I'm a slave to the cinema and a horror writer who often wishes life was like an old monster movie. And I voted for her.

"What was a really delightful surprise was the casting of George Zucco against type as droll but heroic policeman who is equally at ease trading funny barbs with Ball or giving villains a sock to the jaw... Why couldn't Zucco have gotten more plum roles like this one?" boxd.it/d3vjU1 #FilmSky
A ★★★★ review of Lured (1947)
Warning to Karloff fans: While Lured is a delightful mystery-thriller and Karloff is great in it, he's an early red herring only in two adjoining scenes. Granted, Karloff is featured in the most surre...

Chain Reactions is about more than The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It's about more than horror movies. It's even more than about cinema. It's about art itself, how we find art, and how in turn, art disc...

When people apologize for voting for a obviously racist, sexist, lying, grifting, raping, pedophile felon... I want to hear more than apologies.

"Watering Heights"

I believe the British call that taking the piss out of it.
In a move destined to infuriate copy editors (among other accomplishments), Warner Bros. is insisting that critics use quotations marks when citing the title of Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights.” This is not a joke.

A pair of underachieving 1940s PRC cheapies starring George Zucco, a 108 year old 11 minute Mummy horror comedy, & an early 30s prison escape classic that is still unfortunately all-too-relevant today.

"George Zucco is front and center of another PRC Poverty Row cheapie, but this time in a heroic role... always being the smartest person in the room, dishing out plenty of sardonic asides and standing up for the innocent, a type that Zucco is perfect to play." boxd.it/cZOUnP

"If I Had Legs I Would Kick You is extremely funny about things that you really don't feel like laughing about... a nervous breakdown fed intravenously into the pit of your stomach. We're all Linda once in a while. But only briefly. Linda is Linda every single second."

Chuck!

Democrats want you to retire!

End your career of useless compromise & bending to the whims of wealthy donors!

Take a long look in the mirror and see that you are old, out of touch, & not a wartime consigliere!

Masks need to come off as ICE are held for trial! Prosecute ICE now!

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

You know, I'd probably be into baseball if they got Brian De Palma to direct it more often.

"Brian May of Mad Max and The Road Warrior delivers a good old fashioned horror score that helps bring excitement to scenes of a motionless guy lying in bed. Patrick's habit of spitting in people's faces was borrowed by Quentin Tarantino for the first part of Kill Bill." boxd.it/cY7tcb
