As many of you have already heard I had young parents, and they didn’t always make wise decisions on the movie choices for me as a kid. One of those unfortunate choices was allowing me to watch The Shining waaaay too soon. I remember not being able to brush my teeth as a five-year-old because …
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 …
I tried my best to ignore this movie; I tried to ignore the last one, but, it keeps coming back like gum on the bottom of my Louboutin, uh Steve Madden. Anyway, Douche Feldman is back and he has dragged Jamison Newlander from obscurity to continue the bastardization of what was once a promising franchise. …
There’s a rumor out there via BloodyDisgusting, by way of MovieHole that they are planning on remaking Deadly Friend in 3D. The original was the hottest ticket on HBO when I was a kid, because not only did it have a killer robot, but Mama Fratelli and she was a scary bitch. Plus there is …
I’m sooo over remakes, I really struggled with having this discussion. Really how long is this going to trudge on? We finally finished doing the Asian remakes, at least as I type this. Nevertheless, here we go, 1985’s Fright Night is getting to join all the other in the remake race. According to the internet …
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? Remember when the internet world went all flavors of nutters when that information came out about this remake. Guess what? They were WRONG! I …
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 …
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 …
We laughed, we cringed, we booed and we laughed some more, because it’s us. That’s we do. I always procrastinate with this list because I see dozens upon dozens of films each year and I’m always somewhat unmoved lately that is. I long for the days of Jason and Freddie. There are just no good …
Juan de los Muertos (original title) Directed by Alejandro Brugués 2012 How can a film go wrong when you include Sid Vicious crooning Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ on its soundtrack I ask you? Answer is you cannot. This film actually had my approval with its title, ‘Juan of the Dead’. Remember that cool little British film, …
