Gallery

This gallery contains 14 photos.

Yes!  First Men in the Moon, to be factual and politically correct for the times, includes a woman too.  They just left her out of the title back in 1964–something they wouldn’t dare do 75 years years later, in 2021… Continue reading

Thoughts and Theories I Had While Watching Stephen King’s IT (2017)

Gallery

This gallery contains 1 photo.

With earplugs in hand, I went to watch Stephen King’s It (2017’s remake of the original 1990 cult classic – a fact that surprisingly a lot of people around me do not know!). I had been traumatized by the movie once when I was a child (not remembering much except for the creepy clown sneaking children into underground pipes)… Continue reading

The Dark Tapes

Gallery

This gallery contains 8 photos.

I always love a good found-footage horror film.  However, finding a good one is not so easy these days.  Since the first mainstream example in the genre–The Blair Witch Project in 1999–such a film with anything original and different to offer is about as easy as finding a new way to spell horror. Continue reading

The Scariest Movie Monster

Gallery

This gallery contains 13 photos.

I am often asked who I think is the “scariest” of movie monsters.  It’s a clichéd question, dragged through the blood of and gore of movie-loving minds the world over.  Sometimes the answer is impulsive and easy, as it should be; other times, with more thought and criteria, and the need to justify, it’s not so easy at all. Continue reading

Recently, on a weekend night at Walmart, in a one of those big, bargain movie bins (the one’s that have movies overflowing to the top, spilling onto the floor as you try to find the one you want), I found a bluray copy of 10 Cloverfield Lane. Continue reading

The Orbs

Gallery

This gallery contains 13 photos.

THE ORBS! What are they? Balls of floating, glowing lights, zipping in and out of sight, like an apparition, obvious but not to be seen! Where did they come from–the moon, outer space, or someplace farther away, perhaps the center of our universe? Or, maybe they come from… Continue reading

Oblivion

Gallery

“Earth is a memory worth fighting for,” but…

…is a clone memory as authentic as the original…and, is it worth fighting for?  Hmmm.  Before seeing Oblivion, I might have said that an original is better, somehow, without knowing how…exactly.  Why did I start this review with that question?  Probably because… Continue reading

PROMETHEUS: A New Classic

Gallery

This gallery contains 24 photos.

As Prometheus begins, we are moved, like a bird, through clouds, over a beautiful landscape—a terrain with rivers and mountains leveling off to geography that seems too familiar to be alien. The planet has everything to sustain life as we know it today on Earth—or so it seems.  Could it be Earth? Of course, it could. Is it for sure? We have no way of knowing…yet.

Yes, it’s another “It” movie! And it’s a welcome addition to the list of 50s sci-fi favorites!  “It” comes from outer space, even before the opening titles, as a bullet-shaped fireball, with sparks flying, on a crash course for Earth. Continue reading
