Predator was one of those eighties films that blew my young mind when it released. My mom brought it home from her job at the drug store, which also housed the towns only video rental store and comic book rack. I purchased a dozen or so of the original Marvel Transformers comics from there. See?…

Back in 2019 – pre-pandemic, and when some folks still considered me to be “interesting” – I signed babies and kissed books in the same room with the director of this film, Sam Raimi. He and Bruce Campbell were rumored to be a couple of thankless twats on the horror convention circuit who treated their…

This film was meant to be the Gen X savior after Rise of Skywalker slapped us all across the face with its lightsaber. Then, the pandemic happened. Our entire worlds changed. We glitched. Let’s see what the fine folks at Wikipedia have to say about this film: Bill & Ted Face the Music is a 2020…

The one thing I waited for during last night’s Superb Owl had nothing at all to do with Football. I’m a hockey fan, peeps. I haven’t watched a football game in 26 years, and I’d prefer to keep that record climbing. Do they still celebrate after running three feet and tripping over their own feet?…

I wanted to sit on this one a few days before I wrote it. I hope it comes out okay, because I’m still not sure what I want to say. Wish me luck? Until then, let’s see what the fine folks at Wikipedia have to say about this film (donate to them if you can,…

Now that the Rob Reiner band-wagon has slowed, I feel as though it’s time to discuss what I believe to be his magnum opus. Let’s see what the fine folks at Wikipedia have to say about this film (please donate to them if you can): Stand by Me is a 1986 American coming-of-age drama film[5] directed by Rob Reiner. Based…

1977. What a time to be alive. Close Encounters, Star Wars, and Smokey and the Bandit released in the same year. I was four years old, meaning these three films played on repeat throughout my childhood. It was a magical time. Let’s see what the fine folks at Wikipedia have to say about this film…

I’m a cat person, but I like other people’s dogs. Well, I like other people’s dogs just as long as I’m not staying the night in their home. It’s weird for both me and the dog, and I can feel that tension during the visit. The dog actually lives there, plus he or she has…

There was a time when an A24 film was an event. Now, between them and Neon, every film is an indie winner. But… doesn’t that make it mainstream? So, is it only an independent film if it’s done by someone other than A24 or Neon? I’m so confused. Let’s see what the fine folks at…

Don’t tell anyone I said to steal their HBO Max password.

Man, The South is going to be in an uproar if they ever learn to collectively appreciate documentary films!

Day 3 of 31: It’s a Sid & Marty Croft style glam metal fever-dream with the trippiest rubber costumes ever molded.

Girl power pseudo-horror night? Anyone?

The scariest part is when you leave the theater and ponder this film while staring at the midnight ceiling.

I saw the first Final Destination film as an on-flight movie once. That’s love. It’s been imitated, perhaps replicated, but never duplicated, even by any of its own films in the franchise. Don’t get me wrong; they try, and they’re good tries… But the original Final Destination is brilliant. It was a gateway horror film…

Disclaimer: I have not researched why this film was made in 2023 and released in 2025. Google is free and in your pocket. I just figured it wasn’t going to be that life-changing of an epiphany. My loss if it is, and I can live with that. When Finn Wolfhard came onto the scene, he…
