Unfriended (2014)

It's a clever idea with a unique technology twist where the whole film is told through the perspective of a computer screen using mostly Skype, Facebook, and YouTube. It's like Blair Witch meets Scream with a ghost in the machine. While I was sort of entertained in a car accident-watching kind of way, I found so many things to dislike. The characters are awful…

Howling V: The Rebirth (1989)

There's a werewolf in a castle in Budapest and a group of douchebags, each with a special triangular arm marking must stop it before it kills them. But who is the werewolf? This is the most boring piece of crap "horror movie" that is a direct-to-video sequel capitalizing on the Howling series name.  So much time is wasted just walking around stair passages and…

NFL Picks – Week 6

Lets just call last week "Bruno" because we are not going to talk about it. The Lions have week 6 off so they cant blow another one! Rather than picking individual games, shift gears. Now that the Power Rankings are starting to show some usable data lets talk about playoffs. Heres who I think the division winners will be. AFC East - Buffalo BillsThe…

The Blob (1958)

I have a soft spot for the 1988 remake starring Kevin Dillon, but this original film is better in most ways. Sure, it is rather old and suffers from the limitations of the time. The special effects are better than I thought they would be, and had me wondering how they pulled certain things off. Steve McQueen is great as always and it’s fun…

House of Wax (2005)

Let me start by saying this is NOT a good horror movie. But there is something so wonderfully mid-2000s about it, I can’t hate it. In fact, I delight in all the ridiculousness. From Paris Hilton to the rocking nu-metal soundtrack to the incredible amount of effort put into the sets and wax effects. Plotwise, it’s kind of Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Wrong Turn.…

NFL Power Rankings – Week 6

Welcome back to the Power Rankings! The question today is about teams #2 and #3: Are the Vikings and Giants any good? Our rankings say yes, and twin 4-1 records support the case. The other 4-1 teams, the Chiefs, Bills, and Cowboys, are pretty convincing. Buffalo and Kansas City are Super Bowl contenders and have been for a while. Dallas I'm a little more…

Critters 4 (1992)

Those lovable furballs are back and this time it’s on a spaceship. I always love how these movie series have to have an “in space” installment. It takes FOREVER for anything to start happening in this movie. The critters don’t show up until about halfway through the movie. Surprisingly, it has Angela Bassett and Brad Dourif. Did they read the script? Or maybe they…

X (2022)

I am not understanding the audience's love for this one. It’s a basic plot about filming a porno in backwoods Texas that turns deadly at the hands of an elderly couple? It would have to be Texas, wouldn’t it? It just took forever to go anywhere and it’s only 106 minutes long. When the blood eventually does start to flow in the second act,…

Days 9 and 10 – Saguaro National Park

If the Grand Canyon was our favorite stop, this couple of days was the best time we had on our trip. This was due mostly to the fact that we got to spend a couple of days with Zac, Teresa, and their boys. On June 25, 2022, we headed south on I-17 from the Grand Canyon and made a pit-stop in Phoenix. We were…
