Ah, The Taste of Eating One’s Own Words – Trailerism: Evil Dead Remake Edition

Well, I’ll be damned. The Red Band bump for Evil Dead has hit the net, and my expectations hit the deck. This may well be enough to take back all the snotty things I said about Diablo Cody permanently. See? This and the upcoming Maniac reboot may finally prove that remakes don’t have to suck. [...]

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 [...]

Simply Awesome: The Art of Tim Willis

tumblr_mavdyyAZip1qhnpuso1_400

At some point  around the time vacuum that was Thanksgiving/Black Friday, I received a message from one Tim Willis. He had included some artwork that pulled me out of my tryptophan induced glutton-coma and my mind was blown. If you aren’t familiar with vector artwork, google it and behold the insane amount of this legion [...]

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 2

Sept-Web-Site-Image

I never adjusted to the time change. A creature of habit and natural symptom of the night, I despise mornings. It should have been no surprise I’d oversleep, much as I have every day for the last seven years. I write this in fact, coming from a fever induced slumber. If it picks back up, [...]

Awesomesauce in your Mailbox – Brad McGinty Prints

I think I’ve mentioned that I’m really into rad artwork from time to time. Film in itself is an artform, and it’s no surprise that the whole cycle kind of inspires itself. Not only do I try to feature awesome filmmakers, but actors, composer, artists, anyone who helps to keep the cycle of excellent films [...]

Analog Hellions: V/H/S Records the Terror

VHS Poster

The abomination of criticism that is Cinemaglob and my maniacal obsession to see films no one else has is borne from a lifetime spent with a dense lineup of highly diverse movies on almost constant rotation. It begins at the end of the VHS era. Once upon a time, my family had a four channel [...]

Basking in Positive Darkness with 1,2,3, Whiteout – The End of the Light Age

1b76cba75bafaecae9a4d5d623a7f292

Since receiving 1,2,3, Whiteout I’ve watched this picture many, many times. I’ve struggled to get to the heart of the film and while that created a delay in analysis, Whiteout is a very thought provoking movie that I didn’t feel comfortable with discussing until I could make sense of it. I’ve come to the consensus [...]
