As I continue through the 101 Horror Movies, and get closer to present day, there tend to be more and more films that I have already seen, but am happy to revisit. The Birds falls into that category. The man was a master storyteller, and while some of the contemporary horror films can barely hit…

The Human Adventure Is Just Beginning..
Star Trek: The Motion Picture gets a lot of flak, which is regrettable, as I quite enjoy it. People complained about it being slow and ponderous, and untrue to the original series. I have to disagree. Is the films slow moving? It could be construed as such, but I like to see it as getting…
Serial Killer Double Feature – Peeping Tom (1960) & Psycho (1960)
Last night I watched two serial killer films that both seem to have voyeuristic fetishes. Both come from 1960, but are two completely differing films, dealing with murderers. I’ll be honest, until I read the title in that wonderful little book, 101 Horror Movies, I had never even heard of Peeping Tom. I’ll be honest…
I’m Heading Back To The Year 1985… Miami Vice
I spent my formative teen years growing up in my own island paradise, though like all teenagers, I didn’t always appreciate what I had. I think it also explains my love for Magnum, P.I. and Miami Vice. As far as I’m concerned both shows were perfect embodiments of living in paradise, well, more or less,…
New To Me Trek
When Deep Space Nine rolled around the first time, I tried to get into it. It was Star Trek, and I love my Trek. But apparently I was too devoted a fan of the exploration side of the Trek universe, and had already welcomed two crews of the Enterprise into my heart. So after about…
Horror of Dracula (1958)
The 101 Horror Movies book strikes again. A while ago, I had picked up one of those awesome little Warner DVD sets of 4 movies for like $7.99! It featured four Hammer films, one of which was Horror of Dracula, which I re-watched the other night. Based, loosely, on Bram Stoker’s novel, this Hammer film,…
Titanic 3D
So Paramount and associated companies laid out quite the event the other night for Valentine’s Day by giving a select few audiences a sneak peek at the re-release of Titanic in April, newly upgraded to 3D. Now before you heave that sigh, and say 3D, really?? Titanic?? The one thing one needs to remember about…
Tim’s Fave Romantic Films
Valentine’s Day. Well, it looks like we’re stuck with it. Honestly I don’t mind it, but I personally miss the Valentine’s Days of my youth when you made little envelopes to hang off your desk, so your friends and sweeties could slip superhero, Disney, Star Wars, and cartoon cards into it, while you were off…
A Saturday’s Paranormal Activity
Earlier this week at the screening of the new tv series The River, I won a prize pack which included autographed copies of all of three (to-date) Paranormal Activity films. So Saturday morning, while I settled in to do laundry and groceries, I worked my way through all three films. The first is still my…
Kiefer Sutherland Double Feature at The Digital Film Festival
As we know, I don’t have television at home. I put the internet to good use and watch my shows that way. That is why I could go out last night and not have guilt about not watching the Bomb Girls season finale (something I plan to do as soon as I get in the…
