31 Days of Terror – Unpopular Opinions

31 March 2010

[I still contend that AVP:R is pretty okay, especially in comparison to its predecessor and some of the weaker entries in the Predator and Alien canons. So there.] If you look back through the archive here, you might notice that there’s no post about Alien Vs. Predator. As a gamer and horror enthusiast, it’s a [...]

I Started A Tumblr

30 March 2010

Because the cool kids are doing it. With a hat tip to the Bea Arthur, Mountains, Pizza meme, I present Francis Bacon Kevin Bacon Actual Bacon. Pray for me.

31 Days of Terror – Skeleton Man + Giveaway

30 March 2010

[I wrote two separate blog posts about the film Skeleton Man in my tenure as a blogger.  The first was what might now be called a liveblog of the first time I watched the movie, the second a more coherent analysis of the film that is truly the bestworst of made-for-SciFi television movies, Sharks In [...]

Five Implausible Plots For Final Fantasy XIII

29 March 2010

1. Ridiculously attired sociopaths run in a straight line and kill soldiers for 40 hours. These are the good guys. 2. A man who looks like Lionel Richie dressed as John Lennon – who has a tiny yellow bird living inside his afro – shoots a bunch of people and whines about his bad parenting [...]

Friday Cover Songs – Acafellas

26 March 2010

Just one for this week.  Idiot Glee is an a capella soul group from Kentucky, and based on what little I’ve heard of them, they’re a little alright.  Just listen to this cover of “Ain’t No Sunshine” and don’t get all goosebumpy. I dare you. Idiot Glee – Ain’t No Sunshine (Bill Withers cover)

31 Days of Terror: Popcorn

24 March 2010

I first saw Popcorn in high school, which was the perfect time to see it, really. I wasn’t all snobby and critical; I just enjoyed scary movies – especially the kitschy old ones that I’d see on WPIX on Saturday afternoons at my grandmother’s hosue. Popcorn is kind of bad and kind of lame, but [...]

31 Days of Terror – The Ring Saga

23 March 2010

[Jeff's mission to blog each day in March on the same topic has gotten handily derailed by the presence of Final Fantasy XIII in his household, but his stumble toward next week's finish line begins here.] It’s unpopular opinion time: I love the American version of The Ring. I’ve never been of the mindset that [...]

5 Implausible Plots – Date Night

23 March 2010

Trapped in a stagnant marriage, Clara and Phil steal the identities of a con man and his wife and are plunged into a zany escapade fraught with twists, turns and – just maybe – the rekindling of the spark that once brought them together. That’s one way it could have happened.  But what about…. 1. [...]

Friday Cover Songs

19 March 2010

Let’s play a variation on the game I played with Glen Phillips and Chris Thile a while back. Laura Marling – Roll Away Your Stone (Mumford and Sons cover) Mumford and Sons – Cousins (Vampire Weekend cover) Vampire Weekend – Have I The Right? (The Honeycombs cover) If I had more stamina, I’d have opted [...]

31 Days of Terror – Snakes On A Train

16 March 2010

Journey back in time to 2007 with this long and rambling post about a terrible, cheaply-made Snakes On A Plane cash-in. God bless The Asylum. When it comes to low-budget horror movies that are intentionally similar – at least in title and concept – to tentpole theatrical releases, they’re basically the best there is, which [...]
