Last night one of the cable channels was playing Candyman and I actually watched it for the first time in what has to be at least a decade. Tony Todd is still a scary mofo! I remembered Candyman was the movie I saw on my first date. Awww…anyway I’m lame and an old hag. I …

‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’ Teaser – Not so sure about Suri’s Momma
Oh, shit did I type that aloud? Is Tom Cruise still sue crazy? Because if that’s the case I apologize ahead of time, because Suri is amazing! Oh, wait Katie’s in the movie. And I know it’s an old joke, but it’s been a long day, so suck it! Anyhow, this one is from the …
‘The Wolfman’ – Final One Sheet
Hate to say, I don’t like it. Emily looks congested, Benicio and Anthony look like they are trying to figure out how they got in the picture. I’ve liked most of the posters for the film, but this one equals a big fat fail to me. Whatcha thinking?
3D, 3D! Gremlins 3 Might be in 3D! For Joy!

Directed by Nicolás López (2013) There’s something happening at the moment in horror films where we, the viewer’s, are made to dislike all the characters in the opening scenes, which means you sit waiting for them to die one by one. I’m not opposed to that at all; after all it is a horror film. …

‘Evil Dead (2013)’ Review – Earns its R! Darkly Fun.
Directed by Fede Alvarez (2013) No Ash? Wait, they are remaking Evil Dead, without Bruce Campbell? What? That’s crazy talk. That will never work. The Ash character is now a girl?

Bates Motel – Three Episodes In So Far, So Odd
After a much needed break, I have returned from my walkabout. Walkabout, that spontaneous journey through the wilderness of one’s choosing in an effort to satisfy one’s itchy feet, a need to be elsewhere, the craving for the open road, that space over the horizon… You guessed it I walked about the shoes stores across …

‘MAMA’ (Review) – Mama is mad folks!
Directed by Andrés Muschietti 2013 I’ll just say this right off, I’m a big fan of Guillermo del Toro, so I came into Mama with bias. Technically this film was not directed by Guillermo, but by Andrés Muschietti, who actually co-wrote and directed a Spanish short by the same name in 2008. However, when you …
