The following essay was inspired by Frank Godbey's blog post "What is Horror?" and a follow-up comment by Julie on the Netflix Friends group who stated that she felt like she was on a "never ending quest to find the perfect [horror] movie." Until now, I've never really thought about what I would look for in a "perfect" horror movie. Most of the time, my movie-viewing preference is whatever genre

It wasn't worth a nickel." Sadly, I didn't think this movie was even worth a nickel. It's a very slow, dialog-heavy drama that takes forever to lead anywhere, and the ending it

I personally hate the term "aspiring actor." You can be a "beginner," but "aspiring"? No. Either you're an actor or you aren't. My definition of "aspiring actor" is someone with no acting experience who wishes they could be an actor -- that they have hopes and dreams of one day becoming an actor. If you aspire to be an actor, do something about it: take classes and audition for community

Riddle me this... Question: Name a job where you can work for 8 hours but never actually do any work? Okay, besides being a politician, cable installer, or construction worker. Answer: Background extra. Twice in the last two months I've worked 8-hour days on TV/film shoots but just sat in extras holding the whole time, never to be called to set. Don't get me wrong -- I'm not complaining. Who

The Cable Guy (1996) **1/2 Director: Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander, Reality Bites) Starring: Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick I was disappointed by this movie, but to be fair I went expecting to see Jim Carrey's over-the-top comedy shtick that made him famous in Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura. And if that's what you're expecting too, you'll be sorely disappointed. This is a

Into The Wild (2007) ***1/2 out of 5 asterisks Director: Sean Penn (The Pledge, The Crossing Guard) Starring: Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Hal Holbrook This twice Oscar-nominated indie film is a slow but interesting true-life adventure-drama with great performances. And I would rate it higher if it weren't for excess: excessive scenic footage, excessive use of slo-mo, and

It had some good things going for it, like having a comedy-savvy director and a cast known for comedic roles. But either something went wrong during production or maybe it was just a bad script to begin

The new series Transformers Prime officially premiered on The Hub (formerly Discovery Kids) in November 2010, and advance hype for the series used such buzzwords as "groundbreaking," "cutting edge," and "epic."

It Runs In The Family (2003) ***1/2 out of 5 asterisks Director: Fred Schepisi (I.Q., Roxanne) Starring: Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas There's not much "plot" to this movie and it moves along at a snail's pace; however, it's a nice slice-of-life drama about how a family copes with tragedy and does so in a realistic, familiar way. It also has three generations of the Douglas family in it -- Kirk

The Ruins (2008) *** out of 5 asterisks Director: Carter Smith Cast: Joanthan Tucker, Jena Malone, Laura Ramsey, Shawn Ashmore, Joe Anderson At first the story and characters seem typical, and the movie's fairly boring until about 25 minutes in, but it turned out to be an entertaining approach to the survival horror genre.

Pacific Heights (1990) *** out of 5 asterisks Director: John Schlesinger (Marathon Man, The Falcon and the Snowman) Cast: Michael Keaton, Melanie Griffith, Matthew Modine This film offers suspense in spades and Michael Keaton's performance is seriously creepy. On the downside, Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine lack on-screen chemistry and their characters aren't interesting, but at least they

Masters of Horror: Family (2006) **** out of 5 asterisks Director: John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Animal House, An American Werewolf in London) Starring: George Wendt A near-perfect and fun little horror flick starring the guy who played "Norm" on Cheers as a serial killer trying to make a good impression on his neighbors. Of all the titles in the "Masters of Horror" series I've seen to date,

Boy Eats Girl (2005) **1/2 out of 5 asterisks Director: Stephen Bradley Cast: Samantha Mumba, David Leon This Irish zombie movie (yes, you read that correctly) ignores the all-important horror film rule that someone must be murdered within the first 5 minutes. And that's the film's main flaw: it takes far too long for the movie to get interesting. But once it does (more than halfway in) it's an

April Fool's Day (1986) ** out of 5 asterisks Director: Fred Walton (When A Stranger Calls, When A Stranger Calls Back) Cast: Deborah Foreman, Jay Baker, Deborah Goodrich, Ken Olant I really don't understand how this came to be called a "horror classic." It's more of a campy B-movie slasher flick and not nearly scary enough to be a true horror film. Furthermore, the acting is campy and crappy,

