One of the things I look for in movies, be they horror or otherwise, is a ‘cinematic’ look, which I often have difficulty describing though what I mean is a movie that looks like a movie. Which sounds fairly obvious, but bear with me. I mean there’s some actual cinematography going on, as in the […]
Prior to today if anyone said that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever would wind up in the Billion Dollar Club I’d wonder what they were talking about, since Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will likely finish it’s theatrical run somewhere in the $840 million ballpark before it goes to Disney+ February 1, which is a respectable return. […]
Warner Bros/New Line/DC Films’ Black Adam is available for stream on Redbox for $6.99, and while I think it’s overpriced I have to admit that I’m tempted. Which is interesting because I don’t particularly care – Black Adam’s story seems fairly derivative at this point – though I’m really curious to see it because it […]
Scott Cooper is a director who tends to take on fairly heavy subjects in movies like Into The Furnace (2013), Hostiles (2017), Antlers (2021) and most recently The Pale Blue Eye (2022). And having only the latter two movies; it there’s anything to be taken away from the experience is that Scott Cooper makes serious […]
John Carpenter’s In The Mouth of Madness is a really odd movie in that the more you view it, the better it gets (which is curious, considering the story). It revolves around an insurance investigator, John Trent (Sam Neill), who’s hired to find a missing author, Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow, who combines the prolificness of […]
There are few current television series that integrate music and images as well as Crave’s Letterkenney. If you haven’t seen it it’s currently on Hulu and worth watching. The series revolves around the quirky – or just plain weird – residents of the fictional community of Letterkenny. Created by Jared Kelso (who plays Wayne) and […]
Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting were 15 and 16 years of age when they starred in Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet, which was released in 1968. If you grew up in the 1980’s you’ve probably seen it, as I did. It was a long time ago and while it had a certain soft-core eroticism about […]
I haven’t seen any of The Human Centipede movies – it’s nothing to do with the idea of ‘eating ass’ in and of itself though based on what I’ve heard they take the idea a little too far – because while I’m don’t think of myself as squeamish, there are some roads I’m not the […]
David Bruckner’s The Night House is supposedly the movie that led David Goyer to choose him to direct Hulu’s Hellraiser reboot, which is really interesting because there’s little about that movie that would make him a good choice for that role. Brucker is very methodical and measured in how he approaches his projects and typically […]
That being said, I don’t hate Outer Banks – and if Pope and JJ don’t manage to hook up at least once I’ll be really irritated because that’s one of the plot threads that seemed to be dangling in Season Two. And I know that we’re talking about two dudes, but grow up though that […]
