31 Days of Horror Day 6: May

    Yesterday’s pick was Pieces.  Today we’ll roll with May: a movie that borrows a bit from Pieces. Pieces is about a man who hates women but loves puzzles (maybe?).  May is about an outsider who wants to find someone like her.  Or, at the very least, she wants a place to belong.  Guys […]

31 Days of Horror Day 5: Pieces

You guys love Pieces?  If you don’t, I’m not sure if we can be friends anymore.  It’s a nasty, brutal little movie with terrible acting and dialogue, and one of the worst tennis pros you could ever see. But its terribleness works in its favor.  It’s stupid enough to make me laugh on a consistent […]

31 Days of Horror Day 3: The Orphanage

It has been grey and dreary all day today.  Enough of this comedy.  Let’s get to the spooky stuff. This isn’t an out-and-out scary movie, but it has such an amazing atmosphere to it.  There’s an overwhelming feeling of dread throughout the entire film, and there are some really creepy moments.  On a day like […]

31 Days of Horror Day 2: Ghostbusters

I swear not all of my picks will be mid-to-late 80s horror comedy.  But it’s still early in October.  It’s still a little warm outside.  We have to ease into Halloween season. Like The Burbs, this is another film from that era that holds up remarkably well.  It’s still really funny, and there are some […]

The Strain S1E12, “Last Rites”

It’s been a rough week, and your old pal Dusty hasn’t had much of a chance to write.  With that in mind, let’s skip over the unwieldy intro and get straight to my loves and hates. Hates: 1. The stuff with Setrakian’s wife felt really forced.  There wasn’t a ton of emotion, even though I […]

The Strain S1E11, “The Third Rail”

The season is winding down.  While the show has gotten better, it’s still maddeningly inconsistent.  There are some great scenes – and there have even been some truly great episodes – but there are too many moments of drama driven by the stupidity of the main characters.  This episode had a little bit of each […]

The Strain S1E10, “Loved Ones”

Do you remember the end of “For Services Rendered” when the pack of vampire hunters showed up?  I sure do.  I rubbed my hands together and proclaimed, “Here we go,” to no one in particular, because my life is a non-stop party.  I love that storyline in the books, and I was excited to see […]

Infected Freaks Volume One: Family First book review

Review of “Infected Freaks Volume One: Family First” Review by Joy Yehle I’m not going to lie, I love The Walking Dead, but I hate the long breaks between the short seasons. I’ve been searching for something to fill the void and I think I may have finally found it. I picked up “Infected Freaks […]