Mr. Brooks (2007) *** Director: Bruce A. Evans (who also co-wrote) Starring: Kevin Costner, William Hurt Entertaining psychological thriller offering an interesting fictional perspective into the mind of a serial killer. The top notch performances by Costner and Hurt are nearly overshadowed by comedian Dane Cook's lousy acting -- it's forced, unbelievable and really shows his inexperience. I

Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) **1/2 out of 5 asterisks Director: Jack Clayton Starring: Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Vidal Peterson, Shawn Carson I've been a fan of Ray Bradbury since I was old enough to read, but this Disney-imagineered vision of Bradbury's masterwork of fiction is just too family-friendly. If there ever was a Disney-produced film that was actually worthy of a remake

Disturbia (2007) ***1/2 out of 5 asterisks Director: D.J. Caruso Starring: Shia LeBeouf, David Morse Granted, it's a modern remake of a Hitchcock classic, but it's actually a GOOD one. I anticipated another formulaic teen horror/thriller, but LeBeouf's entertaining performance and the constant edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting type of suspense completely sucked me in. And David Morse is great in it

Masters of Horror: Deer Woman (2005) **1/2 out of 5 asterisks Director: John Landis (An American Werewolf in London, The Blues Brothers, Animal House) Starring: Brian Benben, Anthony Griffith, Cinthia Moura, Lisa Marie Caruk In spite of the largely negative reviews this film has received I enjoyed it overall, although the ending is much too abrupt, awkward, and doesn't offer any sort of closure.

The Tenant (1976) **1/2 Director: Roman Polanski (who also starred and co-wrote the script) (Polanski's legal troubles and alleged criminal activity aside...) This was recommended to me as a "psychological thriller," and while I'll admit it was suspenseful and an interesting character study in paranoia and dementia, I just didn't like it. For a while, it seems like it might be a ghost story,

P2 (2007) *** out of 5 asterisks Director: Franck Khalfoun Starring: Rachel Nichols, Wes Bentley The whole film takes place in an underground parking garage and hence the "P2" title. I was expecting another formulaic horror/thriller, but it turned out to be surprisingly good with interesting plot twists and suspense. Also what helps set this movie apart from similar genre films is that you won't

The Night Listener (2006) ** out of 5 asterisks Director: Patrick Stettner (The Business of Strangers) Starring: Robin Williams, Toni Collette A decent (although slow) psychological thriller right up until the ending. The performances by Robin Williams and the rest of the cast are solid, but it's not enough to salvage the movie from the disappointing ending. The film is based on a true story

Dawn of the Dead (1978) *** out of 5 asterisks Director/Writer: George A. Romero Starring: Ken Foree, Gaylen Ross, Scott H.

I'll grant that this film was groundbreaking in its day and its cult classic status cannot be denied. The subtle social commentary on consumer

Zombieland (2009) *** Director: Ruben Fleischer Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin While this film was generally received well by horror fans and film critics, I'm going to buck the trend and say that it was a little disappointing. I had higher expectations due to the hype from horror fans slobbering over it who apparently weren't bothered by Jesse Eisenberg's

I'm a regular on a forum called The Southern Casting Call which is a great, FREE resource for performers in the Southeast U.S. -- I've booked many a paid gig thanks to the site. One of the most-frequently-asked-questions at TSCC involves how TV/film roles are "billed" (or credited) on a resume. The helpful thing to do would be to provide a link to The Actors Voice -- a blog published by author,

The Host (2006) ***1/2 (out of 5 asterisks) Director/Co-Writer: Joon-ho Bong Starring: Some Korean actors whose names you probably won't recognize Good character-driven family drama/thriller that defies the expectations, conventions and cliches of a standard "monster movie." A very non-traditional monster flick that's recommended even if you don't like monster movies. But I would strongly advise

Tacky. That's the best way to describe a production company who will do something like this. Here's the scenario: You are an experienced, professional actor and you audition for a stage production but you are not cast, or you submit for an audition but are not even selected. Afterwards, the production company adds your email address to their database and sends you a series of marketing emails

Loose Cannons (1990) *** Director: Bob Clark (A Christmas Story, Porky's series) Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Gene Hackman Buddy cop comedy with Aykroyd in top comedic form. Not a great movie by any means, but Aykroyd's performance is amusing enough (also supported by the comic talents of the late Dom DeLuise) that it's at least worth the rental if you're a fan of his work.

