As is usually the case with Penny Dreadful, I had a few questions that I was hoping would get answered in this final episode of the season: 1) Will we get to see Dorian’s painting? 2) Will the horrible murders from the beginning of the season be addressed/revisited? 3) What …

Frankenhooker (1990) – Why, Oh Why
The Husband is a smart man – probably one of the smartest men I know. Yet, for some reason, he has fond memories of this cheese fest! Now, that right there could be the reason. Frankenhooker (1990) is cheesy, early-90’s fun. Horrible special effects, bad acting, and yet we couldn’t …

In this household, we are zombie fans. I will say that I don’t necessarily watch zombie flicks and see them as political statements or testaments to the world at large… until now! I originally decided to watch The Returned (2013) for two reasons: 1) It’s a zombie movie which sounded …

Does Bigfoot exist? If you ask either of my sons, they’ll recount multiple stories they saw on Animal Planet, and tell me in details about the reenactments that PROVE Bigfoot is real. I thought my kids were going to learn about animals. I didn’t realize this would be one of …

I heard about Animal (2014) a few months ago as it seems people were surprised that Drew Barrymore’s Flower Films was attached to it as part of the production company. Can’t say I was surprised. Hello? Firestarter, Cat’s Eye, Scream. Doesn’t seem that this would be a big stretch for …

I’ll start by saying that, I don’t think this movie is for everyone. In fact, A Measure of the Sin (2013) might not be for a lot of people. I went into the viewing of this movie blind. I didn’t even read the synopsis. I wanted a fresh, open mind. …

About a month ago, I had the privilege to see an early cut for the film The Last Showing. The first trailer came out Saturday, and it definitely does the film justice. It’s a brilliant psychological film starring Emily Berrington, Finn Jones, and Robert Englund. Many readers may recognize Jones from Game of Thrones and Berrington …

So we’ve all seen those cheesy movie covers with just as bad accompanying titles right? Well, the movie Witching and Bitching directed by Álex de la Iglesia and written by Jorge Guerricaechevarría & Álex de la Iglesia just screams cheesy, dumb not worth my time movie. Let me be the …
