I love intelligent horror movies and wish there were more of them. But you know what? I love the dumb ones too. Maybe more. I have no intellectual defense of it, I just like it. I don’t like them “ironically.” I don’t even know what that means really. I am simply entertained. And for big … Continue reading →

Footloose (2011) – Okay, I know I frequently talk about the 80s like it’s the greatest period of history ever and that every movie made in that decade is a classic worthy of your reverence and adoration, so it might come as a bit of a surprise that I consider the 1984 Kevin Bacon dance … Continue reading →

Hollow Man (2000) – So I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that about seven years ago I was in a production of The House of Blue Leaves at Sacramento City College.

X-Men: First Class (2011) – This article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com on 3 June 2011 As I believe I’ve mentioned several times before, I am a geek. I may not be as hardcore as some (you should meet my friend Joe), but I like superheroes and science fiction and all that awesome stuff. Of … Continue reading →
