Remake Revulsion

I thought I was immune to the remake outrage. I laughed at my fellow horror friends who get super-outraged at every new attempt by Wes Craven to cash in on his own legacy by whoring out his old titles. After all, some remakes are good. THE RING, for instance. I happen to like the new [...]

I Walk, Benign

Last night, I went downtown to the Grammy Museum, which was showing a little something called JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON.

I was excited – a legendary concert by a legendary man. Forget Joaquin Phoenix, this was going to be the real Johnny on the big screen.

Well…not so much.

The movie called JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON [...]

BREATH OF HATE – set report

(photo credit: Chad Clinton Freeman)

Keeping my three-for-three record intact as far as Sean Cain movies go, I spent Monday making my cameo in his new project BREATH OF HATE, starring Jason Mewes. Yep, Sean got a real bona-fide movie star in this one. And Jason Mewes too! (kidding – I love me some Mallrats)

Sean had [...]

From my photo archives

LYT with Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, at last year’s Comic-Con after-party for Mutant Chronicles, hosted by AICN.  Note that I am bigger than Hellboy, so if they make part three I should be a villain in it. Also I appear to have a fatter face this year than last, which sucks, as I did spend [...]

Free Crap That Came In The Mail: Zombie Hat

When you work as a writer, publicists sometimes send you free stuff. It can be appropriate, or it can be outlandish (at OC Weekly, I would get press releases suggesting I do a story on patio furniture…almost daily).

I think it’s fun to post about such things. The Weekly ended the feature once I left, so [...]

DVD review: CANNIBAL FEROX a.k.a. MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY

I’ve made no secret of my fondness for this movie, and am glad to own it. But I have mixed feelings about the DVD.

CANNIBAL FEROX is basically director Umberto Lenzi’s rip-off of Ruggero Deodato’s controversial and ground-breaking CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, which arguably inspired THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT many years later. But where Deodato’s movie was grim [...]

TERMINATOR 4 review

Here’s the opening:

“If you have somehow avoided seeing any trailers or clips from Terminator Salvation, do yourself a favor and try to avoid reading anything about it. Don’t even look at the action figures in the toy store. Seriously. The movie’s marketing has gone out of its way to blatantly spoil a major mid-movie revelation [...]

I DRINK YOUR BLOOD dvd review.

It almost seems crazy in retrospect — and probably will still to those of you too young to remember — but there was a time in our very recent pop-cultural history that people were scared stiff of the threat posed by Satanism.

Yep, Satanism. Heavy metal music supposedly contained subliminal messages about the devil if you [...]

E! reviews this week.

Probably both movies you’ve never heard of, but hey, try to guess them anyway…

“Like any misunderstood religious group, the Santa Muerte cult—that in reality is mostly adopted by convicted prisoners—makes an easy target for a lil’ religious slander in the name of cheap scares.” (ANSWER)

“”When a beautiful businesswoman breezes into town, a local motel owner’s [...]

I review the new STAR TREK movie

Key point, coming from me:

“Kirk (Chris Pine) is now a bitter fatherless rebel, but Pine expertly incorporates all the classic Shatnerisms without doing a direct impersonation—quite a feat.”

Read the whole thing.
