“May God reward your bravery.” 2025’s The Long Walk, based upon the 1979 Stephen King novel of the same name, isn’t a bad film. It isn’t that good, either. Its premise is somewhat convoluted. A group of fifty boys, one from each state, is selected to participate in a walk that starts somewhere near theContinue reading “The Long Walk (2025)”

The Snow Demon (2026)
“Last year, winter brought him…..” Written by C.M. Wright and directed by Dominic Nutter, The Snow Demon (2026)is an above average creature feature that embraces practical effects, but falls short with its story.

“I am drunk, or you are dead.” Whether you call it Stranger From Venus, The Venusian, or Immediate Disaster, this pleasantly reserved 1954 science fiction drama is an extremely well done film with a direct message that resembles the same message from 1951’s The Day The Earth Stood Still. It features a small but exceptionalContinue reading “Classic Cinema: Stranger From Venus (1954)”
