COVER STORY · 31 DAYS OF HORROROCTOBER 26, 2026
You're abducting my guy all wrong...
OCTOBER 26, 2026
Christopher Walken is no stranger to the horror genre. The Dead Zone is one of my favorite films of his in this category. But he pretty much made the entire Prophecy franchise as well as other films like Sleepy Hollow what they are. He has such a presence that can easily be haunting if the role calls for it that it takes a regular movie and elevates it. I've been a Walken fan for the longest time. I happened upon this flick through someone doing a review of some recent physical media purchases and was grateful to find it resting int he Prime Video catalog presently. I flagged it last night for viewing this evening and I'm quite happy I did. So let's get into it.

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.
