Before I begin, again, I want to express my thoughts and condolensces with the people of Maine and what has happened. Sadly, violence has always been a black eye on American history we don’t like to discuss, except in the positive way. We’ve romanticized The Revolutionary War and the Civil War, even though it should’veContinue reading “Slasher Horrors Reflected America’s Dark History During 1970s-1980s”

Better Ways To Spend Two Hours Than ‘Friday Night At Freddy’s’
I never got into the Friday Night at Freddy’s video game, so therefore, I won’t be as disappointed as the numerous fans over the last decade who have been waiting to see it come to screen. I’m sure their disappointment was already expected when they heard it was going to be rated PG-13. Then, UniversalContinue reading “Better Ways To Spend Two Hours Than ‘Friday Night At Freddy’s’”
‘Pet Sematary’ Finds New Life As Horror Classic Decades Later
Before I begin this post, I want to say that I express my thoughts and condolensces to the people of Maine for what has happened this past week. Also, this post will contain some spoilers so if please don’t read any further if you haven’t seen the movie or read the book. Stephen King’s PetContinue reading “‘Pet Sematary’ Finds New Life As Horror Classic Decades Later”
‘Cobweb’ Gets Too Tangled
A movie like Cobweb reminds me of Barbarian where you think it’s going one way but it goes in many different directions. This sometimes works. But if you’re going to pull it off, you better damn well make sure it works. To be honest, I’m getting tired of horror movies that are mostly set inContinue reading “‘Cobweb’ Gets Too Tangled”
Richard Roundtree Was One Bad Motherf-
To call the first Shaft movie a blaxploitation movie is somewhat of an insult. The word hadn’t been coined yet and it wouldn’t come into the vernacular until late summer of 1972. Shaft told the story of a private detective hired to track down the kidnapped daughter of a Harlem mobster. It’s a crime actionContinue reading “Richard Roundtree Was One Bad Motherf-“
‘Slotherhouse’ One Crazy Movie
A movie as outrageously dumb as Slotherhouse is enjoyable alone for how obvious the filmmakers just didn’t give a fuck but still manage to make a movie enoyable. Set mostly at a sorority house that looks like a secluded mansion on top of a hill (because the movie was filmed in Serbia?!?!), the plot revolvesContinue reading “‘Slotherhouse’ One Crazy Movie”
Slasher Horror Comedy About 1980s Is Almost ‘Totally Killer’
Totally Killer suffers from the same problem most horror-comedies suffer from. It works better as a horror movie than as a comedy. That might be why when Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson were making the Scream movies, they decided to use the comedy sporadically. And you can see the difference in Scream 3 as comparedContinue reading “Slasher Horror Comedy About 1980s Is Almost ‘Totally Killer’”
‘The Boogeyman’ Is Nothing To Be Frightened Of
The Boogeyman is hampered by two huge problems. The first is the PG-13 rating which leaves most of the movie in the dark with scenes that are poorly lit. I guess ever since the ratings board felt that Dee Wallace Stone firing a shotgun at a door in The Frighteners was too intense for aContinue reading “‘The Boogeyman’ Is Nothing To Be Frightened Of”
Who’s A Good Boy? ‘Strays’
Strays is one of those movies that could very easily be a one-joke idea that runs out of steam in its first 30 minutes. I think of movies like Sausage Party or This Is The End that thought if they kept repeating the same joke over and over the audience would still be laughing byContinue reading “Who’s A Good Boy? ‘Strays’”
‘Beerfest’ Brews A Great Comedy
With Oktoberfest happening this weekend in Tulsa, I thought I’d look at Beerfest, the 2006 comedy made by Broken Lizard. Even though the movie barely broke even at the box office and got mixed reviews, it remains one of the comedy troupe’s best movies second to their breakthrough hit Super Troopers. Two brothers of GermanContinue reading “‘Beerfest’ Brews A Great Comedy”
