It’s funny revisiting technologically-focused science-fiction features because they either unintentionally predict future events or look woefully out-of-date. Demon Seed does both, prophesying a world where everything in our homes is … Continue Reading Demon Seed (1977)
You might call this cheating, but this review ran already. It originally ran as part of my Halloween films, so if you missed it the first time here it is. … Continue Reading The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
I’ve been planning on renaming my Hall of Fame for a while. It’s not that it doesn’t accurately describe what I’m trying to do, but I wanted to personalize it … Continue Reading The Veronicas: November 2012
With the mad rush of Halloween I’m behind on putting out my TCM Top Twelve for November. Thankfully, I only had to drop one movie that’s already run. The twelve … Continue Reading The TCM Top Twelve for November
Halloween has come and gone and we’re back on our weekend schedule; starting with a return to the Disney Vault! We last left Disney at Bambi (although I did post … Continue Reading Saludos Amigos (1942)
It was beyond ambitious of me to review 31 films in 31 days but I persevered and only dropped two films from the rotation, and this review was only two days behind … Continue Reading Trick ‘r Treat (2007)

Fiend Without a Face is cheese at its finest. The plot is meandering and ridiculous but boy is the final minutes of it hilarious! If anything I recommend watching the … Continue Reading Fiend Without a Face (1958)
Today’s film is the first of two films that were recommended to me during my call for horror film submissions. Thanks to Nick Jobe, blogger at the fantastically named Random … Continue Reading Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
Still a day behind and this was the film I’d originally scheduled for a few days ago before the schedule went all over the place. The Omen does get us … Continue Reading The Omen (1976)
Fido is a fun little comedy that slipped under the radar when it came out back in 2006. I loved it when I finally saw it on DVD but haven’t … Continue Reading Fido (2006)
Going newer with today’s film and I will say that opinions for this film is an alienating one. People generally love it or hate it. I love The House of … Continue Reading The House of the Devil (2009)
I always feel bad not enjoying a movie that’s generally loved, or at least admired for something; such is the case with Dario Argento‘s Suspiria. I’ve seen Suspiria … Continue Reading Suspiria (1977)
