VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU RAY RELEASE: The Screaming (2000)
Bob Martin (Vinnie Bilancio) is your average college kid with bad skin, worse grades and a diet consisting mostly of instant ramen and existential dread. That all changes when he moves into a spare room owned by Crystal Traum (Wendi Winburn). She’s the kind of ice-cold blonde who looks like she stepped off a 1940s […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU-RAY RELEASE: Vampire Time Travelers (1998)/I Know What You Did in English Class (2000)
I’ve never seen any of the movies that director and writer Les Sekely has made like Night of the Living Date, The Not-So-Grim Reaper and The Alien Conspiracy: Grey Skies, but I have seen this and I totally am hunting for the rest. This movie feels less like a narrative movie and more like someone made a Dark […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 11: Heavy Metal 2000 (2000)
April 11:Heavy Metal Movies — Pick a movie from Mike McPadden’s great book. RIP. List here. The year was 1992. Kevin Eastman, who, along with Peter Laird, helped turn four turtles and some ooze into a global empire, decided he needed a new sandbox. And not just any sandbox, but the glossy, psychedelic and often scantily-clad […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE ON TUBI: I Know What You Did in English Class (2000)
Directed and written by Les Sekely (Vampire Time Travelers), this is similar to that film and this quote that I used to describe that one is even more accurate: “This movie feels less like a narrative movie and more like someone made a Dark Brothers or Rinse Dream adult movie mainstream, giving it constant blasts […]

The Gift (2000)
Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett) is psychic. While supernatural films can’t always be giallo, psychic abilities are generally alright, as seen by the inclusion of Fulci’s film of the same name. There are so many rules. Anyway, she mainly uses her powers to help people who have a rougher life than she and her three children, […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 27: Ginger Snaps (2000)
27. A Horror Film That’s a Metaphor for Puberty Directed by John Fawcett and written by Karen Walton, from a story they jointly developed, Ginger Snaps is the most puberty-referencing horror that I can think of. Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald (Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle) are death-obsessed teenagers who promise to run away before they turn […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000)
Aug 11-17 Whoopi Goldberg Week: She’s become a corny tv lady these days, but let’s not forget that at her peak Whoopi was one of the funniest people alive. Man, the 2000s TV remakes and reimaginings always start dark. Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose have had a sad life since their show […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Acne (2000)
July 14-20 Vanity Project Week: “…it might be said that the specific remedy for vanity is laughter, and that the one failing that is essentially laughter is vanity.” Are these products of passionate and industrious independent filmmakers OR outrageous glimpses into the inner workings of self-obsessed maniacs?? Directed, written by and starring Rusty Nails, this […]
