December 29th, 2016 | Posted in Literature, Movies

This month, author John Valeri gives us insight into pursuing that special someone, with hilarious results . . . The Woman of my Screams By John B. Valeri My wife and I have an agreement. Should the opportunity to get biblical with Neve Campbell arise, I’d get “a pass.” Admittedly, this is not very likely […]

Undead Drive-In a Success!

December 19th, 2012 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Movies

  I’m not particularly a fan of horror.  The ins and outs of the genre are not my forte.  And to be completely honest, it isn’t often I appreciate pieces of work that fall into the genre.   It’s not because I’m squeamish or I get scared of  the dark, it’s simply because there is […]

Men in Black 3 Review

June 19th, 2012 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

It’s rare for a film to find the right balance between science fiction and absolute fun. Seems like it happens once in a generation. In 1997, Men in Black showed audiences that fun mixed with science fiction can work on the big screen. Men in Black 3 continues that tradition.

Dark Shadows: What Did You Want It To Be?

May 31st, 2012 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

Two of our intrepid hosts went to see Dark Shadows, and (of course) had opposing views of the movie. We’re putting up both reviews and readers can decide for themselves who has the most convincing argument. Let me say this, Dark Shadows wasn’t a great movie, but it was good and in some spots very […]

Dark Shadows: It Just Doesn’t Go All the Way

May 31st, 2012 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

Two of our intrepid hosts went to see Dark Shadows, and (of course) had opposing views of the movie. We’re putting up both reviews and readers can decide for themselves who has the most convincing argument. I start this by saying I have seen EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of the original “Dark Shadows” television show – […]

Movies I Wish You Had Seen – Looker

May 15th, 2012 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

  Long before The Matrix, long before Avatar, a not-very-classic movie was made. It’s about a plastic surgeon  who touches up models searching for perfection, only to have them show up dead and yet somehow digitally imaged and still alive in the media. In 1981, the effects weren’t great, but being writing and direction by […]

Movies I Wish You had Seen – Robot Stories

January 3rd, 2012 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

When science fiction is at its best it has heart. Movies as diverse as Alien and Bladerunner share this quality, as do the best of the best from blockbusters to indie art-house features. This is the case with Robot Stories, a compilation of four short films with a unifying dual theme: robots and souls.

Movies I Wish You Had Seen – Dark City

December 6th, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

So, here is the problem. Most of you readers have probably seen this movie, but not in its true form. I happened to catch this move on TV and was disgusted by the way it was hacked, the inability to see half of it and the incredibly garbled audio. At that point I shut off […]

Movies I Wish You Had Seen – Repo Man

November 7th, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

Once upon a time there was an old man named Bud who repossessed cars with his young protégé, Otto. This movie is an all time lost classic smokescreen of a science fiction movie. It is an absolute chameleon movie, part coming of age, part moral tome on the society of 1984, part car chase, part […]
