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 →

Slasher flicks thrived in the 1980s but a couple years into the 1990s the horror genre was in a noticeable decline. A screenwriter named Kevin Williamson decided that he wanted the final word on the slasher subgenre. He wrote a screenplay that was simultaneously a parody of and loving tribute to classic flicks like Halloween … Continue reading →

The Help (2011) – Film trailers are problematic. Sometimes they seriously undersell a movie. I thought Fight Club looked asinine but it was amazing. Sometimes the trailers are put together better than the movie itself. Look up the trailer for the bizarre clusterfuck Southland Tales and tell me it doesn’t look awesome? Sometimes the trailer tries … Continue reading →

The Last Exorcism (2010) – So the whole “found footage” gimmick really should be played out by now, but as it happens enough new innovative movies employing it keep coming out. I had all but written off the Paranormal Activity movies but when I actually saw them I rather enjoyed them. I like The Last … Continue reading →

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) — In theaters I was just stoked that someone actually made Freddy Krueger scary again. He’s been such a joke-driven comic character for so long people forget that in the original film he was creepy as all hell. Jackie Earle Haley definitely brought that back to the character. No … Continue reading →

New Girl – “Pilot” Okay, Zooey Deschanel is simply adorable. That’s the main reason I tuned in to the pilot of New Girl. That’s the main reason I’ll be tuning in again next week. I just love her and her giant anime eyes. When film actors choose to do TV there can be a variety … Continue reading →
