It's getting harder to have a merry Christmas with kids acting the way they do. It used to be easy. He used to be an optimist, but he's got enough scars to question his faith in this holiday season.

The economy makes it hard to make ends meet, but still, he goes on with his duties because the few that appreciate his efforts make it all worthwhile for him. Of course, some people are bound to be let down because they haven't been very nice. No, they haven't been very nice at all, and the only way... Continue »

With the US election on the horizon I figured it would be nice to have a place for CIVIL political discord. That being said feel free to drag your third world non-american politics into the mix as well

I haven't bought a lot other than these, almost all at the same time and all blu-ray:

Friday the 13th Part 2
Massacre in Dinosaur Valley
Massacre at Central High
Death Laid an Egg (supposedly with an English language dub option this time)
Living Dead at Manchester Morgue

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT??!!!!

Oh, I get it. Because Toxie is huge, let's make the new one small!

Okay, I know Screen Rant is a pile of shit that is only still in business because of the Pitch Meeting videos, but what the hell is this? Is this for real? He better only be playing the Melvin version.

Oh what the fuck, I'm sure it'll suck either way....

Can someone just explain something to me. I don't know where to ask this question, I'm just gonna ask it here. Please just leave this up until someone has explained this to me, I reallly want to understand it.

When people in the comments section on Youtube videos, or on Twitter, or probably just basically everwhere online... when people make a post that goes like this:

Nobody:
Nobody ever:
Something something: punchline

What the hell does that mean? What are they talking about? I must hav... Continue »

I mean, movies set in England, or anywhere in the UK I guess, in a big old "country house"/manor/semi-castle/whatever. Does anybody have any good ones that come to mind? The Legacy is the first one that comes to mind, for me. Also, The Crimson Cult, AKA Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968), whcih was on TV late-ish last night, and is the reason I'm thinking of this topic. Also, Vampyres (1974), Wicker Man (1973), Lair of the White Worm (1988)(partly, not the whole movie but sometimes)... you co... Continue »

This is a movie that, much like Ice Cream Man 1995, is one that I thought would have been terrible and had avoided for most of my life. It turned out I was wrong. Again.

The premise is dumb as hell, but the execution is lot of fun. Our serial killer embodied in a snowman has snow-related powers and kills people in ways that start off seeming like accidental deaths, but he quickly progresses to some of those creative slasher kills we were all waiting for.

For the most part, you don't see much o... Continue »

1) Use IMDb Ratings, Scoring Chart:

1.0-1.9 = 5 points
2.0-2.9 = 4 points
3.0-3.9 = 3 points
4.0-4.4 = 2 points
4.5-4.9 = 1 point


2) First Time View = 1 additional point

3) Can be any genre

4) Trifecta Rule: Directors and Series
(e.g. watch 3 movies by David DeCoteau to get a 5 point Director Trifecta bonus; or watch 3 Puppet Master movies to get a 5 point Series Trifecta bonus)

5) A movie can only count towards one trifecta and all movies in the trifecta must be 4.9 or under.

6) Trifect... Continue »

Victoria Jackson is trending on Twitter tonight. Not because ofanything she did, it's just because someone who is in the news today looks like her. But anyway, it reminded me of an old Weekend Update where she revealed her brilliant method of rating movies. The way to think about this is to think about how enjoyable a movie actually is, to watch. Gandhi, Gone With the Wind, etc are fine to watch now and then, but probably not every single day. A three star movie, on the other hand, is just... Continue »

I was just thinking about this recently. Sometimes there is a year in which several very similar movies (or at least fairly similar movies) come out. There could be more than one reason why this happens, of course. Maybe a screenwriter is describing his idea for a movie to his girlfriend at a Hollywood restaurant, and is overheard by someone working for a rival studio. Or, maybe there was a big story in the news the year before, which started a sort of craze to make movies related to whateve... Continue »

One of the first movies to ever scare the shit out of me as a kid was The Amityville Horror 1979. It's tame enough to play on TV, but still suggestive enough to get under your skin a bit. It's got a great cast, a great score, and a great late 70s vibe.

