It was becoming apparent that our home network was a bit under-powered for all the stuff we stream and the plethora of devices connected wirelessly. The cable modem (Motorola SB6121) was from 3 years ago and the wireless router (Cisco E1200) wasn't that fancy 4 years ago. The ISP keeps modifying how they pump data through our cable, so older modems, even DOCSIS 3.0…
Yeasayer has been one of those bands that you find and you continue to wonder how their fan base never grows any bigger. They have infectious pop songs and crazy world music-infused rock electronic. They've done straight rock and reduced synthetic sounds, while maintaining a consistent originality that is hard to find these days. I saw them in a little club in 2010 and…
The original title of this post was going to be: Thanks A Lot, Shitheads I'm trying to stay positive and hope for the best, though. I'm trying to remember that I have kids and I need to set a good example for them. Going off the rails right now would not be good for anyone. I'M. FUCKING. PISSED. OFF! There is no silver lining. No…
I kinda feel like this one should be called Halloween 5: The Final Night He Came Home. Or Halloween: The Final Revenge.Otherwise, I have no idea that the series was supposed to be done for a 7 years. It's a direct continuation of part 4. Michael Myers is almost killed but gets away and then starts stalking his niece, played by Danielle Harris, who has a…
From horror masters George Romero and Stephen King comes this horror anthology. The movie starts with a kidnapped boy (Matthew Lawrence) being held by a housewife (Deborah Harry) as the intended main course of a dinner party. The boy attempts to stall the cooking process by reading some stories to the housewife from a big book called Tales from the Darkside that he was given…
An alien organism arrives on earth and starts taking over the human race by duplicating people while they sleep. The clones are identical in appearance but are usually missing their personality or well known character traits. By the time anyone figures it out, it's almost too late. Almost. Donald Sutherland plays health inspector Matthew, the one who puts together what is going on. We…
An alien canister crash lands in the 50s and releases a zombie virus. The first infected person is put on ice only to be thawed 30 years later by some punk kids trying to steal a cadaver for a frat pledge prank. 80s TEEN COMEDY HORROR TIME!!!!!!!! It's mostly slow going as the infection starts to spread in the form of fast-moving slug creatures…
A mad scientist and his assistant (Jeffrey Combs) create a device called The Resonator that allows them to see things beyond reality. Unspeakable, horrible things, which cause the mad scientist to be decapitated and his assistant put in a nuthouse for the murder. The doctor who treats the assistant gets him out of the nuthouse and they, along with a detective (Ken Foree from Dawn…
I've seen some animal-based horror movies but this one takes the taco. Slugs? Really? They don't move fast enough. How could they possibly kill anyone? Who is going to be afraid of them? A health inspector in a small town uncovers the toxic waste-modified slug takeover. From the opening death, it takes a incredible amount of time before another death happens and it comes…
This is what they mean when they say "new classic." It's equal parts hilarious and horrific as four zombie apocalypse survivors must come to terms with their total shitfest reality. What makes it work so well is the high octane pace and the spunk-filled wit. The characters have their quirks with Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) obsessed with his rules for survival and Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson)…
