Thank the good lord himself you don’t live next to, on the same block, or anywhere in the vicinity of this dysfunctional family. Although, if you did, you might learn a thing or two, whether it’s how to successfully harbor a 35+ year grudge, or maintain a career as a second ...

I’ve been sitting on my response to Netflix’s Stranger Things for almost a month now. By now, you’ve probably seen – or at least started the 8 episodes that make up its first season. If you haven’t, shame on you. You are missing out on something very special. The ...

Perhaps it’s a little bit unfair to review a film that’s already quite adored by the public. On the one hand, anyone who has not seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind must be an anti-indie film sadist, or a detractor of the film’s essence due to it’s considerable hype. For me, ...

Mel Gibson sucks. Note that well. Sucks. At one point he didn't. Take note of the year on this movie - 1999. At one point, after Y2K scares were over, something inside of Mel Gibson's head went off Manchurian Candidate style and assassinated his own career. As far as acting that is ...

If it came out in the 1970s or 1980s and it has John Carpenter's name on it, I'm probably going to love it. While the horror genre has always been a big money maker, and a constant production line of memorable and non-memorable thrills, I feel the 1980s ...

During the 1990s, several once A-list actors took to the indie circuit. They lent their incredible star power to budding studios. These films were never going to be box office smashes. They'd have limited releases. But they were mostly quality films that hit on topics that ...

There's very few things Robert Shaw ever did wrong, in my opinion. With iconic roles in A Man for All Seasons, The Deep, The Sting, and of course Jaws, Shaw solidified himself as the go to guy for the perfect villain or anti-hero. His Red Grant is still revered as one of the best ...
