This is quite the occasion here, let me tell you. I’ve been planning on this one since probably before I really decided to officially do this whole 31 days thing. Every other day has mostly been a crap shoot of what I’m going to watch. No real rhyme or reason to the planning of what I view on any particular day. Whatever strikes my fancy that evening is what makes …

Tonight I have to thank the good old Internet Movie Database for my free pass on this flick. They qualify this one as a horror movie. If I’m being honest it’s clearly leaning far more heavily on the action side of the film than the horror but I shouldn’t discount the efforts made to be both menacing and truly frightening at points in this film. Clearly this film is born …
Welcome back Becky fans. As promised I came back for round two tonight and I have to say I’m not disappointed at all. There may have been a moment here or there where I might have started to falter but the film didn’t let me down and by the end credits I was left wanting more once again. I have to say that coming off Cobweb into Becky and now …
One of the things I did at the beginning of this autumnal adventure was try and map out what the different streaming platforms had to offer. I know a few times, especially towards the beginning, I scrolled somewhat haplessly trying to find something that suited my fancy. Not every service had a great interface that can capitalize on their entire catalog in an easy to manage fashion. Prime Video sort …
My first exposure to this movie was just a couple weeks ago when I actually stumbled on a clip from this movie that turned out to be a bit of a spoiler. Over the years I’ve really kind of redefined whether or not spoilers completely take me out of a movie or not. This is one experience where I can categorically say that this did not hinder me one iota …
It was inevitable that I would find my way back to the dregs. This is one of those movies that’s made to be good but also made to be bad. At least that’s how I’m interpreting it. I’ve heard mention of this series a number of times in the avenues of the internet that I frequent. That’s what put it on my list of potential movies to watch as is. …
Now before anybody does the math here and realizes this was on the weekend I still had my boys, this was not one that I watched with them. We did still “camp out” but I did this one on more of a closed circuit. Lights were out and kids were asleep but I wasn’t going to entertain it on the big TV. I remember sneaking to watch “Misery” as a …
Well, had to get a little creative again with my boys in for the weekend. On Friday and Saturday nights the boys like to stay up and we have this affectionate term for crashing in the living room as “camping out”. Basically my youngest is going to probably fall asleep by 10:30 if we are watching a movie and he just lays down on the couch and falls asleep. He …
How fortuitous to have Friday the 13th in the middle of a Spooktacular! After a little break (even Cinemasters need a little recovery time here and there) the Rental King and that fella from the North are back at it with a franchise deep cut this time. Adam’s pick is Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter. As luck would have it, the boys were able to record this …
Coming off of day 18 I really wanted to ensure I didn’t just plummet off the high of such a great movie like Jacob’s Ladder back into something dismal like the swill I’d been consuming for the days leading up to that. So tonight I figured playing it somewhat safe with a John Carpenter classic would be the way to go. I should be up front because there are two …
