Jack Frost (1997)

I’m starting off my October 2022 with this film because it reminds me of one of my favorite nights. Sometime in 1998, Russ invited me over to his place to spend the night and just play video games and watch a movie. In Video World, our local rental store, we came upon this silly-looking video […]

IT Chapter Two (2019)

I have never seen IT Chapter Two. I loved IT (2017). I bought IT when it came out and intended on reviewing it here. But I delayed and delayed, as I tend to do. There’s no such thing as the right time to do something like that. Now is my time because I am doing […]

IT (2017)

If you know me on any personal level, you most likely know how much I love Stephen King’s IT. My shower curtain has Tim Curry as Pennywise. I am currently wearing a shirt saying “We all float down here”. I have Pennywise cereal, figurines, Funkos, and had long considered getting a Pennywise tattoo. It’s fair […]

The Dead Zone (1983)

I’m pretty sure I saw this once in the late ’90s. I remember the SNL skit parodying the film, and that was delightful. It’s on the Best of Christopher Walken on SNL DVD that I own. The Dead Zone is one of the early Stephen King film adaptations. They even did a TV series that […]

The Langoliers (1995)

I know The Langoliers isn’t great. A lot of people would call The Langoliers below average. I call The Langoliers nostalgic happiness in the form of a mini-series that never truly knew what it was doing. In the same way that I find charm in The Happening, I do derive joy from this mess. It […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 9 “The Circle Closes”

Okay, we get some new original content here. I bet the IMDB scores for this have to be decent, right? The ratings per episode, by episode, starting with 1 and the episode number is in parentheses are: (1) 6.9, (2) 6.6, (3) 6.8, (4) 6.9, (5) 7.0, (6) 6.6, (7) 6.6, (8) 6.5. This episode […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 8 “The Stand”

This looks like the group will be put on trial. That sounds dumb as hell. Maybe it will be funny or better than expected. I also hope to see Kojak help out Stu. That was one of my favorite aspects of the book that the 94 version didn’t show enough of. And of course, this […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 7 “The Walk”

My biggest question for this episode is absolutely ridiculous but important. Can James Marsden fall as cool as Gary Sinise did? I’ve got an Oscar Meyer P3 protein pack with turkey, bacon, and Colby Jack. It’s pretty tasty. Hopefully, I don’t fall asleep. This episode is called The Walk and yet I feel like I […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 6 “The Vigil”

The stage is set for things to happen in Boulder. Harold is now in his sixth episode of plotting and being vengeful. It’s time, dude. More importantly, we finally get to meet Trashcan Man. Why the fuck did it take this long to get to one of the most beloved characters in this story? Ezra […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 5 “Fear and Loathing In New Vegas”

Wait, are we gonna play Fallout New Vegas? Just curious. That game is pretty good, although I prefer 3. To catch you up, Boulder now has electricity, Teddy has been shot and killed by Nadine, Dayna Jurgens, Judge Harris, and Tom Cullen are on their way to New Vegas to be spies, and Harold is […]
