Back in 2012, I compiled a ranking of all the Halloween films minus the Rob Zombie installments. With Michael Myers now slashing up the box office once again, I thought it’d be a great time to reconsider the list and re-rank the films with a fresh pair of eyeballs. I have since rewatched the entire…
Deciding to recon almost an entire franchise is a risky move, but that’s exactly what Blumhouse Productions did when it greenlit a brand new installment of a 40 year old series: Halloween. The stars seemed to align for Blumhouse: an able director was on board (Stronger‘s David Gordon Green) and helping Green with the script…
This post contains spoilers for the AHS episode “Return to Murder House.” “I’m Constance Langdon and this…is my fucking house.” Jessica Lange, aka the Queen of American Horror Story, has returned and holy hell did she deliver the goods. We last left Madison Montgomery and Behold Chablis as they headed to the ol’ Murder House to gain…
Karyn Kusama’s upcoming crime-thriller Destroyer looks extreme. If you’ve seen the director’s 2015 film, The Invitation, that probably comes as no surprise. Per the movie’s synopsis, “LAPD detective Erin Bell (Nicole Kidman), as a young cop, was placed undercover with a gang in the California desert with tragic results. When the leader of that gang re-emerges many years later,…
In the process of taking notes for this post, I wrote down the following quote spoken by one of Halloween: Resurrection‘s main characters: “Trick or treat…motherfucker!” If that’s not enough to make you go hmmmm, you should know that line is spoken by none other than Busta Rhymes. Because Halloween: Resurrection is trash. It’s not all…
[Ed. Note – Check out this guest post by Andrew Noles from Your Best Halloween Ever! Every Tuesday is BOOzeday on his site, but check it out for Halloween crafts, food items, playlists, and more.] Ah, the margarita. If I’m being honest, margaritas aren’t usually my drink of choice (tequila and I have never gotten along),…
As if Amy Winehouse hasn’t been exploited enough throughout her life, a hologram of the British soul singer is set to tour seven years after her death. A partnership between Base Hologram and Winehouse’s estate is to thank for this monstrosity. The company will produce a concert tour to “celebrate” the singer’s legacy. Winehouse passed away from…
*This post contains spoilers from this week’s AHS: Apocalypse episode “Boy Wonder.” “Have we learned nothing from Atilla the Hun? Herod the Great? Mark Zuckerberg?!” I’m telling you, Myrtle Snow gets all the best lines. We’re going to dive into the tricky gender politics creeping into American Horror Story, but first—sick, Zuckerburn, right!? In the episode’s…
A Star Is Born (aka the movie where Lady Gaga shows she can actually act) lives up to its promise. A star was born. Though Gaga’s Ally, an unknown singer-songwriter, does step out of the shadows and come into her own, it’s first-time director Bradley Cooper who’s reborn and raised to new heights. Grand-slamming a directorial…
The Pet Sematary teaser trailer is here, giving us a glimpse at Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch‘s (Starry Eyes) take on the Stephen King classic. From this two-minute smattering of clips, it seems the directors have created a unique visual tone, both separating itself from the original 1989 film and remaining true to the source material. Watch…
