Supernatural Season Four: What We Know So Far

Alice Jester — Thu, 9 Oct 2008 07:56:27 EDT

With all this mythology and back story unfolding over the first three episodes, it's time for a sanity check.
Get on your meta hats everyone, its time to tackle some deep questions before moving on to Thursday’s episode, “Metamorphosis.” With all this mythology and back story unfolding over the first three episodes, it’s time for a sanity check. Except I think I’m anything but sane after this exercise. In the heated...

DVD Review: The Foot Fist Way

The Masked Movie Snobs — Tue, 7 Oct 2008 01:18:30 EDT

Grab some beers, invite some friends over, pop this DVD in and enjoy.
Written by Pedrastro del DiabloFor about a year or two now I kept hearing about this low budget comedy called The Foot Fist Way starring an unknown but hilarious actor by the name of Danny McBride. Comedians like Patton Oswalt would talk about it and commentaries on films like Superbad and Hot Rod (both of which Danny McBride appeared in) would...

Top 20 Comic Book Movies of All-Time

Andy Sayers — Mon, 6 Oct 2008 03:16:45 EDT

Ranking the best movies adapted from the world of comics.
I grew up a comic book fan, falling in and out of the habit as I got older. The times in my life where I stopped reading comics didn't have too much to do with the comics themselves (although they probably did at times parallel a downturn in quality in the X-Men, the primary series I collected), but more to do with a lack of funds or my other...

TV Recap: Supernatural - "In The Beginning", Part Two

Alice Jester — Sun, 5 Oct 2008 19:55:57 EDT

Dean finds out what he has to stop. He's not happy.
Read part one of this episode recap. Now for the scene that tears me apart. I realize when Jensen is in a scene he attracts the best qualities of an actor like a magnet (Jared being the best example), but he and newcomer Amy Gumenick had something extraordinary between them. Mary talks dreamily about John, about marrying him, and how about...

TV Recap: Supernatural - "In The Beginning", Part One

Alice Jester — Sun, 5 Oct 2008 17:07:37 EDT

If you watched the debate on Thursday, boy did you miss out. Season four continues its strong run.
Noooooo!!! To be continued?? Damn you… oh, forget it. I’ve cursed Kripke’s name so many times it’s lost all meaning now. Dean was pulled out of Hell to stop Sam! Mary was a hunter! Mary sold Sam’s soul in exchange for John’s life! Dean and Sam’s grandpa rocks! There I go with those damn exclamation points...

These Films Sleep Well: Day of the Dead (1985, George A. Romero)

Joshua Wiebe — Fri, 3 Oct 2008 14:19:51 EDT

While Dawn and Night are respected masterpieces, it's time Day gets the respect it deserves.
Note: In the following review and in subsequent comments or emails I will not acknowledge existence of any and all Day of the Dead spin-offs or follow-ups not involving the director of the original. Talk to any self respecting zombie film fanatic -- and boy, are there a ton of them -- and you'll generally hear one of two things. The first:...

Supernatural: Fan News and Episode Preview

Alice Jester — Wed, 1 Oct 2008 12:21:37 EDT

Reports from Eyecon, an episode three preview, and a bunch of other great stuff. Minor spoilers!
I have more reports from the fandom that never sleeps. The world of Supernatural has been going full throttle for a few weeks, and thanks to messages I’ve been getting personally from various fans, I have some exciting new things to share. I know in my episode two review I promised an in-depth meta discussion, but that’s been delayed...

DVD Review: Mother Of Tears

The Masked Movie Snobs — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:33:19 EDT

The gore is the definitive highlight in this one.
Written by Puño Estupendo For the people of the world with (let us just say) weaker constitutions, the films made by Dario Argento probably aren't too well known. Regardless of if they actually scare you or not, the man's artistry at taking gore to new heights is worshipped by those who have that cinematic bloodlust. Viewers that...

Movie Review: Bigfoot Terror - You're Just A Sensuous Bigfoot

Pat Padua — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 07:32:55 EDT

A look at some of the cryptozoological-themed viewing available for the Sasquatch-hungry home.
With ol' Sasquatch back in the news, an info-hungry community yearns for blood and knowledge. I am here to provide the latter, at the very least, with a look at just some of the cryptozoological-themed viewing available for the home.Bigfoot Terror collects four -- count 'em, four -- motion picture features on Sasquatchian themes on a...

TV Recap: Supernatural - "Lazarus Rising", Part Two

Alice Jester — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:21:45 EDT

Sam uses his powers, and Dean meets an angel. Yep, it's a whole new show.
Its time for another joyous reunion, maybe the best one yet. Who didn’t squeal over Dean’s wide-eyed excitement when he catches the keys and ogles his baby? He climbs into the Impala, running his hands lovingly over the steering wheel, but joy turns to horror when he spots Sam’s upgrade. An iPod jack! Oh come on Dean, you...
