There are a couple of movies I've seen - only a couple that come to mind - with a very specific issue
that makes them not work for me.
It's when the THEME or below-the-surface meaning of the story holds together but the actual plot suffers for it.
Spoiler for ...

Truth and Lies

Everybody lies.
Generally speaking.
I mean, there could be a few out there who don't. A few pure souls that never stray from the truth. Could be. But I doubt it.
Could a mute person lie? I suppose so…whether they're writing something down or using sign language ...
Prequels and Sequels

I kid, I just like the gif. But I do prefer prequels.
When are sequels and prequels great to do? What makes a great sequel or prequel?
I believe a lot of us think about expanding our stories, whether it’s in the form of a sequel or a prequel ...
The Before Picture

Awright, first things f*ckin' last…
I just saw a clip of Robert Englund, iconic in his role as Willie on the old TV show “V”…oh, and also as the
horror legend Freddy Krueger, talking about the Nightmare on Elm Street remake, and why it didn't work out ...
The motive ruined it for me...

I want to play a game…
Here we go lads, lasses, dummy thicc axes, I meant to do a movie review for Scream last week but I saw The Ruins and just felt the need to get into it.
Anyway for Scream! So, be warned, there are spoilers, probably bad ...
Horror and Morality
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 15, 2021
The idea of “sin” is a prevalent one in horror stories. In terrifying tales, the monstrous against the human also explores good vs. evil.
There is often a “sin” perpetrated by horror Protagonists. The classic Psycho begins with Marion Crane stealing money from her job. Her intentions are understandable, maybe ...
Not even Dora is exploring this.

So, I found a horror movie recently and even though it’s not serial killer horror or Halloween type of horror, it’s definitely scary.
The movie I will be talking about today: “The Ruins” (2008) – there will be spoilers, so please be warned. The following movie is for mature ...
FEATURED COMIC --> Backwoods
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Oct. 6, 2021
The Backwoods begins inside a storage unit of a beloved Professor that has recently passed on. In the center, stands a prominent sarcophagus of jackal-headed deity, Anubis, with the caption: “There are Stories”. This is a thinking-person’s comic—where rat skeletons; chainsaw-wielding tree stumps; legendary gryphons battle horsemen; and ...
So Spooky Season has Begun, eh?
damehelsing at 12:00AM, Oct. 3, 2021
Hi! So Spooky Season has begun and my brain has gone into fart mode and it's currently slow on bringing up topics right now!
But I thought something interesting would be to do a review on movies, pick them apart, talk about what's good and what's bad ...
