Let me premise this rant by saying I chose to watch this on DVD because I knew there would be several scenes I would be unable to watch. Keep in mind this is coming from a chick who laughed heartily at The Human Centipede and was actually a little bored by Martyrs, I’m no wimp. …
I haven’t done one of these since June, so for that I apologize. This chick’s been busy sitting on my ass working. This one is not really that obscure, because it’s Peter Jackson. It’s just well obscure in its quality. Enjoy!
Now this is a remake I can get behind, I have some serious anger issues don’t I? This is an updated version of the 1979 cult classic. I have to admit to watching the original for the first time a few year’s back on suggestion from a friend. A male friend oddly enough. Afterwards I …
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 …

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, …
