About Me

Movies. To paraphrase Akira Kurosawa... There is film, and there is me. I don't think the latter would exist without the former.

This is maybe the coolest fan made video I've ever found on YouTube. Monsters! Creatures! Things! Must watch....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm cool with just about anybody! If you think we have some similar interests then drop me a line.

My Blog

My review of Virus. The Japanese box set release. LONG!

The good news: Romero and Diary of the Dead

I loved Diary of the Dead! I had my doubts, I really did, but I'm thrilled to say that I thought it was fantastic! Very rewarding film. I'm sure many will hate it, but I thought it was 'pure George', ...

The bad news: Argento and La Terza Madre.

Fulci Lives on MySpace! Thanks to Phantamorte.

Feeling the way I do about Fulci and the better part of his body of work I was excited to see that a cool Fulci tribute page has been started by the ghoulish gorehounds otherwise known as Phantamorte....

Hell Night to be remade now.

Yep, Hell Night. With a PG-13 rating. The target audience is a group that has likely not even heard of the original. Much less has any interest in it (TOO OLD!). Brilliant. Prom Night has been seeing...

My all time/all genre favorite movie.

I've been on here for some time now and nobody ever asked before. Now, all of a sudden, I've gotten a couple mails asking at the same time. That's a trip. Anyway, I thought I'd make an entry out ...