Penny Dreadful (2006) - not even worth half an asterisk Director/Writer: Richard Brandes (who also wrote/directed/produced/acted in several other low-budget B-movie thrillers) Starring: Rachel Miner, Mimi Rogers "Dreadful" describes this flick perfectly.

A Simple Plan (1998) **** (out of 5 asterisks) Director: Sam Raimi (Evil Dead trilogy, Spider-Man trilogy) Starring: Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton Fascinating moral tale about greed and how it can corrupt even good, decent people. Great thriller. Highly recommended.

GMANews.TV reports: Two days before the start of the campaign period, posters of candidates running for national and local posts have begun to litter parts of Metro Manila. In Manila and Quezon City, posters of a presidential bet and his running mate [Richard Gordon and running mate Bayani Fernando] sprouted in several areas, including parts of main thoroughfares such as España Avenue and Quezon

In January, I visited the family in my hometown of Memphis, TN. It was the first time I'd been "home" in 3 years, and I was amazed how much the city has changed over the last decade...and not for the better. My younger brother informed me that the Hickory Ridge Mall had closed after a tornado devastated it in 2008 (2 years ago this month). It was our favorite hang-out when we were younger. We

The following was originally posted February 6, 2010 and has since become a mostly dated rant. I hates the new Facebook changes. The Live Feed has become a nightmare cluttered with posts from Fan Pages and Groups and every single little bit of activity by my friends (which I only want to see if I actually look at their profiles). My organized friends lists have disappeared. Thank you so much

Seraphim Falls (2006) **** (out of 5 asterisks) Director/Writer: David Von Ancken (Cold Case, CSI: NY) Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson A somewhat slow but satisfying western drama which deftly illustrates the futility of war and revenge and the healing power of redemption and forgiveness. Features great cinematography, an intriguing plot and solid performances. Heartily recommended if you

Nolan Rubin loves hamburgers. He loves hamburgers so much that he was willing to go on record for a Wall Street Journal article on Burger King "Super Fans" and admit publicly that he would "wolf down bacon cheeseburgers three or four nights a week at Burger King, Jack in the Box and local bars." And then burger-lover Nolan Rubin was laid off from his job, forcing him to change his eating habits

When A Stranger Calls (2006) ** (out of 5 asterisks) Director: Simon West Starring: Camilla Belle When a stranger calls... it's simple: DON'T ANSWER! Seriously, that's what Caller ID is for. This remake of a 1979 film was particularly unnecessary -- the original was mediocre at best, and this one is barely an improvement. But it seems to be a Hollywood standard that there must be at least one

Craig's Capsule Reviews: #3 The Best of Times (1986) *** (out of 5 asterisks) Director: Roger Spottiswoode (Turner & Hooch, Air America, Tomorrow Never Dies) Starring: Robin Williams, Kurt Russell This is quite literally "fantasy football," but it's wish fulfilment in pure Hollywood fashion. So, yes, it's cliched and predictable, but it's definitely a "feel good" flick and it's funny too. If you

I love watching movies. According to my Netflix profile, I've rated 2268 of them to date. That means I've watched 59.7 movies per year since I was born in 1971, and the first 5 years doesn't count because I wasn't old enough to remember them. And while I love watching movies, I hate wasting my money or time on a bad one. And hence the need for checking reviews in advance. But back in the late

For this blog, I normally don't take photos of new shirts that are still on the rack in department stores. I prefer that they they be more like "found objects," rather than still selling at retail. But this one is quite possibly the best thing since spliced genes. And the award for "Best Concept in T-Shirt Design goes to..." This shirt provides its own caption (and my apologies that it's a

What's wrong with this DVD cover? Ghostbusters II: The Segregation Where the heck is Ernie Hudson, aka Winston Zeddemore -- fourth and final member of the Ghostbusters team? That's what's wrong with it! And furthermore, Hudson's name is not credited either. This is the cover art (shamelessly swiped from Amazon) for the 1999 Columbia/TriStar DVD release of Ghostbusters II. It was also among the

Everything has a beginning, except things that start at the end, or in the middle. Or things that start and then stop, and then you try to start them again but they won't go. Like my car. This is the beginning of this weblog/blog... diary or journal as they were called before technology freed people of unnecessary things like writing utensils and actual in-person social interaction.
