Caesar Done Right

Once I saw this production of Julius Caesar starring Ralph Fiennes. Despite my deep hatred for Fiennes’ face, I thought the production was pretty cool. I had never seen Shakespeare done so big live. It was put on in a giant theatre in London called the Barbican that held over 100 cast members on stage [...]

Month of Terror: Zombie

Today I watched a zombie fight a shark…and now I know that there is nothing cooler than a zombie fighting a shark.

The movie, Zombie (aka: Zombie 2), stars Mia Farrow’s (identical?) sister Tisa. It has PLENTY of boobies, a jagged sharp BOARD to the EYE, hundreds of head wounds, and A SHARK V. ZOMBIE SMACKDOWN!!!
I’m [...]

you know this is frog week
so invaders from mars (1986) is a remake of invaders from mars (1953) but there’s this great et (1982) scene early in the movie.  david goes to school to slice up frogs but ends up getting sliced himself.  “i hope you need a tetanus shot,” is his teachers reply.  like [...]

12 Hours of Horror

This started off as an idea to do 24 hours of hour. Yes, you’re right, that would have been badass, but Scott and I both realized that with my fascination with the genre and these past two Octobers of 31 Days of Horror, we’re quickly running out of decent movies to watch. That’s not to [...]

Month of Terror Update

This has been my favorite month. Probably of all time. The weather is nice, the leaves are changing, haunted houses are beckoning, my costume is almost ready (the bees that killed Thomas J.), and – most importantly of all – the movies have been totally fucking awesome. You can check out Scott’s blog for more [...]

a new geometry
last friday, i attended a lecture by the guy who stole the moon rocks from nasa and tried to sell them on the black market.  during his five-plus years in prison, he invented a new theoretical frame-work for understanding both space and the space between space using an eleven dimensional reference points.
this is [...]

Month of Terror: Splinter

I’ve seen my fair share of B-horror films. In fact, I might say there is nothing I like better than a good B-horror film. And Splinter was a pretty good one.
It has everything a good indie horror movie should have: hott babe(s), escaped convict(s), confined spaces, icky-blood-spattering villian/entity, and amputation. The story is simple: girl [...]

Month of Terror: The Fly

It’s back! Thank God for October. I was on a George Cukor kick, and with all that charming banter, those adorable outcomes, and those encouraging representations of gender, I was getting pretty blood-thirsty.
So, to recap: the rules of the game are simple. Scott and I watch at least one horror film every day in the [...]
