Hard to believe that it’s been five years…. While looking through some old posts, this one from December 20, 2020, the year that Hurricane Laura destroyed my family’s home, popped up in my search string. Although today is December 11, I decided to reblog this old post. Maybe it’s because I’m turning fifty next year,Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Hurricane Laura And Ninja Turtles”

Revenge Of The Slashers: Billy Chapman
“Punish!” Christmas hasn’t been the same since 1984. That’s the year that the highly controversial (for its time) Silent Night, Deadly Night was released in theaters. The film, released on the same day as the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, featured Robert Brian Wilson as Billy Chapman, a young man who, along with hisContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: Billy Chapman”
Violent Night (2022)
Decking the halls…..and the crooks! David Harbour pounds, punches, slashes, slices, and dices his way through director Tommy Wirkola’s Violent Night.

Treevenge (2008)
The Trees Strike Back With axes in hand, a team of Christmas tree farmers mow through a patch of trees. They burn some that aren’t worth keeping and ship the rest off to be wrapped up for Christmas tree retailers. What they don’t know is that the trees are tired of the sadistic tradition ofContinue reading “Treevenge (2008)”
A Different Christmas
2020 Has Not Been Kind Christmas is only a few days away. Normally I would be excited and well into a month full of classic Christmas films, newer Hallmark Christmas films (yes, I know, leave me alone), and purchasing a couple of cool new ornaments. Instead, my family and I are staying with my parentsContinue reading “A Different Christmas”

Focus On Christmas: Unaccompanied Minors (2006)
A Change Of Flight Plans Despite having a surprisingly solid cast and a decent plot, Unaccompanied Minors (2006) failed to take off with film goers. I personally enjoyed the film and happen to be one of the few people that actually saw it in the theater. My daughter tagged along with me and she enjoyedContinue reading “Focus On Christmas: Unaccompanied Minors (2006)”
