Read more: Killer Klowns From Outer SpaceSomeone sent me Killer Klowns from Outer Space years ago; I think it was Steen or someone from the Roofless Forum. I’ve never bothered to watch this thing until tonight, and I’m glad I did. I didn’t realize that the great John Vernon was in this movie, reason enough to give this thing a spin…

Read more: Here We Go Again: A Look At Sequels: Part 4The Exorcist III (1990) The Exorcist was a profanity-soaked horror milestone. Its follow-up was smeared in locust shit and as amusingly bonkers as they come. However, Linda Blair wasn’t required for the second sequel, enabling its producers to try a new approach. Exorcist III is not a reboot (like the deliriously kooky Halloween III) but…

Read more: M3GAN“M3GAN” – So you think you can dance! As with Violent Night, I went into M3GAN expecting exactly what the movie ended up delivering – a doll committing murders. The difference between Violent Night and M3GAN is that Violent Night leaned all the way into its absurdity and premise, while M3GAN kept having second thoughts…

The Lighthouse

Read more: The LighthouseAfter virtually giving up on movies this year, I was thrilled with Parasite and even more so with The Lighthouse. There are no words to adequately describe how terrifyingly haunting and beautiful this movie was. This film will wreck you. It is David Lynch, only on steroids, and with some Kubrick and Lovecraft for good…

Read more: Bodies, Bodies, BodiesIt’s award consideration season, so here’s my consideration. Synopsis What a game of Among Us would look like if it was a feature-length film, but everyone playing was an asshole and some of them actually die. Writing There is a lot of talk that the movie satirizes Gen-Z, but I call bullshit. It satirizes spoiled…

Read more: The Not Quite #1: Wolfen (1981)To recommend a flick I usually have to give it seven out of ten. And yet the cinema is so vast there’s plenty of stuff rating 5.5 to 6.9 that’s certainly worth a watch. Guess you can call such movies interesting… almost. Or, er, not quite. For example, they might be built on a fantastic…

The Exorcist: Theatrical or Extended Cut?

Author:
Read more: The Exorcist: Theatrical or Extended Cut?Considering that he also made The French Connection and To Live and Die in LA before and since, quite why William Friedkin continued to appear at speaking engagements featuring The Exorcist, decades after the fact, is a matter of trivia that perplexed me without spurring a thirst for answers. I devoured the extras and featurettes,…

Read more: Nope“Nope” – Yep. The meteoric rise of Jordan Peele in the film world brings to mind the same rise that M. Night Shyamalan experienced. While Shyamlan’s directorial debut (Wide Awake) was an absolute bomb, his next three films (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs) were widely acclaimed and box office successes. Plus, The Sixth Sense…

Read more: The Blob (1958)When I was just a young punk, there was a lot less to do and think about than there is now, and in retrospect, that was a very good thing. My life consisted of mostly going to school, going to church every Sunday morning, evening, Wednesday afternoon and the dreaded Prayer Meeting on Wednesday night.…
