Catfish

This is the trailer for Catfish. Note that it uses some pretty creepy music in the back half, with reviews that praise its thrilling nature, particularly the ending. Here is the poster for the same movie. Note the horrific black-on-red color scheme, with that enigmatic tagline: “Don’t tell anyone what it is.” Indeed, most reviews … Continue reading

Rene Recommends: The Toolbox Murders

That cover reminds me of when horror movies actually had really awesome poster art that just screamed “WATCH THIS MOVIE!” Even if the movie didn’t live up to the poster, at least they were creative in making it. Thankfully, the 1978 film, The Toolbox Murders lives up to the poster art. I know that’s the … Continue reading

Things I Watched Today: DeepStar Six

I didn’t watch this today, but a movie such as the one I just watched needed a little while to digest.  Yes, I watched that movie about people in the ocean that accidentally unleash a monster and have to kill it before it kills them.  It’s the one that was released in 1989.  Not that … Continue reading

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

I was looking forward to Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, especially after seeing its prequel. The original Wall Street didn’t exactly blow my socks off, but I appreciated the great acting and the straightforward narrative wrapped in commentary about 1980s economics. Oliver Stone clearly had a lot to say about insider trading and financial maneuverings … Continue reading

The Tempest (Trailer)

I love Shakespeare’s work. Who doesn’t? His use of the English language remains unparalleled so many centuries later and his stories continue to stir the imagination to this day. The tragic King Lear, the corrupt Macbeth, the mad Hamlet and even those young fools Romeo and Juliet are all dear to me, though I much … Continue reading

Neaux Way Possible- Bandslam

Bandslam is the type of 80’s feelgood battle of the bands movie that somehow made its way into theaters last year 2009. It was probably riding on the success of American Idol, School of Rock and Disney movies Camp Rock and High School Musical. Yet, this movie is so much better than the early teen … Continue reading

GASH WEDNESDAY #55: That Black Stuff

I never thought I’d be a coffee snob. I avoided the stuff until this past year or so, opting instead for hot chocolate or chai tea and similar hot drinks with a spice. I don’t need my Starbucks/expresso/latte… (insert “coffee” term) fix ever. I’m just not one of those people. I was turned off by … Continue reading
