The other night I went to see My Bloody Valentine in 3D. If you had asked me what I was doing Friday night the day before this option would not have even entered into my mind. Honestly though, I’m glad I went. I had no intention of seeing this flick. I’ve essentially been in a … Continue reading
What’ll I do when youAre far awayAnd I am blueWhat’ll I do… Dear George, And so it has come to be. As you get ready to spend your final full morning in the White House I thought that I’d share some thoughts with you as our last precious hours dwindle. Eight years. It’s been eight … Continue reading
I try to watch at least one movie a day if there’s any way I can make the time. Keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be. So in the last fourteen days, I’ve watched almost that many movies. A good chunk of those movies are leftovers from 2008, and … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I posted here, but I just had to tell you about something that happened to be over the holidays. First of all, I shouldn’t have been surprised when the gentleman called me a faggot. I didn’t stare at him like that. I didn’t cock my hip and adopt that half-melted … Continue reading

So I’m watching Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, and I’m reminded that the film was almost entirely shot in my hometown of Tucson, AZ. When I moved to Minnesota seven years ago I told myself I’d never look back at that dry, hot, and basically dead landscape, or that dirty, boring city ever again. … Continue reading
Vampires suck. Literally, figuratively, and slurpily. Speaking Swedish does not exempt you from this rule, film villain. If you’re a vampire, get out of my movie cause you’re boring the shit out of me and my high maintenance horror audience. Back when I gave a fuck, I interviewed some vampires to get a bead on … Continue reading
… Big is an unlikely pleasure of mine. I don’t say a guilty pleasure because I feel no guilt over liking his music. Biggie was the last big rapper who did anything that I liked on any kind of a consistent basis, and honestly, even though I detest Puffy and all the others from his … Continue reading
As a child growing up, my love for all things horror derived from the fact that I wasn’t supposed to watch them. Of course, all children want what they can’t have; which is why, every so often, I would venture down to the television room in the early hours of the morning to watch classic … Continue reading
I usually don’t stick links to DVDActive in my blog, but I’m still chippin’ away at my Blu-ray pile (someone has to watch Disaster Movie in hi-def), and this article took a lot of effort. Please read and offer your feedback. Thanks. I’ll be back. Gabe’s 2008 DVD Awards
