Be A Fan
I think I have this same sort of feeling after every event I’ve put on myself or helped put on - Why? Why do it? Why put in the time, and the hours, and the money when the results can be…disappointing at best? This isn’t an O-Woe post, but a reality check for myself. I… Continue reading Be A Fan

TAHOE JOE – found footage review
It's been interesting in checking out so many found footage films in recent years because I have started to see trends develop. One of these trends is the frequency good old Bigfoot has become the focus for these films. I get it, you can film in the forest and have a built in set, you… Continue reading TAHOE JOE – found footage review
Airing it Out
There’s something about modern humans where we need constant validation. We need attention, and ‘love’, and an audience. It’s part of what we are as a species but it’s also learned behavior in our social media age. So many of us are giving partial attention to one another - always on our phones, scrolling, texting,… Continue reading Airing it Out

BURIAL GROUND – The Nights of Terror – review
Look, if you ever called BURIAL GROUND ‘The Nights of Terror’ then I got nothing for you. You just, man, you just…I got nothing. Nights of Terror. Oof. Anyway. I recently popped for the 4K import of this amazing monstrosity because I am INSANE. It’s so, so pretty for a movie where they didn’t do… Continue reading BURIAL GROUND – The Nights of Terror – review
The Exorcist – Believer – review
First things first, let’s address the demon in the room. To approach this movie on the same level you do THE EXORCIST isn’t fair. Let’s get that out there. Much like Green’s HALLOWEEN was not a 1:1 to the original. The original HALLOWEEN hit at the right time, with the right approach. It’s a masterwork… Continue reading The Exorcist – Believer – review
Putting It All Out There
There is this whole line of thought that you have to put something out there, to ‘put it into the universe’ to ‘manifest’ it. So if you want to be rich you are just like - I want to be rich. If you want to be loved you say - I want to be loved. … Continue reading Putting It All Out There
Eclectic Funeral
One of those strange things we have to wrestle with as we age is that one of the rare times, and for many of us the only time, we will be celebrated (hopefully) is at our funeral, a thing we can’t consciously attend. We can’t even dictate what it really is, or means. We’re just… Continue reading Eclectic Funeral
Peace
It’s a natural part of getting older that we start to think about the end. Especially when a marital partner and kids enter the equation. In all honesty, it becomes a heavier and heavier burden as we age because we begin to see the people we love leaving us, whether we’re ready for them to… Continue reading Peace
EMBEDDED – found footage review
It really is interesting to note trends in found footage. There are some well trodden themes and locations and EMBEDDED hits on two of them - the woods and cryptids. I get it, found footage has certain parameters that can feel a bit like a cage, I'd imagine, and shooting a movie in the woods… Continue reading EMBEDDED – found footage review
