Chuck Fest 2018

Lake Charles, LA My original plans were to attend ArtsFest in Lake Charles over the weekend, but due to a few derailments, I ended up not being able to attend that event. Instead, I managed to make it out to Chuck Fest for a few hours on Saturday evening. For those of you unaware, ChuckContinue reading “Chuck Fest 2018”

Throwback Thursday: Comic Book Men (2012)

Red Bank, NJ Today’s Throwback Thursday post is very special. Why? Because I’m pretty sure that this is the “youngest” Throwback that I’ve ever posted and because I just so happened to meet one of the stars of this particular series over the weekend (and completely forgot to mention meeting him in my previous post). Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Comic Book Men (2012)”

Gulf Coast Fan Fest 2018!

Biloxi, MS The beautiful Mississippi Coast Convention Center was home to Gulf Coast Fan Fest over the past weekend in Biloxi, MS. I attended both days of the event and I had a really great time.

Throwback Thursday: Halloween (1978)

Forty Years Ago It’s hard to believe that it has been forty years since John Carpenter’s Halloween was released. While it wasn’t the first slasher film (many argue that 1912’s The Lunatics deserves that title), it was definitely the film that blazed the trail for future slasher franchises such as Friday The 13th, A NightmareContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Halloween (1978)”

Throwback Thursday : The Fantastic Four (1994)

Something Fantastic! Early in my college years, I would often shrink away from people for a few hours and walk over to the local K&B Drugstore (sadly, long gone) and look through their selection of magazines and comics. Once in awhile I would read an article about rumors surrounding a potential X-Men film or otherContinue reading “Throwback Thursday : The Fantastic Four (1994)”

It’s October, Ghoulies!

Busy, Busy, Busy! Last year I tried and failed to watch and review thirty-one horror films in thirty-one days in celebration of Halloween. This year I’m very happy to have an excuse to not do that this year. Why? Because I’m going to be busy having way too much fun. I have something planned forContinue reading “It’s October, Ghoulies!”

Throwback Thursday: The Goonies (1985)

They Are Good Enough 1985 will go down in history as one of my favorite years. The NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) was test marketed in the United States, eventually leading to a countrywide roll out early in 1986. Artists such as Duran Duran, Madonna, The Cure, and Bruce Springsteen had huge hits on pop radio. TransformersContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Goonies (1985)”
