Stuff I Like

31 Days of Terror: Patient Zero

9 March 2010

Jonathan Maberry’s Marvel Comics event Doomwar won me over so hard that I wanted to check out one of his novels.  I opted for Patient Zero, the first Joe Ledger book (the second, The Dragon Factory, comes out this month), a military thriller about a zombie outbreak.
There is a part of me that enjoys the [...]

31 Days of Terror: The 2010 Oscar Horror Montage

8 March 2010

In order to pad its already voluminous runtime and find an excuse to trot out Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart in a shameless act of pandering to the devoted Twihard audience, The Academy Awards featured an incredibly half-assed and unsubtle montage of horror movie moments that ranged from iconic (the shower scene from Psycho) to [...]

5 Implausible Plots For Sex and the City 2

8 March 2010

1. When Big is in Thailand closing an important deal somehow related to his nebulous yet lucrative job, Carrie and Charlotte are detained in a Thai prison for violating several laws related to footwear.  Miranda is forced to fly to their friends’ aid, while Samantha keeps trying to find scenarios in which she can be [...]

31 Days of Terror – The Crazies (2010)

5 March 2010

The Crazies is going to get completely overlooked, and it’s a damn shame.  Though not as charismatic and revivifying as Dawn of the Dead 2k4, the remake of George Romero’s 1973 faux-zombie obscurity is entertaining, scary and hits the same thematic notes as the original, albeit with a little bit less impact as a sacrifice [...]

31 Days Of Terror – The House of the Devil

4 March 2010

Ti West is starting to make a name for himself as a purveyor of retro horror.  I really didn’t like The Roost, but I know it’s got a following.  I get it.  I mean, I like The Woods.
The House of the Devil, though, is something different.  Its limited theatrical run started at roughly the same [...]

This Too Shall Pass

3 March 2010

OK Go has built its following entirely on video promotion.  The ‘treadmill video’ for “Here It Goes Again” has something like 50 million views on YouTube and won the band a Grammy.  But video is dead, right?  MTV and VH1 barely play them, don’t they? For good or for ill, the music is the important [...]

31 Days of Terror – The Wolfman

1 March 2010

Throughout the month of March, Jeff will be posting about one horror movie that he’s seen recently each day.  Odds are he won’t keep to this grueling schedule, but it’s nice to have the illusion of structure.  It’s like a theme week times four.  It’s 31 Days of Terror.
Joe Johnston is a maddening director.  He’s [...]

Elsewhere

25 February 2010

Ana and Thea, The Book Smugglers, are clearly being blackmailed by me.  Why? Because I’m guest posting on their blog again, this time reviewing a steamy romance novel that I didn’t actually hate.
Oh, and The Utopian, the most emo webcomic written by a grown-ass man, has a plethora of real-world guest appearances in its latest [...]

Lost 6.5: “The Lighthouse”

24 February 2010

You know what I love about a good Jack-centric episode of LOST?
“Is it that you hate Jack so much that you revel in any opportunity to see him damage his own life and the lives of others, especially when he and his myriad dysfunctions are the prime focus?”
Yes, Imaginary Reader I’m Having A Fake Conversation [...]
