I almost didn’t want to do a blog about Jeepers Creepers. Victor Salva, the writer/director is an convicted child molester. Then, again so is Roman Polanski. I’m not too keen on his works either. But I decided to do it anyway mainly because it’s the 23rd Spring since the movie came out in 2001. TheContinue reading “The 23rd Spring Since ‘Jeepers Creepers’ Has Arrived”

‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ Is When The Oscars Got It Right
A movie like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest could’ve been a disaster. It spent years in development hell with Kirk Douglas originally wanting to play the main role before realizing he was too old. Other actors, such as Burt Reynolds, were considered before Jack Nicholson was hired. He, himself, had almost given up totallyContinue reading “‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ Is When The Oscars Got It Right”
‘Cursed’ Is Just That
In theatre, it’s considered bad luck to say the name of the play MacBeth. I also think it’s bad luck to use certain words or phrases in a movie or TV show. Rumor has it that the filmmakers behind In the Line of Fire tried to turn “That’s not gonna happen” spoken by Clint Eastwood’sContinue reading “‘Cursed’ Is Just That”
‘Tremors’ Shakes Up Horror Genre
A movie like Tremors shouldn’t be as good as it is. Released during the winter of 1990, it was typically reserved for the bottom of the barrel of movies. Tremors boasted a nice cast of Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Reba McEntire and Michael Gross. It had also been scheduled to be released during the FallContinue reading “‘Tremors’ Shakes Up Horror Genre”
The Strange Case of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard
The Gypsy Rose Blanchard case is one of the most strangest ever. Was she a cold-blooded murderer or was she just a person who didn’t see any way else out. She only had a second-grade education at the time her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn fatally stabbed her mother, Dee Dee. Gypsy-Rose says in the latest 20/20Continue reading “The Strange Case of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard”
‘Straw Dogs’ Has A Better Bite Over Its Original’s Meager Bark
Filmmaker Jean-Luc Goddard once said, “The way to criticize a film is to make another film.” In 1971, when Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs was released during the Christmas holiday season, it shocked audiences and divided them. Based on the novel The Siege at Trencher’s Farm, it starred Dustin Hoffman as a meager intelligent mathematician whoContinue reading “‘Straw Dogs’ Has A Better Bite Over Its Original’s Meager Bark”
Unwrapping ‘Nightmare Before Christmas
The Nightmare Before Christmas might just well be one of the most disappointing movies ever made. How could something with a great concept and stunning visuals be so incredibly dull and problematic? I remember watching this once when it went to video in 1994 and feeling bored. I later was talking about it with someoneContinue reading “Unwrapping ‘Nightmare Before Christmas”
