HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I know it’s not Halloween yet, but it really is because all of October is spooky season for me, so we’re kicking off celebrations in the best possible way ever: Tim Burton. He is, for me, the father of all things spooky, and the reason that I started to look into more nontraditional […]
Hi all! Welcome to my first Top 10 post for this month. I thought we should start with horror films because they are the most iconic and recognised by all. If you’re new to horror, I would recommend my list below. Here are my ten favourite scary movies of all time. Let’s get into it! […]
My Top 10 Favourite Horror Movies…
MABEL AT THE WHEEL (still 1914!) marks an interesting, indeed key point in Chaplin’s career. He’d been at least somewhat quarrelsome with his directors up to this point. On this film, he simply refused to play a scene the way his director and lead actor Mabel Normand saw it, and production ground to a halt. […]

Double Feature: Diary of the Dead (2007) & Survival of the Dead (2009)
As I have been intrigued about the history of Queen Victoria, this movie poster attracted my attention. Themes 1) racial prejudice: Because of his skin colour and religion, Abdul was looked down by everyone in the royal household, including the staff. The more they looked down and excluded him, the more […]
Movie Review: Victoria And Abdul
I am usually attracted to any film starring Rachel Weisz. Not only is she very nice to look at, she can act too. The second thing that appealed to me about this film is its North London setting, in the Jewish Orthodox area that I know quite well from my life in London. Weisz plays […]
Film Review: Disobedience (2017)
An evening of Laurel without Hardy and Hardy without Laurel sounded uncertain — I was reminded of the cheap tapes and DVDs that would package together whatever low-quality public domain bits they could scrape together and publish, without a shred of honest, as “The Best of Laurel and Hardy.” But, viewing as an amateur historian, […]
The Sunday Intertitle: Before Comedy was King
Hi, and welcome to the 100th remake of The Wicker Man. In this version from 2006, our victim is played by Jeremy Sisto. He’s a good actor but he’s no Nicolas Cage. He played Steve Kady, who works for the U.S. Census Bureau so let’s all take a moment to boo the federal government. Booooo! […]
Horror Film Review: Population 436 (dir by Michelle McLaren)
*deep breath* I did it. I’m scared out of my mind but I did it, I watched the original Halloween from beginning to end without stopping. I should explain: I’ve had a fixation with horror/slasher movies for years, by which I mean I’m fascinated by them but I’ve always been too scared to watch them […]

In 2007, filmmaker Kirsten Johnson lost her mother, Catherine (nicknamed Katie Jo), to Alzheimer’s. Johnson was struck by how little footage she had shot of her mother, despite being a cinematographer for many years. That realization nags at her. Some aspects of Katie Jo’s story now exist only in the memory of her husband, Dick. […]

Reely Bernie Horror Fest: Lake Mungo – 2008
It all starts with this leaf. For me, this fallen amber-hued leaf represents the promise of the upcoming autumn season, which is undoubtedly my favorite season of the year. Radiant colors begin appearing on trees and end up on the ground to a crackling sound that brings you back to younger days. This is the […]
