Last week I talked about how getting away from character-centric drama was the key for this show. Distract the audience with vampires so we don’t see just how poorly written this show is. “Gone Smooth” finally did that, and “It’s Not For Everyone” continued down that path. That’s not to say there weren’t problems with […]

Under the Skin mini review
Thoughts on Under the Skin, in three different stages: 1. During the movie. What is going on? She’s an alien, right? That’s what the description said. Is she going to be driving around in this van for the entire movie? Are those guys actually having sex with her and then getting destroyed, or are they […]
Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein hasn’t done much in the way of separating himself from the Misfits image-wise. Other than his second independent effort since his departure from Jerry, he still goes by his old moniker, still wears the same makeup and devillock, still plays the same wicked shaped guitar (yeah, I know he makes his […]

If there is one good thing to be said about being down with a broken neck, it is that I have plenty of down time to watch a few new videos and get a review in on the good ones. Luckily for me, one of these that showed up in the mail last week was […]

The Granny review
Review by Zena S. Dixon The Granny was directed by Luca Bercovici and released in 1995. With the title of the film, you should know what you’re getting into. The film opens to a medieval exorcism involving a father and daughter. As expected, death makes its appearance in this situation. The daughter quickly manages to wrap her legs around […]
