I’ve been writing about Wolf’s Museum of Mystery for a few years now, chronicling my discovery of the place down in Saint Augustine, Florida, to its relocation to New York State, to the tragic loss of the site and much of the contents in a fire a coupla years back. I consider the owners, Wolf…

Maribelle and Blaine had argued most of the drive back from Judith’s and, though he had apologized and been very sweet, and though she had even had sex with him afterward, she found that she still hadn’t let go of it, not all of it. She didn’t like it, the way he acted all proprietary-like…

Take a look at Alexander Skarsgard’s ripped and rugged appearance in the forthcoming film THE NORTHMAN. Looks familiar, doesn’t it? Looks a helluva lot like he looked when he played Tarzan, just with a beard and a hatchet. With rumor suggesting that one of the reasons we never saw a sequel to THE LEGEND OF…

What were they thinking? I mean, really? What could possibly have led anyone to think that opening this movie this past weekend was a good idea? Chalk it up to one of the worst ideas in movie release history. As surprised absolutely no one, Guillermo del Toro’s NIGHTMARE ALLEY got trounced at the box office…

Have you wondered why Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Denis Villeneuve, and Ridley Scott are being such jackasses, insisting on badmouthing the Marvel Cinematic Universe? It’s because they’re scared. Simple as that. They aren’t worried about superhero movies somehow “tainting” *true* cinema. They might claim that, but it isn’t true. They couldn’t care less about that.…

Amman lay on his bed, in the dark. *Hurts…* Mother would come soon with the morphine. It didn’t seem to do as much good as it used to. Hurting, always hurting. The pain was a constant companion, and a constant reminder. *Singh did this to me.* Amman felt unease in addition to the pain. The…

Reports are that Marvel is realizing that it backed the wrong horse. Personally I think it was a mistake for them not to recast the role of T’Challa in the new BLACK PANTHER movie. It could have been a T’Challa from an alternate universe; that way they could have kept Chadwick Boseman’s character sacrosanct and…

You missed the boat, Guillermo! And that’s unfortunate. For us viewers, I mean. Because as good as the remake of PET SEMATARY was, I daresay I speak for all of us when I say we’d love to have seen what you could do with the property. Guillermo del Toro recently told the folks over at…

This linked article makes me fightin’ mad. Why? Why should it set my teeth on edge? Because it is, at its most base level, a threat. It is threatening to take something away from me. My options. My ability to watch certain movies. And I’ll fight you over that. “Why Do DVDs Still Exist?” the…

Have you ever seen that bumper sticker that says “Hunting is only a sport if you arm the animals”? I haven’t seen one in years, but I do remember seeing it in my youth. I always agreed with the sentiment, though. While I acknowledge that sometimes—sometimes—hunting can serve a function—like in my home state of…
