One of the best parts of having a Netflix account is that I can acquire nearly any movie on request for my movie nights with Dustin and Jess. This time, after having been unable to find the DVD at Hollywood videos, Jess asked me to see if I could get Feast, the horror […]

It’s a rare thing that I manage to get out to an actual theater for a movie these days. As expensive as such an excursion can be, I tend to be extremely picky about what I pay ticket prices for. But from the first time I saw a trailer for The Prestige, […]

I’ve long been a fan of the slasher flick. Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween… I’ve seen every one in those franchises. Many of them placed highly on the positive side of the Boll scale, to be sure, but most of them were fun, and some of them, notably the […]

I’ve enjoyed Guy Pearce in pretty much everything of his I’ve seen, so naturally when I found out he was in a movie involving cannibalism (cannibalism, by the way, automatically earns a movie -0.1 Bolls*), I needed to see it. Sadly, when Ravenous came out back in 1999. my entertainment budget was such […]

A big thanks to Jessika over at Middle Raged Punk for pointing this out…
Now, I tend to be fairly politically apathetic. I can work myself up into a lather over issues I think matter, but I’m not really much of an activist. I watch more than I act, and I don’t really watch […]

If you’ve ever been involved in role-playing games in any way ever, you simply must go read Twenty Sided. Among the many posts on the blog, Shamus is providing his readers with one of the funniest webcomics I have ever seen: The DM of the Rings. Picture this: you’re a DM with […]

Zombie Holocaust is an Italian zombie horror movie from 1980. It was straight formula, with terrible happenings in New York City (and Dustin assures me it’s almost always New York) leading a team of scientists to travel to the far corners of the earth, where they find zombies in the jungle. People die in […]

As a fan of Nick Cave’s musical work, I’d been looking forward to The Proposition ever since I first heard about it. I wasn’t able to catch it when, surprisingly enough for Oklahoma City, it managed to be shown at a local theater, so it went into the queue and was sent to me […]

Three… Extremes is three tales of Asian horrors by three masters of the genre, Fruit Chan, Chan-wook Park, and Takashi Miike. I was already far too familiar with Miike’s nightmarish work (there’s something fundamentally wrong with that man), and knew Park from Oldboy and others, so the fact I’d never heard of Chan didn’t […]

Doom rather sucked. This is most likely why I’d put off bothering with it until it was conveniently available rather than going after it myself. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve a soft spot for the Rock, and will try and watch pretty much anything he’s in. And I loved the game once upon a […]
