I saw Blink Twice on Amazon Prime and there was a title card disclaimer alerting the viewers there’s scenes of sexual violence in the movie. While that pretty much spoils the twist in this movie, you can pretty much guess what is happening. A movie like this blends elements of the British TV show TheContinue reading “You’ll Only Want To Watch “Blink Twice” Just One Time”

‘Cannibal! The Musical’ An Appetizer Of What To Come From Future Stars
A movie like Cannibal! The Musical is amateurish but not everyone gets it the right the first time. With the exception of Orson Welles, Harper Lee and the Coen Brothers, many filmmakers, writers and actors have to find their groove through trial and error. Reportedly after seeing a rough cut of Boxcar Bertha, John CassavetesContinue reading “‘Cannibal! The Musical’ An Appetizer Of What To Come From Future Stars”
SNL’s 50th Anniversary Show Is Golden
I think one of the most amazing things about Saturday Night Live isn’t its longevity. It’s that so many people of the original cast are still alive. While John Belushi and Gilda Radner passed away in the 1980s, others such as Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin, Larraine Newman and Bill Murray areContinue reading “SNL’s 50th Anniversary Show Is Golden”
‘Trigger Warning’ Has Hits And Misfires
A movie like Trigger Warning is the type of B-movie schlock you’d run across in a video rental place 20 years ago and wonder why someone like Jessica Alba would do it. And then you realize you hadn’t seen Jessica Alba in anything for a while. This is her first movie in five years sinceContinue reading “‘Trigger Warning’ Has Hits And Misfires”
‘Pale Rider’ Is Eastwood’s Supernatural Western Masterpiece
Clint Eastwood has never done a real straight horror movie. His first movie as a lab tech in one single scene Return of the Creature was more of a monster movie. Play Misty for Me and Tightrope are more erotic psychological thrillers. And even the Dirty Harry movies are more focused on action thrills thanContinue reading “‘Pale Rider’ Is Eastwood’s Supernatural Western Masterpiece”
South Park’s Mockery Of Canada Seems More Timely With Classic Episode, Guy
Almost from the beginning of their run, South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone seemed to have been poking fun of Canada in one form or another. They had Canadians Terrence and Phillip who were popular with the South Park children for their constant flatulence. This led to one of their most controversial episodesContinue reading “South Park’s Mockery Of Canada Seems More Timely With Classic Episode, Guy”
‘Ravenous’ Has A Huge Bite
A movie like Ravenous takes a very tender subject and turns it on its side. Cannibalism has always kind of been one of those odd topics for horror. The eating of human flesh is still a cliched trope but reports are coming out that it’s quite possible in the respective colonial and antebellum days ofContinue reading “‘Ravenous’ Has A Huge Bite”
‘Eyes Wide Shut’ 25 Years Later Still Divides Kubrick’s Fans
One thing I’ve always liked about Stanley Kubrick’s movies is how they grow on you after repeated viewings. Only, I didn’t like Spartacus, but I understand there were problems between Kubrick and Kirk Douglas which caused Kubrick to leave Hollywood and live the rest of his life in England. Kubrick loved chess so much thatContinue reading “‘Eyes Wide Shut’ 25 Years Later Still Divides Kubrick’s Fans”
‘Nutcrackers’ Is Unadulterated Pap
By now as we put a close on 2024, it should be evident that streaming services have become the dumping grounds for bad movies. Usually, studios did this in January. But why wait until the new year when you can just dump it on a streaming service and get the write off for the nextContinue reading “‘Nutcrackers’ Is Unadulterated Pap”
‘Girls Gone Wild’ Documentary Explores Dark History Behind Video Franchise
I never did watch a Girls Gone Wild video. They were everywhere back when I was in my early 20s. You’d see the promo commercials late at night which looked like nothing more than young women on Spring Break or night clubs showing their breasts and maybe their butts all the time. But how muchContinue reading “‘Girls Gone Wild’ Documentary Explores Dark History Behind Video Franchise”
