You could almost say that Elizabeth Bennet and something called “Mr. Darcy” fooled around and fell in love. Also, there are zombies. So many zombies. My thoughts: I have never read Pride & Prejudice. I have […]

I’m a sucker for a typical horror movie told from a different perspective. Scream, Cabin in the Woods and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon are a few of the more popular movies in this genre, but The Final Girls tends to lean more towards Midnight Movie or Camp Daze (aka Camp Slaughter) […]

It Follows: Surviving The It
This post will contain spoilers. So, if you haven’t seen It Follows, you should probably go see it immediately, then come back for this. I’ve been thinking about this movie non-stop since I’ve seen it. One of the ideas I’ve been kicking around lately has been the best way to get rid of The It. […]
DARK SUMMER combines elements of films that have come before it but presents them in a way that gives us something new and completely original. Yes, this is a genre film but much like Paul Solet’s first film GRACE this is a shocking film that puts character and performance first.

You’ve handled my worst, so you’re now getting my best. Before I get to the list, here are some that just barely missed the cut (or maybe they didn’t, but I wanted to talk about them.) Snowpiercer Honestly, the only reason this one didn’t make the list is because I’m not sure if it qualifies […]
I, For One, Welcome Our New Robot Overlords OC Robotics has created what they’ve dubbed a snakebot. Its extreme flexibility and swappable heads make it ideal for working in recovery areas with lots of debris. Its staring robot eye and its undulating movements that resemble the creatures from The Abyss make it ideal for pranking […]
You’ve already been treated to Renfield & Shawn’s lists, so now it’s time to take a look at mine. Because I know you can’t get enough of these sweet, sweet lists. My plan was to combine my Best and Worst onto one list. But then I got to writing and it got a little too […]
Maybe it’s the whiskey talking. Maybe it’s the new Devilment CD that I’m jamming to but either way the ideas for this list are flowing. I think that I have made my choices rather evident throughout the year so this will most likely not be a shock to anyone. Please send any complaints to […]

Attractive Nuisance
The worn brickwork and exposed pipes adorning Legendary Comics and Coffee’s interior miraculously succeeded in making the long, narrow café feel homey instead of dank and dingy. The atmosphere was equal parts historical renovation and intentional steampunk design. This atmosphere was welcoming to the faithful customers who saw the shop more as a clubhouse than […]
