Alone in the Dark (1982) and Drop Dead Fred (1990) both coming out on Blu-ray.

This is something I've been trying to figure out for many years. I think I posted this on the old Horror board on IMDb once too, but never got an answer. Back in 1978 or possibly earlier (No later as I know it was before The Dain Curse and Salem's Lot), I saw part of a TV movie or possibly an episode of some show where a woman was groping around inside a dark house at night, presumably where she was not supposed to be because she had to get out fast when a car pulled into the driveway. She dr... Continue »

Roger Corman gives us this high school comedy about students just trying to rock when the new principal is a tight ass who hates anything with a beat. Naturally, she has to hate The Ramones!

If you didn't already know it, The Ramones are great. Apparently, they weren't the first choice for the band in this movie though. They wanted Todd Rundgren, Cheap Trick, Devo, Van Halen.. fuck it. Let's just use The Ramones!

So our main character is P.J. Soles and she's pretty hot in this movie. She's a R... Continue »

Since everyone has been waiting for this movie for so long... and I say that with some sarcasm and some legitimacy... I just watched it. Alex and Keanu have been trying to make a sequel for years, and for some reason, it took 'em a quarter of a century, but it somehow ended up alright.

So Bill and Ted have fallen flat and aren't the bigshots they hope to be. They're still married to their former princesses, but their relationships are somewhat stagnant. They also have daughters who are super ho... Continue »

Yeah, that's coming out. They sure do love shitting on Romero's immortal classic due to its public domain status, releasing a bunch of awful spin-offs that no one will remember. This one happens to feature our protagonist actors from Day of the Dead, which also had its fair share of shitty "sequels". Anywho, we have...

I mostly hate the films of Ray Dennis Steckler. Especially the ones he made in the 60's, which has always been considered his hey day. Wacky, silly, somewhat fast-paced, yet uninteresting films like The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies, as well as the nearly unwatchable Rat Pfink A(nd) Boo Boo. Movies which were obviously made by someone who loved what he wa... Continue »

When it comes to slashers, the tail end of the 80s almost became a caricature of itself, but that doesn't make these movies any less fun. Anchor Bay discs were pure gold to horror fans, and Cheerleader Camp is one of those titles I was perfectly happy blind-buying because of this.

Who doesn't like cheerleaders? Who doesn't like camp slashers? Who wouldn't want to watch these two glorious things mingle? The ladies here are fine as fuck and the vibes are just right.

Betsy Russell plays our lead... Continue »

At least he got through last year, right? Dude was pretty fuckin' old, but I'd heard news even recently that he was still interested in doing Lethal Weapon 5. Of course, that could have been dementia talking for all we know, just to make us LW fans aroused, but whatever. The point is that he was active for a while and kept the dream of directing alive, because a good filmmaker doesn't let age stop him from having a vision.


I could care less about the Superman movies. DC isn't exactly my cup of... Continue »

Why? Because it's the 4th of July, and John Connor is going to get murdered by the T-850 on July 4th, 2032, so it's barely relevant!


T2 left a big set of shoes to fill, and it took 12 years before they shat out another movie, so it had to be good, right? Well, sorta.

Since James Cameron and Linda Hamilton refused involvement (and Eddie Furlong was a junkie at the time), this one relies solely on Arnold's star power, which is enough to make it a passable entry. Surely, without our epic cast an... Continue »

WTF is a ghoulie? Well, they're small demons that are summoned out of a toilet, obviously. Going to college is the third venture of these hooligan gremlin rip-offs. I saw this entry before I saw the others, and what is there to say about the others?

All I can remember about the first one is that I don't remember any of it. The 4th movie was made by Jim Wynorski, who has a tendency to make sequels to films he hasn't seen, so his movie retains little to none of the lore, so where does that leave... Continue »

Five men end up trapped in an office building basement and tell spooky stories.
1) A man has a recurring dream about finding his sister, who turns out not to be human.
2) A neat-freak pushes his wife just a bit too far.
3) A magician tries to steal a trick, but ends up paying for it.
4) A man tries to commit insurance fraud.
5) An artist infuses his paintings with a touch of voodoo.

