For Wes: Remembering Wes Craven and the Movies That Changed Horror Forever I am rarely affected by celebrity deaths, but when it was revealed that Wes Craven had passed away on August 30, 2015, weeks after his 76th birthday, I was devastated. Never before had I been so moved...

Today would have been Wes Craven’s 86th birthday. I wrote this last year as my humble attempt at honoring him.

My son and I were laughing nonstop from the reveal of “P.L.O.T. Device” through the post-credit cameo. I have a feeling “a butt that says, ‘hey I’m a talking butt’” is going to be one of those lines we just randomly say all the time now.

The original Naked Gun was one of those formative movie moments for me (yes really!) mad this looks like fun. #NowSeated

Poster for the 2025 movie “The Home”

Checking out a movie I know nothing about. Though a hypodermic needle going into an eye is like a top 3 worst nightmare for me. Yay!

It’s Alive! And the most in-depth piece I’ve written for this series yet. Hope you enjoy!

Model of the Bride of Frankenstein

She’s alone in the lab for now but I think she’s looking lovely.

Mel Brooks and Peter Boyle, the latter made up to look like Frankenstein’s monster, pose for a photo on the set of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974).

“His childhood fear turned to affection and eventually admiration for Frankenstein…This all came in handy decades later when Melvin Kaminsky grew up to be Mel Brooks.”

Model head of the Bride of Frankenstein.

Still some details but it’s a nice start.

This series isn’t really my thing so I may not be the one to ask on it. It’s well enough made and all but again, didn’t do it for me.

I don’t have much connection to this series but I figured what the hell. Let’s see what’s up.

Poster for the movie ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”

50th anniversary screening of this today. I’ve had my ups and downs with this one over the years but I’m looking forward to this and seeing ow I feel about it now.

Excellent!! Hope you enjoy it. We didn’t go too deep yet but we had a good time chatting a bit about the movie and offering some recommendations.

Loved this one! Exactly what I like in a Superman movie. My favorite thing about it? It remembers that movies like this are supposed to be fun.

Superman ‘78 is the first movie I remember seeing as a kid and the obsession has only continued. Excited for this latest iteration.
