Christine (1983) – John Carpenter
I love John Carpenter movies, and it has been forever since I sat down to watch this one. It’s 1978, and Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) is a bit of a nerd and a joke, his only friend Dennis (John Stockwell) is willing to stand by him no matter what. His loyalty is put to…

I was getting ready…
Silent Night (2012) – Steven C. Miller

A film, that looks simply amazing on blu-ray, colours and details are wonderfully crisp, and I had a really good time with this one. There were two outright homages to the original film,…

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…
