A lot of people seem to take a perverse joy in watching Nicholas Cage overacting style of acting, but it typically it doesn’t move me. Though what’s worse is that it feels to me Cage is being mocked, which is sad becaus he clearly trusts in his directors enough that he’s willing to swing for […]
While it’s good news that M. Night Shyamalan is finally getting around to producing a sequel to his Bruce Willis/Sam Jackson-led Unbreakable, three problems in particular come to mind. 1. The original Unbreakable came out 17 years ago. The point being that a lot of people aren’t going to get fired up for a sequel to a […]
Goodnight Mommy won the award for European Cinematographer in 2015 at the 28th annual European Film Awards and is also Austria’s entry for Best Foreign Film at the 2016 Academy Awards. The only problem with that whole Academy Award thing is Serverin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s film is a horror movie, and when do horror movies win Academy Awards? (The […]
Jessica makes peace with Luke Cage, after he learns that Kilgrave isn’t a figment of her imagination. We also get a little more information as to how Jones got her abilities. And speaking of Cage, The more they show of him and his abilities, the more I want to see Iron Fist because as […]
“The Visit is possibly the best M. Night Shyamalan movie since The Sixth Sense.”
“”Dark Summer” Isn’t The Season Horror Fans Are Waiting For (Though It’s Still Better Than “Ouija”).” Watching Dark Summer you can tell that the filmmakers thought that they were onto something special, and I can understand why. The movie has some beautiful cinematography and is shot and edited in a manner designed to heighten atmosphere and tension. Keir Gilchrist plays […]
“Bedtime is at 9:30. It’s probably best that you don’t come out of your room after that.” Oh yeah, nothing at all eerie about that. No reason to suspect that something’s not quite right with Grandpa and Grandma. When I heard that quote, taken verbatim from the trailer from M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming horror […]
If you’ve seen videos of cosplay or the various ‘Cons’ the first thing you notice is that they feature all sorts of quirky, colorful (and often brilliant) costumes, which is why it’s understandable if you thought that that was what comic geek culture was all about (besides costumes and the–virtual–worship of certain movies and comic characters).

The picture on the left is from the Catacombs of Paris, which I took myself. If you haven’t seen them, they’re worth checking out. They’re also a bit on the morbid side, but as far as I am concerned were the primary motivator for me visiting Paris in the first place. I was so impressed that when […]
Part 1: It’s All About The Benjamins I imagine that M. Night Shyamalan, coming off the blockbuster success of 1999’s “The Sixth Sense,” thought that he literally ruled the world. That movie, on a $40 million budget, earned almost $673 million dollars. His followup, 2000’s “Unbreakable,” cost $75 million to produce, almost doubled the cost of […]
