31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween

I'm drinking a beer called Vampire Slayer (brewed by Clown Shoes). This isn't a review, I'm just letting you know that I have a dark, flavor rich beer and you should get some yourself. No, really I'm just here to say, Happy Halloween. We've spent a lot of time together, you and I and it's … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: Rock and Shock (The Prequel)

I know I've already talked about this once already, but I cannot stress enough how excited I am about Rock and Shock. Pinhead and Michael Myers and Jason and Candyman are all going to be in the same room together at the same time. And I will do my best not to call them that … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Rock and Shock (The Prequel) →

Movie Review: Dark Knight Rises

If you didn't see my earlier entry, let me recap here: I really love the Batman movies. The ones by Christopher Nolan. I've been watching them repeatedly since Batman Begins came out seven years ago. I've obsessed over them and in no gentle way. Partly this has to do with the fact that I grew … Continue reading Movie Review: Dark Knight Rises →

Movie Review: Antichrist (Part 2)

I finished watching Antichrist and, as promised, here's the second and last part of my review. After I finished watching it, I needed a hug. It's an emotionally draining movie; filled with disturbing images and grotesque elements. It depicted vile things and at the end, I wasn't entirely sure what I had seen. I don't … Continue reading Movie Review: Antichrist (Part 2) →
