Last week I made my weekly stop by Big Lots, and found the original Cape Fear, as well as a double feature of The Boogeyman (1980) and Return Of The Boogeyman. The Boogeyman is a great little Halloween knock off that has a creepy atmosphere as well as an eerie score. It’s just a great … Continue reading
(Mild Spoilers below folks) Wow. After finally seeing Drag Me to Hell last week all I can say is Wow. Wait, that’s not exactly true. As I recall as the movie advanced from about the forty minute point an insatiable desire to stand up and scream FUCK YEAH!!! clawed at my consciousness for the remainder … Continue reading

Holy smokes. The new album by Los Angeles group SILVERSUN PICKUPS, appropriately titled SWOON is fan-fucking-tastic. There’s been a lot of good music coming out recently but this, well, Swoon was the first thing to dislodge the Grand Duchy album from my cd player in two weeks, and once in I’ve found it hard to … Continue reading
