One thing that I think is misunderstood about The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is how Rebecca De Mornay’s character is affected by her husband’s suicide and own miscarriage. No, I think someone was wrong with with to begin with. De Mornay plays the wife of a Seattle-area obstetrician Victor Mott (John de Lancie) whoContinue reading “‘The Hand That Rocks The Cradle’ Twists The Genre For The Better”

Bare Bones Film Festival This Week
The annual Bare Bones Internal Film Festival is this week in Muskogee, Okla. The festival is meant to represent and honor filmmakers who make their shorts and features with lower incomes, usually under $1 million. Hence, they used the bare bones of funding available to make their movies. I’ve been hoping to cover it thisContinue reading “Bare Bones Film Festival This Week”
‘Chasing Chasing Amy’ Almost Seems Like It’s Chasing Ghosts
It is possible for a movie, TV show or book that seems groundbreaking on its release gets dated very poorly over the years. When Chasing Amy opened in theaters in the spring of 1997, it seemed at the time having a movie focusing on LGBTQIA characters in a more positive light than what they’re knownContinue reading “‘Chasing Chasing Amy’ Almost Seems Like It’s Chasing Ghosts”
RIP To Wings Hauser
Some actors you may only recognize from their face. Wings Hauser was one of those actors. Of course, if you’re a fan of Yellowstone, you might say he looks like Rip Wheeler, the character played by Cole Hauser, his son. It does seem Cole has had a more prosperous career appearing in classic movies likeContinue reading “RIP To Wings Hauser”
‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ May Be Coming Soon To A Theater Near You
While The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie has only made about $9 million, the positive reviews and word of mouth has breathed new life in the long-delayed Coyote vs. Acme. The live-action/animated movie has been in limbo for years with some reports that Warner Bros. Discovery was going to scrap itContinue reading “‘Coyote Vs.

‘You Can Call Me Bill’ Perfect Documentary For Actor On His Birthday
Today, William Shatner turns 94. Most celebrities never reach that milestone and those that do seem to live a quiet life where they slow down. Next to June Squibb, Shatner seems to be one of the hardest working celebrities in their mid-90s with no sign of slowing down. You Can Call Me Bill, written andContinue reading “‘You Can Call Me Bill’ Perfect Documentary For Actor On His Birthday”
‘Final Destination’ Hits Silver Anniversary 25 Years Later
The basic concept behind Final Destination is so fascinating because like all good horror movies, it touches on fears a lot of people have such as fear of flying and fear of our own immortality. There’s always concerns about the dangers of air travel. Timing is everything and this movie just happened to be releasedContinue reading “‘Final Destination’ Hits Silver Anniversary 25 Years Later”
‘Nosferatu’ Remake Lacks Much Bite
At this point in his career, I either think Robert Eggers is either trolling us or reading his own press and thinking he’s infallible. Granted, The Witch (or The Vvitch) is a nice broody horror story. And it was only about an hour and a half long, which is what is needed with a movieContinue reading “‘Nosferatu’ Remake Lacks Much Bite”
‘Heretic’ Lacks Much Salvation Without Coming To Honest Revelations
A movie like Heretic is a good prime example of a movie that blows a wonderful premise and a great acting role by a veteran actor by resorting to cliched tropes of horror. On a rainy day in an undisclosed community, two young Mormon missionaries, Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East), areContinue reading “‘Heretic’ Lacks Much Salvation Without Coming To Honest Revelations”
‘Maggie’ Showcases Schwarzenegger’s Acting Chops In Zombie Drama
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s acting abilities are up there with Chuck Norris and other actors mostly known for action roles. That basically means they churn out basically the same character over and over in different plots. Norris has a few good movies where he really nails the part, most notably Code of Silence. But that’s thanks toContinue reading “‘Maggie’ Showcases Schwarzenegger’s Acting Chops In Zombie Drama”
