Before you go getting all excited for Silver Shamrocks Halloween masks, that’s not the season of the witch that I’m talking about. This is from 2011 and it’s an action horror movie with the one and only Nicolas Cage. Last year I watched Cage in Arcadian and here he is again. Heck, I’m pretty sure we did Willy’s Wonderland in the last couple of years on the podcast. So Nicolas …
If I had to pick a reason that this was today’s selection, it’s runtime. Yeah, I think that might be the only reason this one made the cut. It’s got all the hallmarks of something just commercial enough to be annoyingly haunted. The thumbnail has the classic image of a terrifying mask intended on enticing you all the way to pressing play on this flick. It’s nearly tangible desperation. This …
I know I’m writing these in quick succession but I’d like to pretend like a full day has passed from the last review to this review. Because then it seems like my enamored state with this one is a much greater leap. Against “The Woman in the Yard” I’d probably call “Garbage Pail Kids” a tour de force in filmmaking. So I really do want to stress right off the …
I feel like I should be starting several of these reviews based on recent movies off with the notation that I was very much aware of the movie and had no intention of seeing it but watched it for this purpose only. I hate to give away the secret so early in my review but this movie was not great. But it’s not great to me. I will say that …
The hard part of playing catch up in writing these reviews is especially poignant in a situation like this. Last night we watched Zoopocalypse which I was happy to say nice things about. It was a fun movie that my kids enjoyed and it worked out well. Tonight we found ourselves in a similar position. After making a homemade pizza and our take on a Pizza Hut 2010’s dessert option …
Well tonight was another family movie night. This might be one of the bigger challenges of this whole thing. It mostly boils down to finding something I can watch with my kids that I’ve not seen. There’s plenty of great family films that are Halloween centric that are widely available this time of year. The only problem is I’ve pretty much seen everything worth watching. So now we’re having to …
I’m going to be up front and let you know that I’m beyond embarrassed that I’m writing about this movie today. Because it means I watched this movie today. While I think everyone should watch this movie, at the same time no one should ever watch this movie. I only stumbled on this movie by accident. I realized I didn’t look at Vudu for what they offered in their free …
Today’s pick comes courtesy of a YouTube video I watched the other day about Halloween anthology movies. I don’t have a tremendous amount of expertise in the subgenre but the ones I have seen, I will say that I am a big fan of in general. I don’t tend to stray too far from the big name ones like Creepshow or Tales from the Darkside. I will say that I’ve …
Ok, so I know I kicked off my Deborah Logan review the other day by saying how much I’m not a fan of the subgenre known as found footage. I’m owning that. And technically, this one wasn’t even on my initial list either. But upon seeing the trailer, I was sold instantly on this movie. It’s one of the few horror comedies I saw out there that looked like it …
Before things go too off the rails here, I’m grandfathering this one in because I needed something to watch with my kids. Now, my brain is a funny place to be sometimes. It just latches on to something and runs in a particular direction. The other night I was watching “The Life of Chuck” which I had recently received on disc. I quite enjoyed it from beginning to end. I …
