Review: Bastard Out of Carolina (1996)
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008Last night I took the opportunity to watch a movie I’d heard about over the years. Bastard Out of Carolina (1996) is the story of the relationship between Ruth Anne ‘Bone’ Boatwright (Jena Malone - The United States of Leland 2003), her mother Anney Boatwright (Jennifer Jason Leigh - Georgia 1995) and her stepfather Glen [...]
Review: Motel Hell (1980)
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008If you love cheese-ball horror you just might like Motel Hell (1980). Starring Rory Calhoun (“The Texan” 15 episodes, 1958-1960) and Nancy Parsons (Steel Magnolias 1989), it’s about siblings who manage to combine their two family businesses. A motel and a smoked meat factory. It’s a fun watch at 2 in the morning, but the [...]
Review: Blind Horizon (2003)
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Shot and left for dead how does a man stop a presidential assignation when he can’t even remember his own name? That’s the journey we take with Val Kilmer (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 2005) in Blind Horizon (2003). A psychological thriller that had me asking “what the fuck?” the first time I saw it five [...]
Review: Blonde (2001)
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Poppy Montgomery (“Without a Trace” 137 episodes, 2002-2008) is quite convincing as Marilyn Monroe in the made for TV miniseries Blonde (2001). Directed by Joyce Chopra (Murder in a Small Town 1999), scripted by Joyce Eliason (Elvis and Me 1988) and based on the book by Joyce Carol Oates (Frequent contributor to “Playboy” magazine) this [...]
Preview: The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
Friday, July 25th, 2008When I was 17 I read my first Clive Barker short story and instantly became a lifelong fan. That story was the midnight meat train, and for some reason it scared the shit outta me like no written word had ever done before. Now some 20+ years later the story (with what seems to be [...]
Review: The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)
Friday, July 25th, 2008Believe it or not, but even with an irrational fear of aliens, I’m still a big x-files fan. So there was no way I was missing the midnight premiere of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) tonight. It’s been five years sense we said goodbye to them on the small screen. Now Fox Mulder [...]
Preview: Watchmen (2009)
Friday, July 18th, 2008After 20 years of development Zack Snyder (300 2006) finally brings the watchmen graphic novels to the big screen. Previously directors such as Terry Gilliam (Brazil 1985) declared the material “unfilmable”. But I think Snyder’s got the right idea in stating that “in order to be true to the source when adapting a graphic novel [...]
Preview: Burn After Reading (2008)
Friday, July 18th, 2008The Coen brothers (No Country for Old Men 2007) are at it again and doing it as only the Coen brothers can, with a huge all star cast. This time it’s a comedy about found CIA secrets, and the silly things people will do to hide them. Starring are, get ready, Brad Pitt (Oscar nominee [...]
Review: the dark knight (2008)
Friday, July 18th, 2008I braved the mad crowds at midnight under a full moon to be one of the first to see The Dark Knight (2008) in action. And I wasn’t disappointed. With a 152 minute run time you’d think it’d seem long; and though I saw a dozen fine spots for it to end, I was thrilled [...]
movies + personal shit
Saturday, July 12th, 2008I have to admit that this week depression has been kicking my butt. My sleeping schedule has been all shot to hell, and I’m not looking forward to my measly four hour shift at work tomorrow later today; it’s just not fun anymore. I keep blaming my new pills and pms, hoping that this mood [...]

Happy birthday to one of my favorite Scots
Saturday, May 17th, 2008Who am I kidding? I love them all. Anyway, Craig Ferguson turns 46 today. Best known as Nigel Wick from “The Drew Carey Show” and for hosting “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, Ferguson has also made appearances on the big screen in such movies as Lemony Snicket’s A Series of [...]
My favorite bad guy
Friday, May 16th, 2008Los Angeles born actor Danny Trejo turns 64 today. You may not recognize the name, but there is no mistaking that face or the large tattoo of the sombrero wearing lady across his chest. Trejo has made almost 100 appearances in movies and on television in the last eight years alone. [...]
preview: the dark knight (2008)
Monday, December 17th, 2007I swore I’d be one of the first to post this, and here it is… the first official trailer for The Dark Knight (aka Batman Begins 2 2008). I’m skipping the usual write-up on this one, cuz I’ve got to get to bed. Here’s the official website and the Harvey Dent campaign site. [...]
