December 23, 2008 · My favorite settings for horror movies are those where the majority of the film takes place at night, while its raining, or during winter. There are all kinds of Holiday / Christmas themed lists such as this one or this one, which are both good solid lists, but fairly predictable. However, Stacie Ponder’s “Winter Horror Movies” over at AMC’s Horror Hacker peaked my interest for posting my own list, and then Uncle Lancifer at Kindertrauma... [Keep Reading] |

December 4, 2008 · First post from an airplane, wahoo! I had a chance to catch up on some movies over the Thanksgiving holiday. Sadly, most of the movies weren’t nearly as good as I wanted them to be. I had about nine that I was considering, but only watched six of them. The three I didn’t get around to watching were Killer Movie, Joyride 2, and Home Movie. I think I definitely should have watched Home Movie. The strange thing all the movies I watched had in common were... [Keep Reading] |

December 21, 2008 · Back in the day, when I wrote reviews for general cinema, I felt that pre-existing rating systems didnt give me to ability to gauge the quality of movies as accurately as I wanted. So, with this system, in addition to being able to rate how good a film is, I can also rate how bad a film is. The theme has been changed from stars to apples to match the site. Take a look: 5 Good Apples - One of the best movies of the year 4 Good Apples - Better than the average theatrical... [Keep Reading] |

August 26, 2008 · If you’re wondering what is going on with the lack of updates, it’s mostly due to my hard drive on my main pc dieing. I was working on my main system right before I went to bed the other night when the drive started making this high pitched squealing sound. I shut it off and went to sleep but when I woke up the next day and turned it on, it was still squealing. I grabbed my notebook and jotted down some notes on how my system was setup and just as I...
