Movie 43

What is Movie 43

This may be the most jacked up yet funny trailer I have seen in a long time.  I have to see this movie now.  Be aware, this is a red band trailer and includes cursing and a naked woman.     http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/10/01/movie-43-peter-farrelly-kate-winslet/ … [Read more...]

Suddenly I can’t live without Plex

Plex Media Server

Back during the summer I created a VM (virtual machine) server.  The idea is that I have a somewhat beefy PC with a lot of storage running VMWare's ESXi server which is an operating system that lets you run other virtual machine on it.  A virtual machine is a self-contained computer that does not actually exist on any physical hardware of its own but is fooled into thinking it does by the VMWare … [Read more...]

Another Thought about Dropping Cable

Cutting Cable

Earlier this week I happened to come across this article about Cutting the Cable: Pay TV Subscribers Turn to Internet.  One of the things it made me think about is that while the number of people cutting out subscription TV altogether is not that high there are also plenty of people who are lowering their subscription levels and augmenting their service with internet based services. Now I am … [Read more...]

Halloween 2012

Sinister

Last year I went out on a big limb.  I watched and reviewed 31 horror movies in 31 days.  A few days I doubled up on movies and took some days off from watching movies all together, but in the end I did what I set out to do and boy was my wife unhappy with me.  This year I did not attempt to repeat that feat fearing for my life.  Instead I stuck with a simpler plan.  I would watch all the … [Read more...]

Werewolf – The Beast Among Us (2012)

Werewolf The Beast Among Us

The title may make you think otherwise but this is really not that bad of a horror movie.  Except there are no scares.  Which really makes it more of a gore/monster movie, but those can be good too. They never really worry about the setting or the time of the story, just realize that their equipment is late 19th century and the dress and country side lends itself to a central Europe type … [Read more...]

The Shrine (2010)

The Shrine

There is not a bunch of guess work.  No major twist to the plot.  No gratuitous nudity (well not much at least, they get away with more than that on Fox).  Just a simple story, straight in its development.  The Shrine starts with the gruesome death of an American traveler in Poland.  His death at the hands of a cult leaves a missing person mystery that journalist Carmen played by Cindy … [Read more...]

Sand Sharks (2012)

Sand Sharks

You saw the title correctly.  This article is about Sand Sharks.  I made fun of this movie when I saw the trailer and talked about it.  Based on the trailer alone?  That is unfair.  I should not mock a film just because of its trailer right?  I should at least give it a chance before I condemn it. Nope.  The trailer was enough because the film is worse. This is not a movie that takes … [Read more...]

The Nun (2005)

The Nun

So what happens to a horror movie fan, suffering from withdrawal and having only Netflix to satisfy his horror movie needs?  Well first that same fan, disgusted by the Netflix selection checks out what is available to him through his Amazon Prime membership.  Then that same horror movie fan is disgusted by what Prime has to offer as well, but then finally settles on something, anything, in … [Read more...]

Walking Dead S3 E1 – Seed

The Walking Dead Season 3

Well Dish Network customers may not be able to watch The Walking Dead but I sure can thanks to my season pass through Amazon.  I purchase each full episode for $1.89.  That may seem like a bit much on the surface but 1) I own the episode and 2) I have it budgeted so that I can buy the episodes for my favorite shows and still save money over cable/satellite each month.  Yeah for me. Now onto … [Read more...]

Black Water (2007)

Black Water

It's that time of year again.  For me at least, it is horror movie season.  Unfortunately if there is one thing Netflix is not good for its horror movies.  Every once in a while you get a crop of them but often times they are horror movies only in the loosest sense or they are so old and crappy as to not be worth the effort to watch them.  I have come across a few of them to share with you … [Read more...]
