Wow, for the first, I dunno, 50-60 minutes this film just makes you feel super awkward and uncomfortable! Lucky McKee sure captured “socially awkward” to an uncomfortable degree. Angela Bettis perfectly plays the titular character. I couldn’t get over how her hand performed throughout the film, as a person with severe anxiety, I can attest to the extreme degree of bending back her fingers are … Continue reading May (2002) (Dir. Lucky McKee) Review
I recently dog-sat for the uncle and aunt while they went to Tahiti for three-plus weeks. It turns out, I’m not much of a dog person. I sure like dogs! Other people’s dogs. As for having one? Well the need to walk them and take them outside is a bit much for me because I am lazy. And they bark. And they are generally big … Continue reading Good Boy Review

A History Lesson part 5 (finale) Alysa sat on the couch and stared at the TV but wasn’t watching anything in particular. Delroy entered the living room and sighed when he noticed his daughter’s state. “Wanna talk about it?,” he asked as he took a seat. “I never did the research,” Alysa said softly after turning off the television, “I just went off what people … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #40
A History lesson part 3 A joke – I once saw a man standing on a bridge, ready to jump and I told that man, “Don’t kill yourself. Life has meaning.” He said, “ My life doesn’t.” I asked him, “Haven’t you found religion?” He said he had and I said, “Me too. Are you a Christian or are you a follower of Iseda?” He … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #38
A History Lesson part 2 Alysa came down stairs and sat at the kitchen table and was surprised to see that Delroy had set up breakfast for the two of them. It was only a couple bowls of Cheerios and some coffee, but she appreciated her father putting forth the effort. It reminded her of living with her mother. It was nice to have someone … Continue reading AP Production Winghaven #37
It’s rare, but every so often, I get a bug in me to watch the entirety of a franchise I’d never seen before. Last year, it was Mission: Impossible. This year I decided to watch the entire Final Destination series. I blame Amazon Prime, through which we have our HBO Max subscription. I was fishing around for something to watch, and Prime kept throwing FD … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Final Destination

A History Lesson part 1 To the locals, the island was called Ayiti. To the Spanish, it was called Hispaniola. To the French, it was Saint Domingue. To them, it was a memory, a home they last saw while they were loaded on the boat. Queen Obeah Alvit sat in quiet meditation. They normally took the men but as she was a spiritual leader, the … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #36
Not that I’m of the belief that it ever went anywhere, but how nice is it to see that mainstream horror is all the way back with the success that Sinners and now Weapons have had at the box office? Horror is having a wonderful year with the masses in 2025. With Sinners being in my top five movies of the year, I went into … Continue reading Weapons Review
She passed through the busy New Orleans street, unseen and untouched and to say that she did this in a literal fashion would be accurate. Both invisible and intangible, she phased through walls, vehicles, and the crowd with no one the wiser. Barriers didn’t matter to her as she floated immaterially into and through them. If any pedestrians had noticed her, they would have seen … Continue reading AP Productions: Femme Phantom Halloween Special
I don’t watch enough short movies. I helped MAKE a short movie once. It… wasn’t very good. But I was proud of it at the time. And, most importantly, it further taught me how absolutely difficult it can be to produce a film of any length or quality. I had made a few other films for classes in high school, and those were even worse … Continue reading The Littles Review
SCREAMBOX Original horror series The Trouble with Tessa debuts with a two-episode premiere on July 15. The show follows a disgraced documentarian who unearths a box of old tapes and sets out to unravel the dark secrets buried in a seemingly perfect town’s past. It’s been a while since I got to review a Screambox television series. I do love when they send me movies … Continue reading The Trouble With Tessa Preview
I just recently watched the Kurt Russell vehicle Miracle. That’s… that’s not what this article is about. But it actually takes place at Lake Placid, New York, which is more than I can say for the movie we ARE actually reviewing today. Funny thing: you could actually switch the names of the two movies–call the ice hockey one “Lake Placid” and call the crocodile one … Continue reading Lake Placid Review
