Blitherus Maximus
Letās start with a small confession: I had to stop smoking the Devilās Lettuce years ago, because Iām asthmatic. I found gummies were less deleterious to my lungs. My recent hospital stay would have doubtless been even worse, had I kept using my old skull-shaped bong. So now itās a cheery little gumdrop in the evening to help dispel stress and make easing into sleep easier. Those of you familiarā¦
The Devil Bear (1929)
So last year Gold Ninja Video sent me an email with the following synopsis: A mutiny breaks out in a ship over a chest of gold. In the fracas, the boat crashes along the shore of Ontarioās Lake Superior. From the wreckage emerges a hulking, snarling figure, caged no more! Now, with freedom clenched between its razor-sharp fangs, the furry beast escapes into Canadaās dense wilderness. Where itā¦

Back From Graves and Stuff
Iāve always envied Micky Spillane one thing: his ability to craft a dynamite opening and closing line to his books. Which is a tremendously oblique way to say I had putting this off because I had no idea how to begin this after being away for so long. āIs time for treat, yes?ā Life just got in the way and proceeded to muscle its way into the rest of my time, like a certain little spoiled blackā¦
Noise and Toys
I resisted jumping to my keyboard during the ginned-up controversy surrounding the premiere of James GunnāsĀ Superman because a) I was extremely busy at the time and b) there was already more than enough digital ink being wasted over it. If youāve been enjoying the Patrick the Starfish lifestyle and only just now crawled from under that rock, the kerfuffle was over the fact that Supes is,ā¦

The Movie Travails Continue
THE CONTINUING DRAMA OF THE NERD AND HIS MOVIE COLLECTION or, How Our Narrator Discovered to His Horror A Discrepancy Most Injurious, and Then Proceeded to Solve It, Although Many Factors Weighed Against Him Well, as collectors like myself are all too aware, the Barnes & Noble chain puts all Criterion discs at half-price during the month of July, a month when most people in Texas just sign overā¦
Well, That's Over
I finished the first version of this post just past Memorial Day. Why, you might ask, has it taken so long to actually publish? Well,Ā gestures at everything around. Once again, I want to express my admiration for folks who do this on the regular, no matter what. I, however, am of a weaker bent. If the world is on fire, Iāve a mind to say,Ā nobody needs to hear this. And all the polishing andā¦
Anyway.
GottĀ damn that was a packed three months since Iāve been here last. Letās see how much I want to clutter your life with my travails. Longtime readers (there are a least a couple) will recall that the fallout of the COVID years finally caused me to declare bankruptcy, and for a couple of years that was the norm. The garnishing of my paycheck and my wifeās were good practice for surviving on Socialā¦
Still Among the Living (so far)
Hey, how are you? Well, I hope. Looking out over the current landscape, I donāt know how, but I hope youāre okay. Iāve been meaning to get back here for some time, and given that I fully expect this administration to kill me, either directly or indirectly, I should probably do that sooner instead of later. So when we last left our hero, he was embarking upon a new project (and thereforeā¦

N: Nightshot (2018)
About a third of the way throughĀ Nightshot, my son looked into my office and commented, āThat looksĀ terrifying.ā My response was āDoes, doesnāt it?ā and the rest wasā¦ Hm. Nightshot purports to be an urbex video (thatās urban exploration for all us oldsters), where our host (Nathalie Couturier) leads her cameraman through an expansive, abandoned hospital while talking about the history of theā¦

M: Maybe Next Year (2023)
Iām actually surprised I managed to get this far. Iām still the only guy doing what I do at work (I have announced I am no longer interested in auditioning for the role of Superman, with my supervisorās full support), Iāve been freed from the onus of most of the City meetings this month, and it still hasnāt been enough. As a brief interruption several hours later, the various paperwork snafusā¦

L: Last Radio Call (2022)
Sarah Serling (Sarah Froelich) is on a mission: in 2018, her husband, police officer David Serling answered a call to an abandoend hospital, and disappeared. Only his damaged body camera was recovered, and ever since, no one has been able to help her, especially the police. Sarahās hired a filmmaker to document her search, so thereās your found footage explanation right there. After she hasā¦

K: Kadaicha (1988)
A group of Australian teens have a problem; they are each having the same dream about a tunnel leading to a torchlit chamber covered in aboriginal markings, where a tall figure is chanting. The figure turns, revealing it is a rotting corpse, and it forces something into their hand before they wake in fright. Upon awakening, they find aĀ kadaicha, a crystal inscribed with, again, aboriginalā¦

J: Jack the Ripper (1976)
Klaus Kinski is a deviant weirdo who is a caring doctor by day and a murdering psycho rapist at night. No, thatās the character he plays, but I can see where the confusion lies. Jack the RipperĀ is a Swiss/German film directed and partially written by Jess Franco. The poster proclaims āOnly NOWĀ Can It Be Shown Like THIS!ā, meaning that Kinksi can now rip off all an actressā clothes before rapingā¦

I: If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? (1971)
It may not be the classic definition of a Hubrisween movie, butĀ If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? is a prime example of a conservative horror story. Of course, Stephen King has already posited thatĀ all horror stories are ultimately conservative, but this is a horror movie designed to strike fear in a certain demographic. This is the title of a sermon delivered by Mississippi Baptistā¦

H: House by the Cemetery (1981)
I have questions. Itās tempting to just letĀ that be the review, but whereās the fun in that? And thatās what weāre here for, right?Ā Fun. About that. I saw House by the Cemetery back when it was released on VHS. Didnāt think much of it. Years later, I would find out that transfer had the reels out of order.Ā Ah. No wonder. Though I assigned re-watching it in its intended order aĀ very low priority,ā¦

G: The Great Buddha Arrival (2015)
This is a curious movie. It is based on a 1934 movie of the same name, which is presumed lost in the bombings of World War II. It featured a giant Buddha statue standing up and walking around Japan. Yoshiro Edamasa, the director, used trick photography to get the images, and produced not the first kaiju flick, but almost certainly the first tokusatsu movie. A video editor working on a programā¦

F: Feed the Light (2014)
Sara (Lina SundĆ©n) is a desperate woman who breaks into the Malmƶ Institute armed only with a knife and a set of lockpicks. Sheās looking for her daughter, whom her recently-divorced husband has taken into the nondescript building. When the Chief (Jenny Lampa) mistakes her for a new hire, Sara finds that Malmo is much weirder than she thought; her job is to sweep up the sparkling dust that dropsā¦