Everything about it works for me, and in my mind, I knew the sequels would never compare, so avoided them. Maybe this movie was a bit sacred to me because of nostalgia, but as a horror fan, I'm ashamed of myself for waiting this long. Whether t... Continue »

Znep wasn't kidding. This movie has a lot of boobs and it's 10 times better than the first... on account of the boobs. Jim Wynorski seemed to be pretty fond of them, and what a gratuitous thing that can be. Also fun fact, this movie was produced in a week, and ol' Jim never saw the first movie.

With that said, this movie has nothing to do with the last movie. They threw all that psychic-drama and backstory away to put five busty college girls into a separate sorority house with its own massacre... Continue »

Hey guys. So for December I had the 80s challenge in the slot. However, I am going to be super busy, and cannot host it. So does anyone want to host that challenge, or Do they have their own they want to try out? If so go for it! And I hope everyone has a good day!

This one doesn't get talked about much, but for a 4.5 slasher in the ideal decade for it, the movie ain't bad at all.

The film draws heavily from Halloween. The Los Angeles filming locations had me verifying that this wasn't the same suburban neighborhood, but it must be close. It also features a character named "Laura" who has some psychotic family issues, our killer is an escaped nutjob Myers clone without a mask, and he's after a group of young kids who can't seem to yell loud enough for the...

I just noticed this recently. Mr. Hammond from Jurassic Park, Mr. Happer from Local Hero (1983), and Mr. Hadden from Contact (1997), are probably all thinly disguised fictional versions of Howard Hughes. Just think about it: they all have the H names, of course, but also they are all staggeringly rich, eccentric entrepreneurs and visionaries, who can function almost as gods in the movies they are characters in. Mr. Happer from Local Hero might have inherited his wealth, I forget... he's certa... Continue »

Just shooting the shit here. Internet forums in particular required a username to get by, so what are some of your old monickers on the world wide web?

I've gone by a few Ren & Stimpy names, as well as a bunch of Cornbugs song titles. Some of my nicknames were pro-communism, some of them were asinine... but most of them are Cornbugs songs. Cornbugs Cornbugs, everyone's a cornbug.


Also, with the death of message boards, I sadly no longer feel the need to create a new username ever. Not tha... Continue »

To clarify, this one isn't a turkey... but the next one is!

As the film's actual subtitle implies, this movie is set "The Next Day" after terrorizing Porky's bar out in the swamps, as well as getting Pee Wee laid. We have the same crew and the same sex-fueled hijinks, and most of them are still plenty amusing. I got a lot of good laughs out of the first movie, and almost as many this time.

I love the improv parts of certain scenes though. My favorite is when they're doing the whole graveyard a... Continue »

Another year (and what a shite one at that) and another October challenge done and dusted. Congratulations to those who completed the target of 31 horror movies in 31 days, and thanks to those that came back especially to contribute. I am sure Box would love you all to stick around or at least drop by when you can. Sadly I am embarrassed and ashamed to say that yours truly fell short but hey, there is always next year. A special congratulations to our overall winner,... Continue »

Is anybody else here a fan of this movie? I am one. It's not UNBELIEVABLY original... if you try to imagine a combination of the old Harrison Ford movie Frantic (1988) and The Bourne Identity (2002), you can imagine the general idea. There might be some elements of other Jason Bourne movies, and maybe even a little Trading Places (1982), in a totally non-comedy sort of way... and, there is, arguably, a little Resident Evil (2002) in there, too. OK, sorry, this is probably just a confusing w... Continue »

Okay... so just another reminder! Amber Heard Sucks, and Johnny Depp deserves better. I think he handled stepping down from his role very respectfully, but if he has to step down due to his controversy, shouldn't Amber Heard have to step down from her role in aqua man sequels? Personally I think this is all BS!

I am watching it on FX right now. Jesus. I keep thinking, people should use clips from this movie, from just before the explosion, to connote extreme pressure. Like, you know... pressure not to fail, pressure to do the right thing, to say the right thing, whatever... just any kind of psychological pressure that people feel. I guess I mean they should do it in comedy movies, but Deepwater Horizon is not funny at all. Whew.

This will be the third time they've tried to revive it, and the second time that the CW will try their hand at it. The CW though? Really? The guy doing it claims to want to make it a "sequel" series as similar to the original as possible, but you know that wont happen. They're going to fudge it up for sure, but I'll still keep my eyes on this one, just out of sheer curiosity.
