Creepshow's little brother
OCTOBER 24, 2026 6 MIN READ
I do appreciate a good Halloween anthology and there are few better than Stephen King to helm one. I know he has an extensive library of incredibly long books of which many have been adapted into feature films already. But sometimes you just want a little dose of spooky instead of a full on fright. When that's the case, the vehicle of the anthology is a great way to achieve that through fun little vignettes of self contained frights in about 30 minutes or it's free. That's the beauty of a flick like this. The iconic Drew Barrymore with a tabby cat cover art has been calling to me since I was old enough to walk down the horror aisle at the video store. So it was finally time to bust this one out and see what those feline peepers have been trying to tell me for the last few decades.

The movie thoughts that need more than a letter grade.
A Whole Day in the Further
I need to try and make sure this doesn't sound like it's an Oompa Loompa song because that isn't my intention. Try and frame it accordingly. What do you get with a full Saturday with zero obligations and a well worn pattern of questionable decision making when it comes to movie marathons? Well that would be a speed run, of sorts, through the existing catalog of Insidious films 1-5.
the greatest parody movie of all time
Nobody knows parody and satire like Mel Brooks. Not the Wayans. Not the Zucker Bros.
Batman v Superman: Take Deux
Ok so as per usual I’m going sort of stream of consciousness here. Its not like this is a really formal venue for cinematic discussion as is. I may very well only be writing this for Ron and myself to read. But the exercise is still a valid one that I enjoy. I’m not sure what really prompted this. I know we were discussing Batmen the other day, and yes …
The Streaming Boonies
So maybe I’m a glutton for my own punishment tonight but this is a topic I’ve been meaning to write about for a little while now. I’ve actually started this topic once or twice but hadn’t seen it through to the end. Right now we are overwhelmed with streaming services and it seems like a new one pops up every other day. Sure, there’s the main stage performers like Netflix …
Trolls World Tour Worth the Price of Admission
This past weekend, whether you knew it or not, you were privy to a turning point in movie history. There’s probably been a number of different rites of passage that the cinematic industry has undergone in my lifetime but I’d hesitate to say all of them were as noteworthy as the digital rental release of “Trolls World Tour”. I know, it seems a bit silly to hype this up as …
One Matinee Ticket for Coronapocalypse, Please
So things are a just a smidgen nuttier than the cumulative total of all rejected goodies from a 3rd grade bake sale right now. Everybody is stuck inside. Celebrities are flooding social media with videos pining for our collective attention. Its a very weird and rare time to be alive. And amidst all the anxiety ridden, panic inducing, toilet paper hoarding fury we are finding a new way of life …
A Fond Farewell to Max Von Sydow
Hearing the news today that Max Von Sydow had passed was admittedly not a shock as he’s seemed relatively “up there” for a while now, though there’s always some element of surprise when a celebrity passes. Even at age 90, Sydow was still churning out films with his last project listed in post production status according to IMDb. A quick review shows that he has 163 credits as an actor …

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.

The Accountant
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 …

In Your Eyes
For every time that I hear “WHAT? You haven’t seen _______??” with something that is well known in the main stream world of movies, there’s all kinds of flicks that come my way through one means or another that aren’t on anyone’s radar. This is one of those movies that came my way via a very special friend of mine. I picked it up a while ago on that recommendation …
