This blog shall stop at nothing and stay there, bringing all undiscerning readers up to date information about significant items of interest and intrigue that will certainly be interesting to someone somewhere at sometime. I shall also try to avoid being vague.
*Since Star Wars is effectively a non-entity and a bit of a joke at this point, I thought I would drag my original post on this film out from the ether, update it a bit but not much, and send it back out into a cruel world. Plus, I had just rewatched the Red Letter …

Now that we are past being up to our sleigh bells as yet another Christmas holiday season fades into the distance, I thought it would be a wonderful time for quiet reflection. Earlier today for instance, I simply stopped what I was doing. I took a deep breath of the crisp winter air. The whistling wind …

The merriest of Christmases to you and yours! I thought that I would close out this series of admittedly wondrous blog posts with a doozy of a Christmas movie. Once again, I have received inspiration from my family and as they are watching the My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas special, I have been spurred to take pen …

Seriously, I was joking. When finishing my last award-seeking blog post for Day 3, I had no real intentions to talk about Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Honestly and truly, it was never my thought! I just wanted to end on a semi-lame, partially weak joke. You know, like I do with most of my postings, if not all …
Well here we go again into the wondrous wonderful world of wonder that we know as the Christmas holiday movie! Frankly, after knocking it out of the park with my first holiday film choice and then being forced to retreat into more conventional holiday fare with my second, I don’t know which way to turn. Sure, I …
Season’s Greetings! Thanks for taking the time during your hectic holiday hustle and bustle to stop over and read yet another one of these admittedly pleasant holiday ramblings! Due to the overwhelming response of fusspots and fussbudgets and other words that start with the same letters, I’ve buckled and decided to talk about a supposedly actual “Christmas …

The Best of the Season to you and yours! What better way to enjoy the festive festivities than to plow through yet another hastily compiled and awkward list of Christmas movies on the Interwebnets! I just want to start out by saying that this list is not going to be ranked in any way. Well, except for …

1989. Just 1989, I tell you. Wow. What a bursting at the seams, jam-packed year in film! In retrospect, it just takes your breath away. And me? Well, I was there and I somehow survived. You see, back in my ancient days, we were pummeled and bludgeoned by the unending supply of blockbusters. Right when …

This post is part of The Bernard Herrmann Blogathon that The Classic Movie Muse is hosting from October 29 through October 31st! As the saying goes, “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.” And a comedy coming from Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense? Well, that must be the hardest comedy of all. The very idea …

As we come screaming into All Hallows Eve, allow me to wish you and yours the very best of the season! May the weather favor your trick-or-treating or, if you have/are weak-in-the-knees parents, your trunk-or-treating. (Insert my sad eyeroll here.) Which reminds me: Parental Trick-Or-Treating ProTip #4: To allay any fears regarding wackos placing poisonous razor-bladed lightbulbs in the children’s …
