With the recent appearance of Mitch McConnell at the Senate, someone posted a photo from “A Case of the Stubborns,” which was the 10th episode of the first season of Tales from the Darkside. The series is an anthology show created by George A. Romero that ran for about four seasons in syndication airing atContinue reading “‘Tales From The Darkside’ Episode Seems Relevant With Current Events”

Sixth ‘Scary Movie’ Flick Isn’t The Shit, Just Shit
I loved the first two Scary Movie flicks even though the second one wasn’t as good but that could’ve been because of the rushed production. But there still was some great moments especially by Chris Elliott, the late Tim Curry and a scene where Shorty (Marlon Wayans) is rolled up in a bedsheet by aContinue reading “Sixth ‘Scary Movie’ Flick Isn’t The Shit, Just Shit”
‘Night Of The Creeps’ At 40: How An Homage Movie Became A Cult Classic
A movie like Night of the Creeps was probably never intended to be a big success. First time director Fred Dekker had been an up-and-coming writer in Hollywood when he got the chance to direct the movie. It’s a zombie movie that’s actually about zombies not flesh eating ghouls. Yet going into the movie, peopleContinue reading “‘Night Of The Creeps’ At 40: How An Homage Movie Became A Cult Classic”
Final Curtain Call For Tim Curry
Years ago, there was a meme going around that you can tell a lot about someone from what movie they most remember Tim Curry. On Aug. 25, the actor passed away more than 14 years after he suffered a life-changing stroke that left him in a wheelchair unable to walk. To condense Curry’s body ofContinue reading “Final Curtain Call For Tim Curry”
RIP Hayden Panettiere
I was shocked to hear of the death of Hayden Panettiere over the weekend. Even more shocking was I had watched Scream 4 earlier that day. She had played Kirby Reed in that movie as well as the sixth one. It was a long rumored fan theory that Kirby survived her injuries at the endContinue reading “RIP Hayden Panettiere”
‘Transformers’ Animated Movie At 40: What Went Wrong?
By the time The Transformers: The Movie hit theaters on this date 40 years ago, the commercials hinted that Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots was going to be killed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. But was it just a ploy to get more people in the theaters. The Transformers were a popularContinue reading “‘Transformers’ Animated Movie At 40: What Went Wrong?”
‘Ready Or Not 2’ Just A Bloody, Messy Redo
The first Ready or Not came out during the middle of a batch of movies that were yet another variation of “The Most Dangerous Game.” When it opened in late summer 2019, there was a lot of controversy over The Hunt that it could’ve totally overshadowed it.And then there was the dull The Belko ExperimentContinue reading “‘Ready Or Not 2’ Just A Bloody, Messy Redo”
‘Obsession’ Is A Monkey’s Paw Tale That’s All Thumbs
This post is going to contain a lot of spoilers but I feel it’s my duty to do so.There’s been a lot of talk about Obsession but I seriously doubt this movie had made a reported $443 million in just nine weeks. It didn’t have much hype or promotion and no main stars and directedContinue reading “‘Obsession’ Is A Monkey’s Paw Tale That’s All Thumbs”
‘They Will Kill You’ Will Bore You With Its Overkill Execution
The problem with They Will Kill You is that it reveals its twist early and there’s no build-up so the execution is overkill, literally. Made like a cross between Ready or Not and Kill Bill, Zazie Beets plays Asia Reaves, who was convicted of killing her abusive father, but has been released and takes aContinue reading “‘They Will Kill You’ Will Bore You With Its Overkill Execution”
Remembering Alex Kintner
Okay, I know Alex Kintner isn’t a real person. But his character died on this date, June 29, in the summer blockbuster Jaws. For years, photos have circulated online that show a darker death of the character. This is believed to be the work of Verna Fields, the film editor who won an Oscar forContinue reading “Remembering Alex Kintner”
