I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …

Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.

The Deaths of Ian Stone
I’m a huge SyFy junkie, so when I watched this movie a while back, The Many Deaths of Ian Stone, I was mystified and captivated. Of course, it’s a made-for-tv movie, so the special effects leave a lot to be desired, but as far as these movies go, it’s …
