Before I get started on this allow me to proclaim my undying love for Eva Green. There. I said it.   1. -I was wrong – I mentioned last week that this is going to be a hit or miss show from episode to episode and if the quality keeps up, I’m going to look like a […]

Penny Dreadful S1E3, “Resurrection”

We start this episode with more Wordsworth.  There’s nothing quite like hearing quotes from “Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood” while watching a child find his dead dog, then have his mother cough up blood all over him.  Frankenstein’s devastating childhood gives us a window into why he loves the flowery language of […]

Are these the best horror movies of 1980 & 1981?

Were the 80’s the best decade for horror movies or am I just biased because that’s what I grew up on? Perhaps a little bit of both? Either way, I have taken a look back at the movies that this totally tubular decade brought us and picked out my personal favorites. These are listed in […]

Director: Luchina Fisher Writers: Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes Before I get started, I’d like to point out that Steven Barnes has writing credits for The Twilight Zone, The Real Ghostbusters, The Outer Limits, Stargate SG-1, Baywatch and Andromeda.  That’s a terrific collection of shows.

Godzilla

Monster movies are tricky in that the titular star is often a minor character, behind those that it affects. He is a plot point.  A puzzle to be solved. A villain to be conquered. They are often the center of the film, but they are unable to carry it. That duty in Godzilla falls on […]
