It's occurred to me that reviews are plentiful, but guides on how to settle on a review are nearly nonexistent.  I've noticed that in the incredibly inane world of horror reviews, be it online, published or on TV or radio, finding credible or at least coherent reviews of my favorite genre is damn near impossible.  So I've taken it upon ( Read more... )

     Frequently does the question get asked "why are there so many bad movies around these days?" - and it's a fair question.  Why are there bad movies about?  Surely there were always bad movies, but why is that exactly?  Well, I'm sorry to say, but we're all to blame.
      You see, film making is first and foremost a business in North America, ( Read more... )

      So, I like to cut up a lot of the horror that's out there today, so I think I should at least have justification for doing so.
      I've been watching a lot of horror recently.  Okay, so I'm usually watching a lot of horror.  Specifically, I've been watching and thinking about a lot about remakes, in particular remakes post 2000, or new ( Read more... )

Just thought I would draw this up for everyone to see, since I'm apparantly the only one who's ever noticed.

You know what's really been irritating the snot out of me lately?  Global warming.  It really bugs me how far people will take this obsession!  I for one don't happen to even believe in the idea.

Allow me to clarify, since I've just stepped on a lot of toes.  Do I believe that the average temperature of the globe is on the rise?  Yes.  Do I believe ( Read more... )

I loved it.  It was sharp, it was witty, it was long, it was entertaining, Planet Terror was funny, Death Proof was full of adrenaline, and the bonus trailers were thoroughly entertaining, especially (even though it pains me greatly to admit it) Eli Roth's.
But that's not much of an objection is it?  My problem with the film lies not within the film ( Read more... )

Okay, so there's a lot to do about movie piracy these days. People are doin' it, and it's naughty and wrong, so the distributors are making appeals to the clearly guilty consciences of the pirates with commercials paralleling pirating a movie with stealing your neighbours car, or blowing up an orphanage or some such nonsense. Clearly pirates are ( Read more... )

So, apparently from what I've been told, the purpose of the flutter board is for the protection of the lifeguard (I'm thinking post modern cyber-punk shields. We should get a pool crest and decorate them all with the sigil.) I've been informed that when you become NLS certified, you lose the title of "Life Saver" and become a “Lifeguard” and thus ( Read more... )

Before I begin this, I just want to express my displeasure at the way I was treated at the April 1st, 2007 Campbell staff inservice.  I did not particularly find the conduct of (Na)Tasha particularly constructive.  More over, I found it to be quite to the contrary: belittling, insulting and finally, and shameful. I suppose I should also state that ( Read more... )
