APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 1: April Fool’s Day (2008)
Ah, the 2000s, when every decent and not-so-decent slasher was remade. That means that even April Fool’s Day could be made all over again by The Butcher Brothers (Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores), who had just made The Hamiltons. Desiree Cartier (Taylor Cole) is hosting a party for her actress Torrance Caldwell (Scout Taylor-Compton from the Rob Zombie Halloween […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 1: The April Fools (1969)
I think my new obsession is watching movies where Jack Lemmon is flummoxed by modern love.

APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 1: The Jerk (1979)

Beyond the Dark (2021)
Entertainment Squad’s genre label, The Horror Collective has put together an anthology of shorts called Beyond the Dark and while usually a collection of previously released shorts can be a mixed bag, the movies within this series are all quite interesting, which is surprising and gives me hope for anthologies in the future. Episode 1: The Speed […]
Maybe Someday (2022)
