I was underwhelmed by Fear Street Part 2: 1978 because it was exactly the same movie as Fear Street Part 1: 1994, except that the cast and location changed (the second movie switched to Camp Nightwing and an earlier time period). And I think that that’s expected if you’re dealing with the typical movie where […]
Let’s say right off that not only don’t I know Mindy Kaling, in fact I have never even seen her before in the real world. That being said, I’m watching Never Have I Ever on Netflix – pretty entertaining show, by the way – but I’ve also noticed that I have seen just one darker-skinned […]
Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Mist (2007) and many others) has been engaged in a lawsuit with AMC Networks for screwing him over on profits on The Walking Dead, which he was the original showrunner, for almost two decades. Seemingly his quest for the monies he believes he’s owed has ended (assuming that […]
I really wanted to like The Seventh Day because as someone who’s not a fan of the exorcism sub-genre I’ve been looking for a long time for a movie that managed to move beyond the typical tropes (people spinning on the ceiling, objects flying about, and so on). And it should go without saying that […]
Remember when Netflix cancelled Jupiter’s Legacy (2021) after a single season? I do because it wasn’t that long ago and I thought that it was a bit premature (though considering the production issues connected to the series – which came out after the fact – I shouldn’t be too surprised) though I didn’t think they’d […]
As a sort of an homage to the slasher horror genre, Fear Street Part One: 1994 was pretty damn good. The problem is that Fear Street Part Two: 1978 is pretty much the same movie. Sure, the characters change, the locations (and time period) change, but it’s still the same movie. And that really sucks […]
I don’t think it’s hyperbole if one were to say Guillermo Del Toro is among the most renown directors of the fantastic working today. Since his first feature film, 1993’s Chronos, the Mexican auteur has been well represented in the worlds of horror and the uncanny. Then there was 2015’s Crimson Peak, which was a […]
I really liked Netflix’s Fear Street Part 1: 1994 (2021) primarily because it was designed as a trilogy from the start, a risk traditional studios don’t often make (because when you’re basing whether or not a sequel comes about on the profitability of the movie before it it’s a really dangerous – and dumb, unless […]
Part of what bothers me about the current iteration of zombie – popularized (and ruined) by Zach Snyder, which is par for the course – is that they veer from the blueprint, the Bible, written by George Romero, who proclaimed from the mount that was Night of the Living Dead (1968) that ‘Zombies don’t run, […]
I don’t tend to read other people’s movie reviews – unless they’re irrelevant enough that I don’t take details from them because I can be that impressionable – and after I have already reviewed something I’m not typically too interested in what anyone thinks about the same subject. And I didn’t need to track down […]
