Second Breakfast: It’s Always Time for a Peter Cushing Double Feature

Yeah, I know it’s the middle of May, but guess what. Peter Cushing is always seasonally appropriate. Anyway, it’s been kind of gloomy here lately. More than that, and more importantly, how is a person expected to go a year between Halloweens? I mean, just what the hell do you expect me to do with…

Second Breakfast: The Wonder and Majesty of Ridley Scott’s ‘Legend’

A lot of really crappy movies came out in the ‘80s. A lot of really great movies came out in the ‘80s. A fair number of movies came out in the ‘80s that were somewhere between crappy and great. And then. And then there was this week’s movie. This week’s movie is just… it’s just……

/horror gets “Cabin Fever” (2002 & 2016)

Baddie: Probably the flesh eating virus. Lesson: Never ignore the creepy locals. If you’ve been reading /horror [SciFridays], you may know how I feel about Eli Roth. Hint: The feeling is not warm fuzzies. However, when a director has the gall to remake his own campy horror movie not even fifteen years later as a…

Second Breakfast Slays Dragons and Has No Fun Doing It

As I said earlier, I recently made the dubious decision to spend all of April watching and reviewing terrible fantasy movies from the 1980s. Let’s be honest with each other; this cannot and will not have any effect—negative or positive—on my readership, so while the toll it’s taken on me is, indeed, noteworthy, I’m not…

Second Breakfast: “The Word ‘Naff’ Comes to Mind”

I’ve decided, for whatever reason, to devote the entirety of April to reviewing terrible ‘80s fantasy films. Having now commenced this process, I can honestly say that it doesn’t stand as one of the absolute best decisions I’ve ever made, because, I mean, well, let’s just let the movies speak for themselves, shall we? Sword…

Second Breakfast: Same Rooster Time, Same Rooster Channel

Aight. Over the years writing for this blog I have made no secret of my deep, undying affection for the Hollywood B-Listers. I have devoted several posts to the films of Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee, including one entirely on the fact that they didn’t make the A-List. Today I focus in on…

Second Breakfast: ‘The Big Short’

A few weeks ago I published a list of my top ten favorite films from 2015, and stressed in that opening paragraph, which I assume everyone skipped over, that last year saw the releases of well over ten great movies, making for a nice break from the norm. I gave a shout-out to some of…