Very effectively done anthology. Usually there is one story that is a weak link, but these are all really well do... Continue »

It took a while for me to warm up to this one, but it's a pretty solid movie overall. Part of me was reluctant to like it because it's a movie about a fucking killer car. A dumb premise can work in the right hands though, and John Carpenter was at his best in the 80s.

I guess it does have some Stephen King vibes, but it always seemed more like a Carpenter movie than a King movie to me. The soundtrack helps, which always reminded me of Halloween III (same era), and it's got that classic Albertus... Continue »

Two men assume their month-long duties to tend a lighthouse, but madness starts to set in.
Shooting in B&W worked great for this film, not only for the time period it took place in, but with the overall feel of the film. Same with the aspect ratio. Seeing as how there were only (for 99% of the film) two characters, it made it feel more personal.
Not positive exactly what the film was about. It was either Ephraim going insane, Ephraim already insane, or we were seeing two different sides of t... Continue »

A man returns to LA in hopes of rekindling a romance with his ex-wife, but ends up getting mixed up in an attempt to hijack an armored truck.
This is one of the few movies I've seen that fall into the film-noir category. It's also one of the few Burt Lancaster movies I've seen.
There was a lot going on in this film. Tragic romances, double-crosses, double-double crosses, gunfights, fistfight.
This was a really well put together film. The acting was above par (with one brief scene excluded), sets... Continue »

If you've seen any other Saw movie, you know what to expect here. Yeah, they're trying to pretend it's not really a sequel, but a spinoff, but who are we kidding here? Okay, so it's a copycat killer who has no real connection to John Kramer, but so what? It's still the same old shit. This is as much a sequel to Saw as "A New Beginning" is a sequel to Friday the 13th.

The fact that it stars Chris Rock is something interesting, I guess. He's actually not such a bad actor in a serious roll, but I... Continue »

During WWI, two British soldiers are tasked with a mission to stop an ill-fated attack on a German fortified position.
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't really know that much about WWI, aside from the basic facts, such as cause, combatants and the immediate outcome and how the terms basically made WWII inevitable.
The movie itself is gritty and action-packed, with an occasion lull to let the viewers catch their breath before things blow up again (sometimes literally).
The British accent and sl... Continue »

So, I've been watching "How I Met Your Mother" lately, and it made me think this would be a fun group to have as friends.
If you could pick any TV family, friends, group, etc., who would they be?

When I'm 64? That was 15 years ago. Dude put on the best concert I've ever been to, and that was only a couple years ago.

He's got a new Hulu doc next month that I want to watch. I need to get a new computer so I can download it instead.

I watched a Twilight Zone twofer with "To Serve Man", a classic episode with big-headed aliens, Richard Kiel, and double meanings... and then the Frisby episode, which is one of my favorites.

Twilight Zone was known to dabble in different genres, and this is definitely a comedic effort. Frisby claims to have done it all, and every time he's called out on a contradiction, he has an excuse or an amendment to the story. Reminds me of a guy I know... but I think his nicknames are what makes it. Arc... Continue »

A high school girl takes a babysitting job at a remote house, but she starts getting disturbing and threatening calls.
Remake of the 1979 classic. Sometimes it's difficult to remake a film, especially a well-known one. I thought they did a pretty good job. Not sure if the original ended the same way (been at least 30 years since seeing it), but the ending of this version was pretty telegraphed.
I was expecting Jill's love of running to play a more significant part. The killer, when we get to see... Continue »

Amazon Prime knows me well. For a DTV looking turkey, this wasn't too bad. It has a Blade Runner atmosphere and various sci-fi tropes. You have to with a title like that, right?

Roddy Piper plays the lead, a detective trying to find some escaped/dead prisoner he used to know (Billy Drago) who's been infected by some weird alien parasite. This is probably the only time I've seen Drago in a prominent role, and Roddy Piper definitely cashes in his cool points for this. He's still basically a rip-o... Continue »

Heard this on the radio this afternoon.
Apparently, one of the actors in the movie turned out to be a serial killer. He played a surgical assistant, and he was convicted of killing six people.

The gist is this: watch movies or TV episodes with the word "Don't" in the title.
Points are as follows:
FTV: 1 point
Movie: 2 points
TV episode: 1 point

Any genre accepted. Only exclusion is tv series with "Don't" in the title of the series, but episodes OF the series with "Dont" will count.

Whatcha think?
