January Movie Preview: A Haunted Resolution
The ball is dropped, the Christmas trees are down (or it will be soon if you are procrastinating like me). So let’s get into a new year of movies. A number of the movies that will be in the award show conversations will be expanding this month. But in terms of the wide release titles,…
October Movie Preview: Popcorn and Pumpkins
Every year when fall comes around, and Halloween is approaching, I have a certain image in my mind of how the October movie list should look. Horror flicks, fun animated spookiness or essentially the collected works of Tim Burton. Inevitably that doesn’t happen. But all things considered, this year’s October movies are a pretty festive bunch….
Hypothesis: “Return to Horror High”-a good ol’ fashioned Janitor’s revenge tale!
Oh ho, I’ve done it this time. I’ve really stumbled onto something great, I can tell. “Return to Horror High” looks like the kind of cheese that comes compressed in a can, and friends? I am here for it. The trailer suggests that someone bought a mask from a dollar store-the plain, white kind that…
September Movie Preview: Short but Spooky
Apparently it’s a golden age for creepy clowns. The “clown prince of crime,” Joker, is released next month. This month, however, sees Pennywise pick on someone his own size. Well they’re adults at least. Also has there ever been a better head-to-head cinematic match-up than Downton Abbey and Rambo: Last Blood? Surely that says something…
Conclusion: ‘Hell Night’ Or “Just Because Linda Blair Is in It, Doesn’t Mean It’s Good”
Before we enter the shaming portion of our program, let’s all remember – and fondly -that I did guarantee that Linda Blair would be the final girl of Hell Night. Call it a spoiler if you must, friends, for a 39 year old movie (were you REALLY going to watch it?) but since my victories…
Hypothesis v. 2.0 – ‘Hell Night’ or ‘Halloween’ for Beginners
I made a mistake. Mea culpa and all that, and I’m ready to own it. I forgot that the unfortunate impact of the “side” aspect of “side hustle” is that sometimes things bustle in and you get off track. This, dear friends, was never my intention, but the summer reached chaotic heights, and time just…
August Movie Preview: Ride the Heat Wave
Last month’s list of releases had me thinking Hollywood was going for a quality over quantity approach to their movies. Well forget that because there are 15 August movies hitting the big screens and most of them aren’t going to force the public out to an opening day screening. But since Dwayne “Biggest Movie Star…
Hypothesis: ‘The Transfiguration’ – Why Must I Be a Vampire in Love?
Far be it for me to challenge the wisdom of old and trite clichés. Surely, if we have been told not to judge a book by its cover, then judge it by its cover we should not. But guys. The Transfiguration, a movie I selected based solely on its poster, looks really good. Who knows,…
