone stale. The giant rabbit movie Night of the Lepus had been released in 1972 and the 1976 adaptation of The Food of the Gods was already in production before Jaws was released. But movies like KingdomContinue reading “Rest In Power, Morris! We’ll See You Later ‘Alligator’”
A Mean Green Mother This Weekend With ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’
For our senior musical play, we did Little Shop of Horrors. And like the 1986 film adaptation, it suffered its own set of problems. Some of the seniors were upset because it only had a few woman roles but that was changed. It’s not like all the girls I went to school with were JulliardContinue reading “A Mean Green Mother This Weekend With ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’”
A QV For ‘Frankenhooker’
In April, Katy Perry went from just being an entertainer to being a punchline following her “flight” in that Blue Origin space penis. Rather than just move away from the spotlight and let things die off, she ended up going on tour looking like Frankenhooker meets the drunk girl at a bar/party that everyone wantsContinue reading “A QV For ‘Frankenhooker’”
‘Capricorn One’ A Thrill Ride For Conspiracy Theorists
Did we really go to the Moon? That has been the question since 1969 as skeptics believe that NASA used the same set that Stanley Kubrick used for 2001: A Space Odyssey. This was also enhanced by skeptics believing the Apollo 13 mission disaster was faked to keep public interest in the space program. AndContinue reading “‘Capricorn One’ A Thrill Ride For Conspiracy Theorists”
Be Warned As ‘Watership Down’ Isn’t About Cute Fluffy Bunnies
With it being Easter weekend, hopefully you’re not planning on getting cute fluffy bunnies for your kids. Rabbits take a lot of effort to take care of, just like other pets. And while the Easter Bunny a symbol for the holiday, it really doesn’t make a lot of sense especially when you consider neither rabbitsContinue reading “Be Warned As ‘Watership Down’ Isn’t About Cute Fluffy Bunnies”
‘The Island Of Dr. Moreau’ Is A Disaster Movie Of Epic Proportions
Earlier this month, Val Kilmer passed away from complications of pneumonia. He had battled throat cancer in the 2010s resulting in a tracheotomy resulting in the difficulty to speak. Kilmer was considered difficult to work with and one of his most complicated movie productions was The Island of Dr. Moreau, released in 1996. It wasContinue reading “‘The Island Of Dr. Moreau’ Is A Disaster Movie Of Epic Proportions”
