I’ve written about so many damn horror movies already that some people have asked me if I’m going to have enough to fill the list. Silly people, of course I am! I’m already bemoaning the films I had to leave out. Anyway, here is the next ten in my countdown. Read parts 1, 2,...

The Hateful Eight, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love Quentin Tarantino
I wish I knew how to quit you, Quentin. I mean Jesus, look at you. Back when I was in college, I flirted with the possibility of becoming a professional film critic. I started writing insipid movie reviews for the college newspaper and dreamt of a future in which I could be seen or heard...

A small, independent feature called Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice came out this weekend and despite raking in the dollars, it was unanimously panned by critics (read Huey’s take here). I saw the film yesterday and can’t say I disagree with them. It’s a long, torturous, gloomy slog completely lacking wit or coherence....

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was not entirely a bad movie. Like the nascent Superman, struggling with his own identity, and the weighty notion of morality vs. obligation, BVS doesn’t know what it wants to be. It is at times a promising display of cinematic capability, with luscious shots framed with considerable expertise,...

Last week saw Netflix drop the second season of a brilliant, critically acclaimed crime drama. Nope, not Daredevil. I’m talking about the outstanding Happy Valley. Adored by critics here and across the pond, the show has failed to catch on with American audiences the way programs like Broadchurch or The Fall have. If those...

Does it feel like 1984 in here? Well if not then it definitely feels like 1987. Can anyone wrap their heads around how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been able to make quite the explosive return to pop culture? I know that we now live in a rather regurgitive pop-culture society, where we’ve...

Welcome to Part 5 of my countdown of the 100 Greatest Horror Films! Read Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 here. We are almost to the top 50 folks! This section contains quite a few stories about the Devil. He’s green goo in one film, Robert DeNiro in other, a black goat in the...

Season two of Daredevil dropped onto Netflix yesterday and I watched all 13 episodes in a binge. To the show’s credit, the time flew by pretty damn quickly. I was a huge fan of season one, being most impressed by Marvel finally willing to go a little darker. The characters were compelling, the fights...
