Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)

We’re well into the 1980s with the 101 Horror Movies list, and Michael Rooker takes center stage as a psychopathic killer named Henry, based on murderer Henry Lucas Lee. I found this one fairly easy to get through in all honesty, I find the human monsters in horror movies somewhat easier to deal with than…

Once Upon A Time – Season 2 – Episode 1 – Broken

  My excitement level for the return of OUAT has been pretty extreme as of late, and I geared up even more for the season 2 premiere last night by watching the hour-long recap episode that aired right before it, as well!  Two hours’ worth of magic, mystery and mayhem – could a Sunday night…

The Fly (1986)

It’s no real surprise that David Cronenberg appears again on the 101 Horror Movies list. And this time around it’s with his updated, and body-horror version of The Fly. Jeff Goldblum plays Seth Brundle, a scientist on the verge of a brilliant discovery, teleportation via his creation of a telepod. He’s stuck on the reintegration…

Doctor Who S07E05 – The Angels Take Manhattan

  ***SPOILERS BELOW*** This is the episode where we say goodbye to the Ponds. It’s also the episode that showed me why I love Moffat’s writing, because no matter what some tend to think of his stories, and this one is a corker, you’re emotionally attached to these characters. You feel for them, you worry…

Haven: Season 3, Episode 1 – 301

  Well, if the Season 2 finale ended with a bang, then the Season 3 premiere can be said to have blown things wide open!  This episode was an incredible rush from start to finish, and if the rest of the season is at all like its opener, then we are in for a dark…

For A Few Dollars More (1965)

Clint Eastwood returns as The Man With No Name (although the name of his character in this film is revealed as Manco) in Sergio Leone’s follow-up to Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More. Joining Clilnt in Spain for this shoot was fellow American Lee Van Cleef as Colonel Douglas Mortimer. The two men are competing…

Lethal Weapon (1987)

I decided to revisit an action classic. (Edit: And again for the !01 Action Movies) Lethal Weapon, after 25 years, is still awesome. Directed by Richard Donner (Superman: The Movie) stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Gary Busey. It also boasts a script penned by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) who is returning to…

Them! (1954)

Ok, well they can’t all be winners. This time, the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list brought me one that just barely held my interest. I just couldn’t get into it. It was about giant ants, so created because they came from the White Sands nuclear testing grounds, and the story was a thinly veiled film against…

Re-Animator (1985)

The 101 Horror Movies strikes again, with this cult classic, featuring genre favoourite Jeffrey Combs. Based loosely on the original tale by the always chilling work of H.P. Lovecraft, the film, directed by Stuart Gordon, is a wonderful over-the-top gorefest. We follow Herbert West (Combs) from an interesting experiment in Sweden back to the States…

The War of The Worlds (1953)

The updated moral of the story may be remember to get your vaccination shots, but this film, a welcome re-discovery on the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list is always an enjoyable watch. Based on the immortal tale by H.G. Wells, the story is updated, and lifted from England, and placed on the Pacific coast of the…
