In the annals of classic horror actors, you might not expect people to know the name David Emge. He only appeared in about five movies and hasn’t appeared in a movie since 1992 Hellmaster. But it was his role as one of the leads in the horror-satire classic Dawn of the Dead released in 1978Continue reading “Soar High “Flyboy””

Is There A ‘Home Alone’ Curse?
Home Alone and its sequel have become such a staple of the Christmas holiday season that you can say “Merry Christmas, you filthy animal!” and get the reference not seeing it as an insult. The movie was originally just intended to be a silly family-friendly slapstick comedy that might make a few bucks here andContinue reading “Is There A ‘Home Alone’ Curse?”
‘Pet Sematary: Bloodlines’ Is Okay But Sometimes A Dead Franchise Is Better
The Pet Sematary franchise has been a difficult one to justify. The first one released back in 1989 had some problems but director Mary Lambert did a great job as adapting Stephen King’s own screenplay and turning it into a nice B-movie thriller. Despite what some people have said, it’s not a slasher but dealsContinue reading “‘Pet Sematary: Bloodlines’ Is Okay But Sometimes A Dead Franchise Is Better”
Republican Ideology: The Needs Of The Few Outweigh The Needs Of The Many
Well, we avoided another government shutdown. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick and tired of this happening every time a political party doesn’t get their way. Now one might say, the Democrats shut down government themselves in the 1980s. Yes, I checked and it was less than a day twice in 1984Continue reading “Republican Ideology: The Needs Of The Few Outweigh The Needs Of The Many”
‘American Dream’ A Nightmare Of Corporate Greed, Labor Union Mistakes
The tagline on one of the movie posters of American Dream is “The film that corporate America doesn’t want you to see.” I think that’s comical. Because after sitting through the roughly 100 minutes of this documentary, you will probably also conclude that labor unions don’t want you to see it either. That might explainContinue reading “‘American Dream’ A Nightmare Of Corporate Greed, Labor Union Mistakes”
‘Fire In The Sky’ Fizzles Out Long Before Frightening Finale
With news this week that NASA officials believe that UFO sightings aren’t credible but they do entertain the possibility of extraterrestrial life, it is no better time to review the 1993 sci-fi/horror/mystery Fire in the Sky. It’s a muddled movie that seems like a glorified TV movie that never does really achieve what it should’ve.Continue reading “‘Fire In The Sky’ Fizzles Out Long Before Frightening Finale”
‘Come To Daddy’ Is An Unusual Thriller That Deserves A Bigger Audience
Every now and again, a movie comes with such a great plot and a well-deserved twist that it seems to fly under the radar for several years. It’s been almost 20 years since Elijah Wood played the iconic role of Frodo Baggins getting on the ship set for the grey heavens in the Oscar-winning TheContinue reading “‘Come To Daddy’ Is An Unusual Thriller That Deserves A Bigger Audience”
‘Mr. Harrigan’s Phone’ Stretches Too Much Out, But Still Makes The Call
For a movie that’s about an elderly man’s phone, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone is a good 20 minutes too long in its length, repeating itself when it’s not necessary. Not to criticize all elderly people who talk on the phone, but this movie based on a novella of the same name by Stephen King, seems theContinue reading “‘Mr. Harrigan’s Phone’ Stretches Too Much Out, But Still Makes The Call”
My Thoughts On ‘Willow’ Series: You Aren’t Great!
I’m just going to throw this out of there and all Gen Xers and nerds are just going to have to deal with it, but the 1988 Willow movie wasn’t as good as we remember. I was barely 10 when the movie was in theaters but I finally saw it on HBO the following summer.Continue reading “My Thoughts On ‘Willow’ Series: You Aren’t Great!”
‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot
The Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) had some big expectations after they’re back-to-back success of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers:Endgame. I’d argue they basically boosted abilities of the MCU with their hit films Captain America: The Winter Soldier (the best so far) and Captain America: Civil War (which seemed like a pseudo-Avengers movie). They weren’tContinue reading “‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot”
