I know. I know.  The title of this article is rather salacious.  You will soon find that this has very little to do with the Stanley Kubrick film. This has been a terrible year for me.  I really feel like this was a throw away disaster of a year personally and from a media standpoint as well.  I can’t think of a single sci-fi flick, horror movie, or TV show that was a whiz-bang world mover for me.  In lieu of this I thought I...

Folklore permeates the fabric of our lives.  Stories handed down through the ages that become part of our culture make us who we are.  We don’t think about it much in our day to day activities.  It is usually during special occasions that ritual and traditions are observed in an obvious fashion. We observe some of the oldest and most fantastic of these at this fall time of the year. One of my favorite Halloween traditions is to...

So I love horror and I love black and white films.  Thought I would put together a list of the  old black and white movies that I enjoy.  I left some conspicuous entries out ( i happen to like sound) Dracula (1931) Renfield has arrived in Transylvania to do a job for a particular Count that resides there.  However once he enters Dracula’s home, he falls under the spell and soon turns to serve the Count.  Dracula then travels to...

    I am not just a computer geek but I am a geek on many levels. I am a beer geek, a music geek, a high-definition geek, a book geek, and I finally a movie geek. Lately I have been admiring the folks that bring the movies I love to life.   The great Sidney Lumet’s passing  made me realize how these films and the men that made them affected my life. I decided to make a list, not of the world’s most influential directors, but...

    On December the 19th 1843 a novella written by the most popular author of the Victorian era was published by Chapman & Hall. It has been said that it is the catalyst that both revitalized and restored our nostalgic love of the Christmas holiday.  We all love a good ghost story and when you mix that with old world English dialog and settings it just makes for a fantastic story.    Since the medium of Television has really taken...
