While I was putting my dirty clothes from the past month or so in the washing machines at my local laundromat (or laundermat, as some would have you believe), my mind started to wander. It might have been because of the whirring of the machines. Maybe the shuffling of little old ladies. Or the drowning … Continue reading
Ever see Roger Corman’s A Bucket of Blood? I just saw it myself after hearing about it for years, and really should have got to it sooner. It’s a comedic take on Mystery of the Wax Museum that stars character actor extroidinaire Dick Miller (Yep, Muray Futterman himself) in one of his few leading roles. … Continue reading
I work – for myself – from home. So I can watch movies in the morning if I darn well feel like it, and still be productive by the time 9 AM rolls around. So today – as I have to do a piece on robots for another site anyway – it was BICENTENNIAL MAN. … Continue reading
Warning: This is a long article. About a kid’s dreams, my own, being shattered. I know Vern from Aint It Cool would be sad for me. Enjoy! There was a time in my life that I liked crappy movies. I had a soft spot for films that starred the likes of Michael Dudikoff, Jean Claude … Continue reading

They’re from a site called hotghettomess.com, which aspires to convey a more positive image and message of Black Americans, frequently by showing us where … Continue reading
My friend John Carpenter (not THE John Carpenter) is making a 70’s style revenge exploitation flick called “Death is the Name of My Street”. I play Morgan, the hard as nails main chick. We filmed the trailer this weekend, in hopes of showing it to a potential investor to get the funds to make a … Continue reading

Thank you, thank you for the applause ladies and gentlemen. I’ve been asked to deliver a few words on behalf of somebody who graduated four years ago. Your gracious high school thought that I might have some important lessons to share with you on your special day. I had to think about it for awhile. … Continue reading
