2006 horror, dir. Neil LaBute, Nicolas Cage, Kate Beahan: IMDb. Not the bees! Spoilers.
Masterplan (2026) • View trailerThree stars (out of five); rated TV-MA, for mild profanity and dramatic tensionAvailable via: Amazon PrimeBy Derrick Bang • Published in The Davis Enterprise, 10.25.26 Nothing is blatantly wrong with this larkish, lavishly produced heist thriller. Cinematographer Matteo Cocco lovingly lenses the Rome and Paris location settings, particularly the latter’s Palace du Louvre, and its iconic glass-and-steel pyramid entrance. Production designer Paki Meduri devotes…

Jessica Clark in Dolly, Omnibus Theatre. Photo: Carla Joy Evans Dolly at the Omnibus Theatre is not always an easy watch; it references many incidents from the uncomfortable to the downright terrifying that women endure at the hands of men. The sad fact is that there will likely be something that is familiar to every woman in the audience. We first meet Dolly (Jessica Clark) when she is doing stand up. She uses crowd work to set the scene and launch into the story of what happened at her other…
We are delighted to showcase as a guest post this richly interesting and and remarkably useful guide to the BBC drama series Centre Play by our friend and television scholar Billy Smart (who himself blogs here). Our thanks to him for permitting us to share more widely his reflections that were originally compiled for a group of friends and colleagues. We very much hope he will contribute other posts that draw on his extraordinarily extensive viewing and deep understanding of the history of…
Meh. I appreciated the lack of jump scares, and I liked the location very much… But the tension did not fully get to me. Rating: 🫤Hey, thanks for reading my blog via the RSS feed! Feel welcome to get in touch!
Heading into the homestretch here, and I like doing more double features. Just like being at the old 67 Drive-in! For tonight’s double feature I am going back to my college days with a pair of slashers set in sorority houses, namely 1982’s The House on Sorority Row and the 1986's Sorority House Massacre.They are not subtle films by any means; honestly, they are just excuses to have college girls run around in various stages of undress, but both have ideas I can get behind, especially for my own…
“Let the country make the railroads and the railroads will make the country.” –Edward Pease Misaki formally joins the Railway Exploration Club, and to celebrate their new member, Kodama, Ushio and Usa go to an izakaya. Here, Kodama chooses the club’s next destination, the Choshi Electric Railway line in Chiba prefecture. After arriving, Kodama immediately […]
Sourfaced Louis Koo leads a hitman squad, staging deaths as accidents, along with older Uncle, female Woman, and Lam Suet. They pull off their latest job – electrocution via kite string – but Uncle is losing his marbles, then an out-of-control bus plows into Lam Suet. Louis starts tailing people involved with the job, convinced his team is being taken out by a rival. He thinks Woman is against him so he kills her, then their final client falls from a window. Gorman: “Master of the surveillance…
"The fruit shall set you free!" Victor declared during The Traitors: New Blood episode 7. But NBC won't free us from its bonkers schedule so we have to wait a week to see the pardon play out.
Liam is the local male prostitute, biking between clients, everyone in town paying each other for sex on an app called Snaxxx. His girl Thea is having sex with guy Ray whose kid colored his face with marker, then she pops back into Ray’s apartment real quick and maybe murders him in the brain. Soon all their clients are dying, and Liam is the prime suspect. There’s a tiny bit of style via split-diopter giallo murderer shots and film-end flares, but I don’t mean to make the movie sound cooler…
by Cláudio Alves Olivia de Havilland won Best Actress twice in the late 40s. First, for Mitchell Leisen's TO EACH, HIS OWN in 1946, and, then, for William Wyler's THE HEIRESS in 1949. At long last, after a month of endless TIFF and NYFF reviews, the Alternative Best Actress series makes its grand return. For now, let's ease back into pre-fall festival season rhythms with a write-up that considers only four Oscar years, 1946-49. They were those of the immediate post-war, when the Best Actress…
Today’s recording starts with the end of Dennis the Menace. There’s a trail for Live ‘n’ Deadly. There’s some Iain and Dodge nonsense (three helpings today). Then it’s What’s New Scooby-Doo? – Go West Young Scoob. In this episode, the Scooby gang are literally visiting Westworld. A Western-themed town where everyone is a robot. Their train carriage is held up by some bandits, but Fred soon takes them down. Only they were robots, and part of the “attractions”. They’re greeted by Dr Freg, the…
Queer actors turning playwright seem to be having a moment, and after the mixed bag of his debut BLACK SUPERHERO Danny Lee Wynter follows it up with a major step up that suggests he's as much of a natural writer as Jack Holden and Jordan Luke Gage. The titular character of the semi-autobiographical Ilford Boy is 14-year-old Ted (Leo Whitfield Harris,) who lives in East London in the middle of a multicultural family. It's 1996 and he and his mum Tillie (Ria Zmitrowicz) have been staying at the…
I’ve written before about Michael Powell, in his documentary RETURN TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, sitting on a seacliff and describing documentarists as “failed poets,” which feels very much like a reference to documentarist Humphrey Jennings, who was a poet (and surrealist painter) before becoming a documentarist, and who died falling off a cliff.

FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS, VIPER: Tom Skerritt Dead: Picket Fences and Alien Star Was 93
If you have an aversion to gook and gore, you'd do well to skip Clayface, the latest big-screen addition to the DC Comics universe. It may help to think of the movie as a specialty item, an under-hyped comic book offering that mixes body horror and low-grade sci-fi as it streams bloody set pieces through a revenge-oriented tale. Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen, a handsome actor whose career is about to take a forward leap after he receives an Oscar nomination. Humbled by recognition but also…

My quest to identify all the decorations displayed on the Double R Diner set continues with a framed patriotic image seen throughout the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. This vintage print contains a poem first published in 1902 and later became popular during World War I. “YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG” HALLMARK MOTTO PRINT AT... The post Twin Peaks Set Decoration – “Your Flag and My Flag” Hallmark Motto Print at the Double R Diner appeared first on TWIN PEAKS BLOG.
I wanted to do these two movies back-to-back since they are more connected to each other than they are to the first movie. The original Poltergeist is not just a great horror movie; it is a great movie, full stop. Spielberg shows the promise here that will earn him the accolades he gets with ET and Shindler's list. Sadly, Poltergeist directors Brian Gibson (II) and Gary Sherman (III) don't quite live up to the bar Spielberg set, but then again, who can? But if you ignore the first movie and…
Today’s recording starts with the end of League of Super Evil. There’s a short episode of Newsround. Deadly 60 – Bahamas – Shark Special. Steve Backshall swims with some Caribbean Reef Sharks. He meets a Baby Shark (do do do-do do-do). A Lemon Shark in this case. He swims with a Tiger Shark. He meets a lot of adult Lemon Sharks. More Tiger Shark Action. Media Centre Description: Naturalist Steve Backshall heads to the Bahamas in order to get up close and personal with a whole bunch of sharks.…
Finally, Bravo's RHONY is good again! E's The Golden Life, with original RHONY cast members? Not so much. My review of both.
It's that time of year again.I always feel some pull to do at least one Halloween post in the spirit of the season, and thankfully there were a rich supply of vintage made-for-TV horror and suspense films to debut in the Comfort TV era. The hardest part is choosing which to highlight. This year let’s look at “Don’t Go to Sleep” from 1982 – or best not to look if you’re easily unsettled. This one will scare you, right up to a final scene that is pure nightmare fuel.Dennis Weaver and Valerie…
