With It Follows being released on Blu Ray last week, have a mish-mash of unconnected thoughts. – It’s hard to ignore the obvious Halloween references throughout the film. All the wide shots from a steadicam. The calm, tree-lined suburban streets with more than a hint of evil lurking. The pulsing synth. The fact […]
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 […]
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 […]

We had no idea what to expect, but we knew James Marsters and Kristine Sutherland (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) would be there, and that was enough for […]
