I don’t remember this one in theatres, but when it came to home video, this thing was huge! It was a go-to film to play in the store, because it had great tunes and quotable dialogue, and it’s just so much fun. And I think the last time I saw it was probably sometime in…

From a Buick 8 (2002) – Stephen King
For some reason this Stephen King novel seems to keep slipping off my list, and I don’t know why. I stopped it sliding off this time, and dug into a creepy and fun novel that feels like it’s on the edge of other King stories without throwing you right in the middle of one. It’s…
The Exorcist’s House (2022) – Nick Roberts
Nick Roberts’ The Exorcist’s House is a fun idea, and it’s filled with little nods to the genre and the tropes, particularly William Peter Blatty’s original novel The Exorcist. But for all that, it seems to be a popcorn horror book. It’s fun, though some of it feels like it goes a little too far…
Masters of the Universe (2026) – Travis Knight
First off, I quite enjoyed this one. It’s a fun popcorn movie that doesn’t take itself to seriously, and leans into its inherently fun nature. That being said, I had a couple of miscasts that kind of knocked me out of the film on occasion. I adore Allison Brie. But I feel she was completely…
Cult of Chucky (2017) – Don Mancini
Don Mancini wrote and directed the last film entry in the original Chucky series. And let me say, I love that opening with Alex Vincent returning as Andy, and what he and Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) are up to. Nica (Fiona Dourif) is being held in a mental health hospital because of the events…
House (1977) – Nobuhiko Obayashi
It took me forever to get around to seeing this one. And I openly admit to having built it up in my mind, and was worried that it wouldn’t stand up to what I thought it should be. And while it wasn’t really horrific, it was a laugh-out-loud horror film that plays as part satire,…
The Devils (2025) – Joe Abercrombie
I was absolutely charmed by this book. It’s like the Dirty Dozen goes on a fantasy quest, and nott only is it filled with great beats, solid action, and fantastic characters, it also has an incredibly sharp with. The narrative follows Brother Diaz, in a medieval world not quite unlike ours, he’s been given a…
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) – Paul W.S. Anderson
Ok. Sure it took me ten years to get to the final chapter of the Resident Evil franchise. But it was worth it. I’ve always enjoyed these movies for the escapism they provide. They’re bloody and violent, and put women in strong leading roles letting them kick ass. I’ll always settle in for Milla Jovovich…
The Naked Gun (2025) – Akiva Schaffer
I never would have thought it before, but after seeing the first trailer, I thought, of course Liam Neeson can play the new Frank Drebin! And honestly, throughout the course of the film, it just feels like he’s having a great time. Taking a page from the original Naked Gun films, and its launching point,…
Cold Storage (2026) – Jonny Campbell
David Koepp has his fingerprints on some of the biggest movies ever, he’s scripted some very succesful films. You know he can tell a story. His novel, Cold Storage has been on my to be read shelf for quite some time now. So long that it seems he’s had time to make a movie version…
