It’s no secret that I often find myself pining for the 80s.  I feel more every day that my teen years were the greatest years of my life. I miss it lots.  I started listing the movies from the 80s that  knew by heart.  I don’t just mean the actors or the story but also the lines, the colors, the bad edits.  Movies I have seen over and over and over again.  Memorizing every little nuance.      An amazing thing...

           So I have to go back to the old office tomorrow.  I am ready.  I feel like I have had a great holiday.  I feel like I have never been closer to my family and my friends.       All this time off has given me an opportunity to get all caught up on my movie viewing.  Here is a quick breakdown of my opinion on some of the newer films floating around out there.  Most of my friends know my rating system for...

One of the most plausible explanations for vampire myths is the disease porphyria, which occurred frequently in Transylvania. Porphyria is a blood-related condition where a vital function of blood cells is lost. This results in rapid tissue damage, giving the victim a ghastly pallor and enlarged teeth due to...

 Last weekend I had the pre-Halloween fever pretty bad so I procured an early copy of a movie that will be released on October the 6th. If you like horror flicks and enjoy Halloween this movie will thrill you. I liken it to George Romero directed Steven King written Creepshow films (another Halloween classic).
