COVER STORY · 31 DAYS OF HORRORNOVEMBER 2, 2026
Do you like me or LIKE like me?
NOVEMBER 2, 2026
I finally broke down and put this one on. I wasn't necessarily avoiding it but I've often found a repelling nature of things that garner overt public opinion. I don't think it's to be intentionally contrary but I also wouldn't be so bold as to presume that doesn't play a part. Regardless, in the best interest of the 31 days and closing it out well I figured I'd tackle this one in the home stretch to see if it lived up to the hype. A few months ago I don't think you could go anywhere without hearing about somebody raving about Obsession. Every time I heard "You've gotta see it!" I just recoiled a little further. Well, we've crossed the threshold and now it's time to find out how it went.

The Accountant: A semi-comprehensive audit
Hey there Cinemaster fans, it’s your old pal Nighthawk aka Adam Peterson. It’s been a little while since I’ve labored over the written word when it comes to movies and I’d kind of like to get back into the habit of it all. I’d like to promise up front that I’ll do my best to be consistent in returning to this venue to reprise my thoughts regularly on the films …

FEATURED COUNTDOWN
the big one
I think most normal people don't get the type of anxiety I do when someone asks me what my favorite movie is. And I know if you're reading this you're nodding your head along with me, ""Yes Ron. We understand it's an insane question to ask a person who loves movies as much as WE do." I mean to put somebody on the spot like that, it's RIDICULOUS. My point is, if you see a guy walking your way wearing a t-shirt that reads "There is only one "Return" and it's not of the King" the polite thing to do would be to ask them, "Isn't Return of the Jedi amazing?" and they will embrace you like a brother. Here's a list of the top 10 movies I'm comfortable disclosing...on this day.
