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 …
This contains big time spoilers. If you haven’t watched the episode, I am advising you turn back now. Save yourself.** Let me just say this will be quick because I’m still sick so my snark and clever is on the fritz. But, I’m taking a break from this pestiferous coughing to chime in about last …
This contains big time spoilers. If you haven’t watched the episode, I am advising you turn back now. Save yourself.** Welcome back fight fans! It’s literally been eight months since we’ve spoken. How’s the spouse? How are the kids? How is that new job working out for you? Me, I’m good. Moving to California has …
First you should know that this review is coming from a Deist, a back sliding Baptist, a confused Catholic — in other words I bring my doubts into this film which puts it at a serious and unfair disadvantage. However, there were some good moments in The Rite and for the most part the story …

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 …

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?
