Note: This focus will be on horror/thrillers that have featured the LGBTQIA community and/or have themes as June is Pride Month. In Scream VI, they discuss that Psycho II is an underrated horror classic and I agree.

‘The Birdcage’ Spread The Wings Of LGBTQIA Humor To The Masses
When The Birdcage won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast, a good friend of mine and I weren’t too happy. We were both big Fargo fans and we wanted it to win, but it wasn’t even nominated in that category. We knew Fargo was going to get screwed over byContinue reading “‘The Birdcage’ Spread The Wings Of LGBTQIA Humor To The Masses”
Long Live The Queen Of Rock
I was saddened to hear about the passing of Tina Turner this last week. She was known for her electifying on-stage performance as well as a singing voice that no one could ever duplicate. But for many other people, she was known as Aunty Entity the ruthless leader of Bartertown in the barren wasteland ofContinue reading “Long Live The Queen Of Rock”
Three Cheers For ‘The Man With Two Brains’
The Mad Scientest Trope has been around since Mary Shelly penned Frankenstein. Robert Louis Stevenson also explored the trope with The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine and The Island of Dr. Moureau were classics about scientists testing the limits of how far they could go. Even CaptainContinue reading “Three Cheers For ‘The Man With Two Brains’”
‘BASEketball’ Fouled Out 25 Years Ago But Deserves A Mulligan
BASEketball should’ve been a hit. It starred Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who were behind the hit TV show South Park in its prime and directed by David Zucker who had The Naked Gun movies and Airplane! on his resume.

‘Temple Of Doom’ Takes Indiana Jones Down Into The Depths Of True Horror
The Indiana Jones franchise can best be described as a casserole of genres all thrown together. They’re all set decades in the past making them period pieces with mixes of historical drama. They include action-adventure with elements of comedy thrown in sprinkled with some romance. And there are hints of the supernatural, fantasy and horror.Continue reading “‘Temple Of Doom’ Takes Indiana Jones Down Into The Depths Of True Horror”
‘Dragged Across Concrete’ Is MAGA Porn
Before I begin this post, let me preface I like movies and stories where the main characters aren’t the most likable. But there has to be some dimension to characters. And while people might draw comparisons to Dirty Harry and To Live and Die in L.A., Dragged Across Concrete isn’t in the same league. IContinue reading “‘Dragged Across Concrete’ Is MAGA Porn”
‘Twilight’ Dims Too Dull Too Soon
When you think of Twilight, you think of vampires and werewolves and an young woman torn between the two. Well, that might be the same premise of the 1998 neo-noir thriller from a certain point of view. Yet, a movie like this shouldn’t have be as disappointing as it is with the overabundance of talentContinue reading “‘Twilight’ Dims Too Dull Too Soon”
