The Faculty is one of those horror movies that is the last of its kind. Released in late December 1998, no one associated with the production could’ve ever thought of the massacre four months later at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. There’s no way a movie like this could be filmed now and thoseContinue reading “‘The Faculty’ Is Old-School Sci-Fi/Horror That Makes The Grade”

Rest In Power, Graham Greene
Graham Greene was 37 when he was cast in the role that would forever change his life and career. He had been acting in a few small roles on the TV and in movies. Born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ohsweken, Ontario, he had been acting since his early 20s. But in 1989, heContinue reading “Rest In Power, Graham Greene”
‘The War Of The Roses’ Breaks The American Beauty Of Thorny Marriages
I had intended to do a different movie for this post but decided with recent events to focus on something else. Just a reminder, this post may contain spoilers. The War of the Roses is one of the best satirical black comedies ever. What makes it work is the era in which it was released.Continue reading “‘The War Of The Roses’ Breaks The American Beauty Of Thorny Marriages”
Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’
I have to hand it to Eli Roth. I’ve not liked a lot of his movies and think he’s way too full of himself a lot of times just like his one of his collaborators, Quentin Tarantino. But his 2023 movie Thanksgiving was a great ode to the 1980s slasher craze with some social commentaryContinue reading “Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’”
‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached
I’ve often wondered if people who work in some professions really like or hate their jobs to the point they’re embarrassed to tell anyone what they do. One of my friends was going to interview for a position at Adult Video News but decided at the last minute not to go because he wouldn’t knowContinue reading “‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached”
‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception
Stay Tuned is one of those movies that tries too hard to a movie for everyone that it never really pushes the boundaries of what it could’ve been capable of. This, I’m sure, is because the production company, Morgan Creek, was in need of a huge hit. That would come later in 1992 with theirContinue reading “‘Stay Tuned’ Gets Mixed Reception”
‘The Pickup’ Can Dropped Off
Every year, it seems a writer or actor has a dichotomy where one of their movies is the best while the other is the worst. And then there’s the double whammy where an actor or writer has two of the worst movies of their career released in the same year. Eva Longoria has the distinctionContinue reading “‘The Pickup’ Can Dropped Off”
‘Copycat’ At 30 Popular Again
With all the talk from the manosphere, conservatives, and online trolls about how movies are “woke” now, it ponders a question as to why has Copycat become so popular again as it was one of the highest streaming movies on Netflix. Released one month after the more anticipated Se7en, it follows a similar premise ofContinue reading “‘Copycat’ At 30 Popular Again”
‘War Of The Worlds’ Is The ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Of The 21st Century
The latest adaptation of The War of the Worlds is as terrible as you’ve heard. I think the best comment was when someone online said it should’ve been an e-mail. It sucks that H.G. Wells’ book fell into the public domain because his estate should sue the filmmakers. If you thought the 1996 version ofContinue reading “‘War Of The Worlds’ Is The ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Of The 21st Century”
We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology
I’m in no hurry to see Freakier Friday. I just watched the original one the other day for the first time in 20 years. Over the years, the actress/singer took a lot of shit for what people said and did. I’d argue the whole thing with Georgia Rule and her partying was just a PRContinue reading “We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology”
