*insert Wilhelm scream here* Who hasn't fantasized about meeting a celeb? I know I have, and in this age of social media it's more possible than ever, at least on some level. That can be pretty cool. Or not, but I won't mention any names. It's kind of an odd mix of navel-gazing and fairy … Continue reading Who’s Your Tad Hamilton?

I’ll Be Home For Life Day
Think you've seen all the Star Wars movies? Which one is your least favorite? Do you even have a least favorite? Whatever your answer is, chances are it doesn't stack up to the Star Wars Holiday Special. Well, except for those Chinese Star Wars bootlegs, but we'll get to that on another day.

Fin the Sharkchaser
Did we really need another Sharknado movie? Yeah, no, probably not, but we got six of 'em, all of varying degrees of badness. Today, though, we're only interested in 2016's Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens, because the number four is obviously a thing for our So Bad It's Good extravaganza this year. Amazon's description of this film makes … Continue reading Fin the Sharkchaser

Bad On Purpose?
The badness is back, y'all... Who else thought (or thinks) M. Night Shyamalan was going to be the next Hitchcock? I sure did. Night likes macguffins and making cameos in his own films, plus the camerawork in Signs was very silent film-esque, with characters reacting to unseen horror. Even The Village grows on a lot of … Continue reading Bad On Purpose?
Five Reasons To See “Vertigo”
Hello, Miss Kim... Vertigo is, of course, one of Alfred Hitchcock's iconic films. It's got James Stewart. It's got a blonde. Two, actually, because it also features the wonderful Barbara Bel Geddes as the loyal but passed-over Midge. It's got twists. It's got turns. It's got a gorgeous score by Bernard Herrmann. It's based on a … Continue reading Five Reasons To See “Vertigo”
Lauren’s Big Break
Time to look for some clues, all... The hard-boiled detective trope really came into its own during the 1930s, and one of its patron saints is Raymond Chandler, whose Philip Marlowe graced the screen several times, as well as books and radio. One of these is 1946's The Big Sleep, starring Humphrey Bogart, who turned hard-boiled … Continue reading Lauren’s Big Break

Five Musically Important Scenes In “Raiders Of the Lost Ark”
Here we are... One of John Williams's best-known works is 1981's Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was the first time George Lucas's iconic character was seen by the public, and as anyone who has watched the film can attest, it's something special. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it hits all the right … Continue reading Five Musically Important Scenes In “Raiders Of the Lost Ark”
