Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats!

2012-01-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonley, lonely time since my last post. My life has been flipped upside down in the last 7 months or so and I just haven't had the drive or the time to run this blog like it should be. My many misadventures of the last year have been, unemployment, divorce, homelessness and staring at the grinning mug of the grim reaper himself. Needless to say it's been a shitload of fun. Thankfully my life is now on back on track (for the most part) and I've been jonesin' to get back to blogging and reviewing movies. No reviews yet, but here's a video I made for the song "Withered Hand of Evil" by Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats. It's doom/sludge metal at it's best. The song is accompanied by Lucio Fulci's HOUSE BY THE CEMTERY (possibly a video review to follow?), so it's jam packed with excellent old school splatter. Enjoy!

Here's is a film I never thought I'd review as I'm not much of a fan of "nature-run-amok" horror/sci-fi movies, but I caught myself having some fun watching one. Plus it has William Shatner, which is a plus. Enjoy my review for, KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS...

Okay, so I know I said no more live reviews, but with the untimely end of Sinful Cinema, I have more time to make these crappy video reviews for the 3 of you that actually watch them. NIGHTMARE CITY starts an all new season of reviews, with a new (and shorter) intro, and my attempt at a new streamlined approach at reviewing. Enjoy!

2010-02-27T17:58:00.001-07:00

Live Review: Street Law (1974)

2009-01-15T15:08:00.008-07:00

First off, I'm sorry if I haven't been getting to everybody's blogs and making comments as of the last 3 or 4 weeks, but I've had all sorts of computer issues among other things that have kept me very busy. It's a miracle that I was even able to make this review at all.

Error note: I refer to the film THE SMELL OF ONION as THE SMELL OF ONIONS--there's no 'S'. My bad.

2008-12-10T19:38:00.010-07:00

As far as the movie, it's an Xmas classic in my humble, yet weird opinion.
