It had been a long time since I’d last seen this film, and it’s even better than I remember. I’ve watched so much crap this month, it’s so refreshing when story, special effects, acting and everything else just work together so symbiotically. Near perfection. I just can’t believe how much this movie was inspired by …
Thing, The (1982) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 24 / Film #3 Read More »
A couple of happy-go-lucky rednecks become victims of negative profiling and what follows are the ultimate cases of misunderstanding. One of my favourite horror-comedies, just the right amount of gore and the perfect amount of laughs. The scene that involves a chainsaw and a hive is flawlessly executed. Purely delightful.
My feelings towards this film have diminished over the years. I once regarded it as one of the upper echelon action-comedies. Not so much any more. I used to think that Tom Arnold was a revelation; now he’s just an annoying sidekick. The action sequences mostly hold up. The bridge scene is still a high-light. …

Tusk – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 12 / Film #2 Read More »
Common horror film scenario, several teens travel to a cabin on the lake for spring break only to have it spoiled by killer creature. Very meta film that predates Scream by 5 years.

Extremely funny and often very touching comedic-drama featuring a phenomenal ensemble cast. I was surprised about how much I enjoyed this movie. While there is absolutely no need for a sequel, I hope for one just so I could see this cast perform together again.
“I like when the horse ends up wearing women’s clothes.”
“I like the clock that shows its underwear after music.”
One of my all time favourite films. Perfectly cast with a dream ensemble. Some of the best dialog ever put to celluloid. The violence is brutal and breathtaking. One phenomenal scene after another, pure movie magic. Love it.
“I think it’s funny when Casey bats the robot-dude repeatedly.”
