Rest in peace New Line Cinema — My most favorite movie distribution and production company of all time. If you’re like me, seeing that beautiful logo before a great movie is simply nostalgic. I say rest in peace, not because the company is actually gone (because it isn’t), but because it has been fully absorbed …
Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes have come under a lot of criticism lately for (in the opinions of many fans) butchering many beloved franchises and brands. I’m not going to jump on any bandwagons, either for or against Michael Bay, Platinum Dunes, Brad Fuller, or Andrew Form. I’m simply going to go over some of …
Something to listen to while you read: SPOILER ALERT — If you have not seen the entire series (1978 – 1990), including the three follow-up movies of the original, you’ve been warned. Want to Pick Up and Watch the Entire Saga Before Reading this Article? Here’s What You Need (in order): The Incredible Hulk: The …
Manhunter is far and above, my most favorite film of all time, favorite soundtrack, introduced me to my favorite band Shriekback, and one of my favorite directors Michael Mann. Clearly, I was heavily, heavily influenced and impacted by this film as much as one can be by any artistic medium. Most people don’t realize that …
Blade Runner is definitely in my top 5 or 10 favorite films of all time. I’m honestly surprised to keep learning that upon original theatrical release, the film was a complete flop, both commercially and critically. Though, perhaps I’m not really that surprised because I see a trend in that the best films that are …
Of the thousands upon thousands of movies I’ve seen, I would not hesitate to label Flowers in the Attic to be by far, the saddest. Between the cinematography, soundtrack, acting, and of course the story, is captured what I think, the best fictional depiction of human suffering ever created (fictional of course, meaning not movies …
Just got done listening to this Halloween mix. Very eclectic in a good way. As the name would suggest, there is indeed a very strong From Dusk Till Dawn tone to it. Styles and influences consist of Quentin Tarantino, Spanish, jazz, rockabilly, oldies, and retro Halloween songs to name a few. All and all, a …
I love Henry Hall. One of my all time favorites. But, what I truly love is Val Rosing‘s (birth name) voice. His stage name had become Gilbert Russell (and later legally), though I find that pretty silly as Val Rosing is a beautiful name, which is also, I’d think, very marketable. In the ’20s, ’30s, …
Combining two of my most favorite things on earth, Halloween and Universal Studios, comes: Halloween Horror Nights. Just about the only reason I’d want to live in California. Otherwise it’s too hot and the people… I’ve been wanting to go for years. It’s no surprise that a movie studio and theme park are going to …
Winner “Lawn Ornaments” was the costume that won this year. Congrats! This is Halloween Love’s inaugural Halloween costume contest. It wasn’t as big of a turnout as I had hoped, but fun nevertheless. It was a bit bumpy and there were some learning curves that I’ll keep in mind for next year. I’ll keep the …
