This movie is one of those ones that you kind of have to go down a rabbit hole to find. Last year, there weas an action film called “Sisu” that came out. It was set in Finland during the WWII era and featured Jorma Tommila as the titular character in the film. It was a wonderfully violent escapade into a ferocious elimination of some especially heinous Nazi forces. it was …
First and foremost, as this is a brand new movie I feel obligated to put a spoiler warning right up front. I’ll tell you right now that I have no idea what all I’m going to put down in my review of this one and I’m going to do my best to stay away from spoilers as best I can because it’s such a new movie. But it literally just …
I think one of the things that is helping to guide me through these 31 days is retrospective. It’s not the only factor but so far through this first week I feel like it’s been a big one. I don’t mean necessarily that it’s a bad thing either. Not that the notion of retrospective in general has a negative connotation. But I think even as I’m mentally unpacking the idea …
Right off the bat I have to confess that I had to purposefully put at least a few days between this movie and “Shocker”. Not because I thought they’d be the same movie but this film harkens back to that same style of cover box nostalgia I had for the Craven vehicle from a few days ago. I’m sure the electrified-esque shock of the the man on the artwork for …
One of the things about this undertaking is the timing to both watch a horror movie every day and then dedicate the time to do my little write up about it. I’m naturally a night owl and I’ve spent decades cannibalizing sleep for all manner of nonsense so most nights it’s not terribly difficult to select a movie, watch it, and then spend some time detailing my thoughts on the …
Back at it again. It’s the first Friday in October and I’m coming off the relative high from yesterday’s flick. I wanted to stick with something modern before I started going back through some of the other older fare that I marked off on my list. Once upon a time I had a practice of picking up discs from the Red Box that they sold for cheap. Most of the …
Today I wanted to be a little more intentional with trying to ensure I had something a little more modern and a different kind of scary. I wanted something that would build some real tension and not just throw jump scares at me or be a full on hot mess like my first two outings at this venture. So I went through my list of movies I had picked out …
Here we are, back again. We’re really doing this aren’t we? Well good. October is moving right along and that means more horror movies. Shocker is one of those movies that taunted me as a child in the video stores. It’s vibrant art of a man being electrocuted against a black backdrop was very eye catching for a lad in the Super Star Video store perusing the horror section after …
So here we are and it’s somehow October once again. I’m not going to get too wistful but I am particularly fond of this time of year. The temperature starts to cool again and my favorite article of clothing comes off the closet shelf, the hoodie. It’s time for the pumpkin spice menagerie to re-emerge like a confident groundhog in February and take over every product it can get it’s …
(PS: I’ve decided to start naming all our episodes as though Wes Anderson were cataloging them) I know we’ve been a bit sporadic lately, boys and girls. Apologies all around. There’s a myriad of things we could suggest that stood in the way but the reality is we do this for fun so we do it when we can. And believe me, childrens, this was a fun episode. We had …
