Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. It's time once again to take a look at Week 8's power rankings! Things are looking nicely symmetrical, with two teams (one from each conference) up top and two teams down in the F-tier. It'd be nice if it was one from each conference at the bottom as well, but it's…
As far as Friday the 13th rip-offs go, this one is not that bad. Apparently, summer camp was the deadliest setting for carnage in the 1980s. This movie has a villain named Cropsy, a camp caretaker who was horribly disfigured from a fire accidentally started by a prank gone wrong. Those pesky campers! Flash forward five years and a new round of snot-nosed campers…
Playing video games can be deadly! A beta tester plays an unreleased video game and ends up dying mysteriously in the same way his character died in the video game. It's up to his friend, Hutch, to play the game and find out the truth of what happened. Hutch recruits some of his gamer buddies to assist (including Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz).…
This episode of the Is This Song Good podcast starts a new series of featured songs by one hit wonders, but not the hit song. The mid 1990s brought us Joan Osborne and the smash hit song One of Us, but we're listening to her cover of Bob Dylan's Man in the Long Black Coat.
Listen to the song on YouTube here: Joan Osborne - Man in the Long Black Coat
Last week I posed this question in my NFC Division winners post. And Im not going to get super deep into it but I do want to take a look. It was largely believed, after last season, that all the Jets needed was a QB. New York traded a lot of draft capital to Green Bay in the off season to get Aaron Rodgers…
We tried the Sonic Vanilla Trick or Treat Blast!
I'm going to preface this review by saying that the first Saw movie was not bad, but the sequels tended to get progressively worse. I'm not really into torture porn horror, because it seems to miss the point of why horror is an interesting genre. Just mutilating people alone isn't worthy of my time. What I'm looking for are things like interesting characters, societal…
A group of friends get together at a remote mansion to ride out a hurricane. After getting bored with drugs, drinking, and dancing, they decide to play a murder mystery type game called "Bodies Bodies Bodies". It's all fun and games until one of them turns up dead and everyone is a suspect. SNL's Pete Davidson and Borat's daughter Maria Bakalova are the notable…
Generally, I don't like "found footage" type movies, because the shaky camera work makes it hard to tell what is going on. That and it's often just headache/nausea-inducing. This film managed to keep the camera steady long enough to be somewhat enjoyable and used the cinematography for great effect rather than just a gimmick. The story follows Scarlett on her quest to find the…
This is the most absurd premise and I love it. Some girls at a sorority house decide to adopt a homicidal sloth as their mascot. Hilarity ensues. Slowly. The movie fully understands how ridiculous it is, and then leans into it a bit more. To the point where they have the sloth doing human things like browsing social media on a laptop. Even some…
