Is the 1980’s the best decade for cinema? I’m not saying it is, or that I agree with the sentiment. But I know a lot of folks that would support the notion. It’s a decade full of beloved classics and tons of nostalgic gems. And I’m not going to lie; there’s a lot of comfort food there for me as someone who was born in … Continue reading The Breakfast Club Review
It’s time to review another movie coming to Screambox, as we take a look today at the Brazilian horror feature, A Mother’s Embrace, which will be dropping on the service on 9/16/2025! A Mother’s Embrace is directed by Cristian Ponce, and it starts off in the childhood of our protagonist, Ana. She and her mother start off at home–where her mom makes Ana guzzle down … Continue reading A Mother’s Embrace Review
Every so often, you find a movie that doesn’t quite belong on the streaming service on which you find it. To that end, my wife and I just watched the 1999 film Jawbreaker… on Shudder. The same Shudder that specializes in horror offerings. And it was showing the black comedy film Jawbreaker. It didn’t make loads of sense, but that’s where we found it. Every … Continue reading Above The Knee Review
I do so love these Blast From The Past reviews where I take a look back at films from all different timeframes of cinema. I’ve done the very recent history with movies like La La Land, and I’ve gone back to the beginning of Hollywood with flicks like The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari. Today, I’m going back, but not TOO terribly far, as this is … Continue reading Excalibur (1981) Review
I actually remember Tommy Boy getting released back in the 1990’s, as well as how little I ever wanted to see it. I am really not sure why that was. I was a Saturday Night Live fan of the era, and I usually enjoyed the early 90’s cast as “my” era of the show. I wasn’t always a fan of Chris Farley, but I dug … Continue reading Tommy Boy review
I’ve never had whatever genealogical advantage it is to be a male in America and have a car fetish. I’ve just not had any desire to look at cars or purchase cars or race cars or compare cars. It’s all very expensive and boring to me. My car takes me where I need to go, and that’s about all I know about it. But some … Continue reading Eenie Meanie Review
I often forget that AMC+ is its own whole streaming service. You see, we access Shudder through AMC+, so the vast majority of the time, when I am turning on AMC+, it’s to immediately scroll down several bars and get to the Shudder button. In our household, we live or die with Shudder, and it’s one of our most used streaming services on our televisions. … Continue reading Tornado Review
Have you ever put off watching a movie longer than you probably should have? It was over a month ago at this point that I initially saw Summer Of 69 floating around Hulu as a potential viewing option. I pondered it, considered it, but ultimately discarded it in favor of something else. And since then, at least two or three times, I would be scouring … Continue reading Summer Of 69 Review
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
Are there movies for which you have seen most of the noteworthy scenes just due to their ubiquitousness in pop culture, and so you have decided to put off ever watching the whole picture? I remember finally watching John Carpenter’s The Thing a few years ago, and a movie that should have been an absolute banger for me got downgraded slightly (calm down! I still … Continue reading The Great Dictator Review
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
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
Uncontained infects SCREAMBOX exclusively on March 11. A mysterious drifter struggles to protect abandoned children from an infection that turns people into a feral-like state. It’s been over twenty years since the zombie film experienced its revival in the early 2000’s with outings like 28 Days Later, Dawn Of The Dead, and Shaun Of The Dead. Leading up to the massive success of those entries, … Continue reading Uncontained Review
Man, seeing RRR a couple of years ago really opened up a whole new world of cinema for me. Ever since then, I occasionally switch on the ol’ Netflix and just search for “Bollywood” or “India” and see what turns up and looks good. It’s how I’ve found other movies I have reviewed like Salaar and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. And without having heard the … Continue reading Detective Ujjwalan Review
I recently went on a binge–though an unplanned and unexpected one–where I watched a trio of sequels to classic movies from the 1980’s in the span of less than a month. And while this review in particular is going to be primarily about the most recent one I watched (Lethal Weapon 2), I’m going to be touching on all three in bits since it was … Continue reading Lethal Weapon 2 Review (And The 80’s Sequels Edition!)
