Snowpiercer mini review

Bong Joo-ho’s Snowpiercer – based on a French graphic novel – has some not-so-subtle things to say about class warfare, but that’s an article to be written by someone much smarter than me.  An attempt to reverse the effects of global warming have backfired, leaving the sole survivors of Earth to circle the frozen globe […]

Renfield’s Re-Collections part 7 (Revenge of the Gothbilly)

Well it looks like I have to watch what I say and do because halfway around the world someone will get pissed and send me a cease and desist note, (not to mention that they will tattle to the social media giant that they found you on – insert spooky wiggling fingers here). I won’t go into […]

Penny Dreadful S1E8, “Grand Guignol”

And now it’s time to say goodbye to Penny Dreadful.  I came into this season with high hopes, and I’m happy to say that it has surpassed those raised expectations.  It wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty close.  It looked fantastic, and the cast was tremendous.
