Film Review: “The Divide”


Monday, January 23rd, 2012

The DivideYou know when you hear about the theme of a movie and you get all excited for it? Then the director is announced for the project and it makes it that much better, then the actors begin to attach to it and it becomes one of your “must see” movies of the coming season?

That was “The Divide” for me. (more…)

The Best, The Pretty Good, and The Disappointing of 2011 Horror Movies List


Monday, January 9th, 2012

Attack the Block, #1

Attack the Block, #1

Now that we’re safely almost ten days into 2012, I’m ready to make a Best Of list. I figured what would be the point back in December if the second the calendar went to 2012, fascists kicked down our doors and stole our computers and demons came out of hell and we all went into detainment centers as we started the long trek towards the end of days. Since none of that happened and we’re still around to read lists like this, I guess I’ll make a list. (more…)

The Worst Home Invasion Movie Ever


Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Nicolas Cage in Trespass. I bet he handpicked that outfit.

Nicolas Cage in Trespass. I bet he handpicked that outfit.

Ever since I heard about Nicolas Cage’s real life home invasion (he woke up in the middle of the night to find a naked man in a leather jacket holding a Fudgsicle standing in his bedroom), I’ve wanted to see Trespass. In fact, I was shocked that this anecdote that he dropped at TIFF, while promoting the movie, was the first I’d heard about it. I mean jesus christ, it combines two of my favorite things of all time. Nicolas Cage and home invasion movies. How had Trespass slipped under my radar?

And then how did it just show up on Netflix instant watch with zero fanfare? I thought my Facebook news feed was full of Cage devotees but I didn’t hear BOO about Trespass until a friend told me about it in person, the old fashioned way. I was like, “No WAY this thing is on Netflix and I didn’t know about it.” But it was, and I watched it last night and it was so disappointing that I decided to blog for the first time in months.

Aaron Stoquert: Run For Your Life!


Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

Aaron_040211_0204Aaron Stoquert has written the perfect Zombie soundtrack. If you like Nick Cave and Tom Waits haunting style this will be right up your alley. As I write this the lyrics “Think of us as the world dies” flow like blood out of my Bose ear buds. I highly recommend purchasing anything Aaron has to offer to support his sheer understanding of mood and aural texture.

If you do not see Aaron’s name in the credits of an HBO series soon something’s wrong with the world…

Listen to what he has to offer here

“The Walking Dead” Review (Episode 1, Season 1)


Thursday, November 4th, 2010

"Days Gone By" Pilot

"Days Gone By" Pilot

After having a few days to digest AMC’s new horror television show, “The Walking Dead,” I think I’ve come to a few satisfactory conclusions.

As both a horror and comic fan, my allegiances were already well in place coming into the prospect: I was really hoping it’d be good. That said, my growing distaste for zombies (despite their unquenchable taste for me) tempered my enthusiasm. That on top of the fact that, while Robert Kirkman is, in my mind, truly a great comic writer (”Invincible” is one of the best superhero comics PERIOD), the series “The Walking Dead” lost me awhile back. This was due to no lack of skill in the writing or art nor a failure in concept; but rather a growing distaste and queasiness for what the comic represented. (more…)

‘Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil’ Review


Sunday, October 10th, 2010

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil PosterDirected by Eli Craig
Starring: Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Katrina Bowden

I heard about this movie about 5-6 months ago and decided right then and there that I needed to see it ASAP. And I got the chance last week at J. Cannibal’s TerrorThon here in Boston. They worked directly with the producers to acquire a copy of the yet-to-be-distributed film for the festival. A simple overview of the storyline is all you need: Two Hillbillies (Labine and Tudyk) are accused of being killers by college kids camping near the duo’s cabin.

Simple enough. But doesn’t really draw you in on that, right? Well, the catch of it is the old “Three’s Company” routine. Remember when Jack and Chrissy were in the bathroom hanging the shower curtain in the tub, and Mr. Furley was outside the door listening. And all he heard was Chrissy saying “Get it up,” and Jack saying “I’m trying, but I just don’t think it is going to fit.” And Mr Furley was thinking that Jack and Chrissy were getting all down in it. Well “Tucker & Dale” is an ENTIRE movie of those kinds of misunderstanding and trust me, it NEVER got old. (more…)
