CINEMA REVIEW: MEMORIES OF MURDER (2003)
Phil was on a late shift for the Thursday retro movie, so left to my own devices I went looking on Disney+ which I got given for 6 months when I upgraded my phone. Nothing much on there I have to admit, but I came across a little movie called Timmy Failure ~ Mistakes Were […]

Teenage Bounty Hunters Netflix It’s like Derry Girls meets the Stephanie Plum novels and just as fun. I originally saw this on the excellent TV Fanatic Blog and had to give it a go. I’m glad I saw the review first because the beginning was a little bumpy but in the end I speed through […]
Derry Girls Meets Stephanie Plum
Welcome to the next double feature! I have to say that I may have given up on the alphabet format but I don’t think anyone else was really following that anyways…always get stuck at Q. Either way, next pairing are two movies I saw as breathers in between Fantasia screenings. The first is The Kissing […]

This week, I’m going to be talking about endings. Now before you gasp and exclaim, “Not you too, mydangblog!” let me clarify that I am NOT talking about giving up blogging, although I just realized that I’m almost at my 6 year anniversary of posting EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY and isn’t that something to celebrate? I […]
Another film I came to late, and one that has inspired sequels since. Sometimesyou have to sit back and let a film wash over you, and this is one of those times. Extremely violent, and rather pointless, this is a relentless revenge-thriller about a retired hit man who returns to take on his former […]

Horror on the Lens: Bloodlust! (dir by Ralph Booker)
Host tells the story of the Zoom meeting from Hell. Actually, that description is a case of me being a bit too glib. Though this hour-long film, which can currently be viewed on Shudder, has received a lot of attention for its Zoom call format, there’s a good deal more going on in Host. It’s […]
Horror Film Review: Host (dir by Rob Savage)
Last summer, I was so captivated by Stephen Dorff’s performance in one of the best television dramas of all-time (HBO’s True Detective, Season 3) that I wanted to see more of his work in film. In the horror column, I found two I hadn’t seen before: FearDotCom (2002) and The Gate (1987). FearDotCom (2002) Viewings […]

When the news broke on March 29th, 2019 that Agnès Varda had passed away at age 90 from cancer, the film world mourned, but I did not. I recognized the name of course, but had I seen any of her films? As it turned out, actually yes. About 18 months prior, I had enjoyed an […]
Viewing Varda Part One: ‘La Pointe Courte’
How much do you remember of your childhood? Or an even better question might be, how far back does your memory go? No matter what the answer is to that question, I think no one will be able to deny the fact that the way you are raised as a child for a large part […]
