    Review A Moment to Remember

    Ouch! I'm sure for someone who hasn't seen the movie at all, the extended cut would be just fine. But watching them back-to-back (as I have on two occasions) makes it clear that the theatrical version is better. I'l love to hear what you've got for recommendations regardless of which might...

    Review A Moment to Remember

    For Monday's review, I'm going back to Korea. Many people, when asked "what does Korea do best?" in movies, might say...melodrama. They cornered the market for a while. Below, I review one of the best. A Moment to Remember (2004) Directed by John H. Lee Starring Woo-sung Jung, Ye-jin Son...

    I assume you mean The Long Walk? It's more of a short novel than a story; but, yes, I agree it is very good.

    Review A Chinese Torture Chamber Story

    Well, I'm glad I'm not alone! Sometimes HK silliness just has to be seen to be believed. I appreciate the feedback from y'all. I certainly don't expect my reviews to be interpreted as some sort of "watching assignment." I'm mainly trying to introduce some items to either spur discussion or...

    Review No Blood, No Tears

    Ha. I haven't left that phase and don't see me doing so unless she, like, moves to Hollywood and starts making Transformer movies or something. Whenever anyone asks me who my favorite actress is, my easy and immediate answer is Do-yeon Jeon. I find her amazing. She's never been particularly...

    re: The Wailing That's pretty much it, exactly. It's like having a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle with 87 pieces missing. No matter how many times you start over trying to put it together, you won't be able to fill in the holes. The overall picture will be there, but important parts will never...

    Recently Seen, Part 2 (Mar 2017)

    Watched The Wailing last night. I knew next to nothing going into it; only that it was a haunting/possession-type horror with a lot of buzz about it. So I had no pressures or influences on what I was about to see. And...I'm not sure what to think. I wanted to like it more. First off, the...

    Review Special Effects

    One day, when I was a little kid, my dad was excited for a movie that was coming on TV one Saturday afternoon. He had seen it before (likely in the theater) and wanted his son to experience it as well. He knew I was totally into dinosaurs (aren't all little boys?), and we sat down and watched...

    News Harlan Ellison (1934-2018)

    As a writer of short fiction, and especially as an editor, Ellison really assisted the transfer of "Sci-Fi" of the mid-century to the "Speculative Fiction" of the '70s and '80s and beyond. Some of his stuff is so experimental that I don't really care for it, but even so I can recognize how...
