Review: The King of the Monsters Meets Retro Sci-Fi in ‘Godzilla vs. Monster Zero’

Hey, everybody. James here. Sarah’s currently doing stuff (Traveling? Dead?), so there’s no SciFriday this week. I’ll be filling in today, guest-writing on my own blog, which, now that I think of it, is probably not something that I needed to explain. I am the Boss. This is my domain. I demand statues and a…

Octoberween: ‘An American Werewolf in London’ Is Really Not That Great

Rooster Illusion’s manifest destiny has been going off without a hitch. Four new writers have burst forth from the John Hurt-like cavities of this blog and into the isolated spaceship of your hearts, with more yet to come.

Octoberween: “Slither” is Gross, Funny, and Charmingly Weird

While you were eating breakfast this morning, or maybe dinner last night, Rooster Illusion was in a cave in the Himalayas cracking his knuckles (even though his Mom told him not to) and getting down to business. Note: His Mom told him that when he was younger. Rooster Illusion does not live with his parents.…

Octoberween Brings a Few Changes and a Fair Amount of Horror

Finally, an October without homework. Now I can appreciate the month for what it really is: thirty days leading up to Halloween. Hallo-Month. That’s terrible. Octoberween? Meh. Good enough. Happy Octoberween, kids. Since I’m apparently in the mood for some spooky fun, Rooster Illusion is reviewing a horror movie a week, so you can look forward to…
