Keeping the Faith: The Book of Dallas

MV5BMTU2NzY0MzI2MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzMxMzY0OA@@._V1._SY317_

What is Television for the most part but serialized cinema? Well…at its worst, a vehicle for shallow capitalism, in that most shows are simply extended commercials. The only reference needed for that is to look back at our experiences with Saturday morning cartoons and the endless figures and childhood ephemera we goaded our weary parents [...]

Everything Right Is Wrong Again: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D

PHpuyWeueC5Osy_1_m

It’s like Leatherface has onset diabetes in the first stages of alzheimer’s…scratch that. If there was a movie that encapsulated the feeling of Hunter S. Thompson’s heartfelt speech about the waves crashing back, as he ruminated the demise of what should’ve been one of history’s great epochal moments, this is it. Get me the hell [...]

Gamerglob: Splatterhouse (2010)

Splatterhouse

Ok, so I’ve been toying with the idea of throwing a few curveballs around here at the old Glob, simply due to the fact that every once in a while I get around to enjoying something that isn’t a film, but IS related to Cinema, and wouldn’t be to out of place here. We’re going [...]

The Day the Radness Died – Killer Schoolgirls from Outer Space

ron_jeremy

Good God please don’t take this personally. This movie has stirred up quite a calamity here, and not for any of the right reasons. Maybe I’m a movie snob, maybe I’m not – I tried to pull up my prepubescent, snot-nosed movie brat for the proper perspective from which to review this film – my [...]

Hate List: December (or “A One Sided Diatribe Against My Conscience”)

tumblr_lpli3ssBjp1qft9mpo1_400

Somehow I’m posting a Hate List before the month is over. Some small miracle on my part has kept the one regular feature I manage to keep on schedule (somewhat), rolling before the month’s actually over with! Perhaps it’s the massive amount of snow that’s hit – it keeps one focused. Unfortunately, I really hate [...]

I Am Not A Hero: Manborg

ManborgPic1

Hellbots. Katana blades. War. Cyberpunk-dystopia-supreme. Demonic first impressions going down like lead balloons. One hero must rise from the ashes of humanity, forged in the retro-futuristic technology of 198X to save us from the foulest evil of the darkest depths of hell and banal, idiotic mainstream entertainment. Welcome to Manborg, the newest addition to the [...]

Holiday Hell: Father’s Day

Fathers-Day-Poster-3

I’ve been away trying to purchase a home and learning to juggle more responsibilities than I ever thought I’d be capable of. The review list is getting longer and longer, but meanwhile the film world marcheth onward. We’ll get caught up soon, but right now we’re gonna be kind and rewind to last Summer before [...]

Phantasmagoric Body Horror Like No OTHER

419092_285726721500204_1258477915_n

To preface Daniel DelPurgatorio’s Other, a short film in the Body Horror sub-genre, is no easy task. Much like Klagger, The Second Self, and a lot of short films covered here there is a lot of creativity and density packed into a short time frame. Also like the other shorts we’ve had the pleasure of [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Aftermath

Sept-Web-Site-Image

I was on time for once, but it was still Sunday Bloody Sunday as far as I was concerned. I arrived at the hotel hoping to wrap up loose ends and finally put a definition to the weekend and summarize the point. There weren’t as many people around today – and due to the massive [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Agony and The Ecstasy, Part 3

Sept-Web-Site-Image

There’s a thread that has run through my life that’s almost Dickensian in its humor. It really was the best of times and worst of times, and usually within minutes of each other – for every epoch there’s a serious dirge mere moments away. I don’t believe in astrology – as Mr. Mojo Rising once [...]
