Running out of Gas
I’m a fan of the television show Seinfeld. I may be dating myself, but I remember watching it every week with the family in front of one of those big, boxy televisions that doubled as a knickknack holder. There’s one scene that I’ve always loved, and I can recall it perfectly. It’s the episode where […]

Film Review of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
The end of the first phase of the Multiverse Saga is wrapping up. With the exception of the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special, Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is at an end. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that we’re done with the constant deluge of MCU content. […]

Review of Dark Glasses (2022)
This Italian film, directed by the legendary Dario Argento, feels like two different films loosely tied together by a Jack the Ripper type of murderer. This film, set in Rome, follows prostitute Diana (played by Llenia Pastorelli) as she makes her way in life. At the same time, there’s a guy that’s going around […]

Writing Every Day: An Author’s Struggle
It’s November and that means four things are for sure: 1. Mariah Carey wakes from her eternal slumber to ravage the radio waves for exactly 61 days about what her demands are for the Christmas season. 2. Everyone must follow the archaic tradition of traveling back in time for exactly one hour even though we […]

Day #31: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Every Halloween I always watch George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. With the 31 Days of Horror Challenge, I didn’t deviate from this tradition. Night of the Living Dead is my favorite film of all time for a lot of different reasons. I wanted to end the month of horror movies with this […]

Day #30: Prey for the Devil (2022)
It’s Halloween and because it’s that time of year, movie theaters are playing all the spooky and scary films they can get their hands on. I have to admit, 2022 has been a good year for Horror movies. Barbarian, Fresh, The Black Phone, Deadstream, Smile, X, The Last Rite… all were really good. Now it’s […]
Day #28: Hellhole (2022)
So, I thought that when I selected this film, it was going to be set somewhere in Michigan. I guess I shouldn’t judge a movie by its name. For Day 29, I chose the Polish film Hellhole directed by Bartosz M. Kowalski. It’s set somewhere in Poland in the year 1987. A police officer […]

Day 28: Antlers (2021)
A friend was telling me about this movie about a wendigo attacking a family and then the family has to deal with the consequences. However, Home Alone wasn’t available to stream so I had to settle for Antlers (2021). It had a similar plot so I don’t think y’all will mind. Set in an isolated […]
You Might be a Horror Fan if…
With just a couple days left until Halloween, one has to wonder: Am I Horror Fan? Most people, probably the sane ones, will think no, they are not horror fans. Now, I don’t want to insult all the insane people out there with that statement. There are a few reasons for that, with the first […]

Day 27: Virus:32 (2022)
I love zombie flicks. I absolutely love them. I’m unsure why it took me 27 days before I actually watched one this month. You know, come to think of it, I should’ve waited 28 days before watching one. It would’ve been hilarious. If we’re nitpicking things, Virus:32 isn’t a zombie flick. Not really. It’s like […]
