“Good luck. You’ll Need It!” Newlyweds (Buster Keaton and Sybil Seely) are gifted Lot 99, a Build-It-Yourself house, and a lot of chaos in 1920’s hilarious One Week. The silent short was Buster Keaton’s first independently released film and has a number of notable stunts and one rather racy scene that made censors of theContinue reading “Classic Cinema: One Week (1920)”

Wolvesbayne (2009)
“What’d you do to me?!?!?!?” It might be a TV movie released on the SyFy Channel, but 2009’s Wolvesbayne is actually a pretty decent flick. I recently watched it on Amazon Prime and I really enjoyed it. Sure, the CGI effects are a little bit hokey and the dialogue is rough at times, but there’sContinue reading “Wolvesbayne (2009)”
The Long Walk (2025)
“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)”
Rec (2007)
“I can’t slide down there with the camera.” Oh, but Pablo does manage to get down there with the camera, and upstairs backwards with the camera, and even gets chased by fast zombies with the camera in 2007’s much loved Rec, a Spanish found footage film starring Manuela Velasco, Pablo Rosso, and Ferran Terraza. AsContinue reading “Rec (2007)”
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. It stars Gina Smith, Belle Taylor, Francesca Weir, Jessie Vinning, and Ben Maddocks. It co-stars Renny Mendoza and Jenny Miller, with JamiykaContinue reading “The Snow Demon (2026)”
Cult Classic: Cutting Class (1989)
“No cutting class!” Brad Pitt becomes Suspect #1 in one of his earliest starring roles in 1989’s Cutting Class. The film also starred Jill Schoelen, Donovan Leitch, Brenda Lynn Klemme, and Dirk Blocker. The film also featured Roddy McDowall and Martin Mull in small roles, adding some star power to the production. The movie wasContinue reading “Cult Classic: Cutting Class (1989)”
Throwback Thursday: River’s Edge (1986)
“Did the sight of this dead girl move you in any particular way?” River’s Edge is a brutal film to watch. It’s blunt, emotional and emotionless at the same time, and will make you feel uneasy. That’s what makes this film so brilliant and weird. The 1986 film focuses on the aftermath of the murderContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: River’s Edge (1986)”
Imaginary (2024)
“Never ever.” 2024’s Imaginary, directed by Jeff Wadlow (who also co-wrote the film with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland), could have been a much better film, it just wore out its welcome. The movie stars DeWanda Wise as Jessica, a young stepmother who is trying to connect with her new stepdaughters, and reconnect with herContinue reading “Imaginary (2024)”
Return To Sleepaway Camp (2008)
“Why can’t they leave me alone?” Despite financial issues that went back nearly a decade and the occasional natural disaster, Return To Sleepaway Camp managed to be released direct to video in 2008. The film is a direct sequel to the cult classic Sleepaway Camp (1983). The film features the return of the original film’sContinue reading “Return To Sleepaway Camp (2008)”
Classic Cinema: The Giant Claw (1957)
“Oh, nothing so domestic as a flying saucer. Just a flying battleship.” Slammed by critics at the time, 1957’s The Giant Claw may have one of the goofiest looking monsters of all time, but I really enjoy this movie. Born in the Atomic Age of film, the movie gives us the story of a giantContinue reading “Classic Cinema: The Giant Claw (1957)”
