This week the executors of the late King of Pop’s estate distributed $30 million to his mother and three children. This for some odd reason made me think of two things; why am I not a Jackson and how the video for Torture freaked me the hell out as a child. Don’t judge me I …
Oddly enough just yesterday one of my friends was asking me if I found it weird that she enjoyed Marilyn Manson. Of course I said no being that I own copies of Eat Me, Drink Me, Mechanical Animals and Smells Like Children, much to my co-workers dismay. But, I have long stopped following Mr. Manson, …
So, I finally finished reading The Girl with the Dragon . I’m slow. And I’m the progress of watching the Swedish version of the film based on the Stieg Larsson book. I’m also listening to a few moans and groans from people on how the upcoming American version of The Girl with the Dragon will …
I’m a huge fan of TV on the Radio and earlier this week the bands bassist, Gerald Smith, passed away. So in honor of him and the band today’s freak out belongs to them. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Dear Science. Enjoy!

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?
