I was extremely bored one night several months ago and was looking for something to watch on Tubi and ran across Cooties. I had never seen it or heard much about it so I decided to give it a shot and thought that it might be a fun little brainless …

The Samurai and the Prisoner is a sweeping modern epic that will remind you of films like Seven Samurai and other great samurai films from that time period. Directed beautifully by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the film makes you feel completely immersed in the time period of Japan in 1578. From the …

Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s was the best time to be a kid in my opinion. We had our share of cartoons, TGIF, video games, arcades, toys, malls, and movies. It was a simple time for a lot of us, a fond memory of things we didn’t think …

I always love short films because they can pack a big story into just 8-10 minutes. I still watch a lot of them, and I could piece very few together while still enjoying them. Let’s face it, some films were designed to attract you through a 2-hour runtime for a …

I remember watching The Others for the first time. It was with my mother, who has an uncanny ability to guess the ending of everything we watch without many clues. I had an idea in my head of what was occurring throughout this dark, mysterious and unnerving film, yet thought …

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a movie that will always be in my heart. I still watch this film at least 20-30 times a year. It heals me, one big campy tale of an iconic killer with some humor and new characters. It’s more of a story with carnival tricks …

I have been in the punk rock scene for almost forty years. And I refuse to let that part of me go even in my middle age. There is something about the scene: you enter. And you get together with flying boots from stage divers and crowd killers in the …
