I had been dreading this movie coming up in the rotation for a while now.  Not only is it based on a Lovecraft story (three actually, “The Shunned House”, “Dreams in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490793242244 Fri, 6 Nov 2009 10:15:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490793242244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490679537284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - Of all the Decrepit Crypt movies, this is one of the few I’ve been looking forward to seeing.  But only because it’s from 1971 (released in 1973), so my hope was that, if it’s got to be bad, it would at least be fun bad, you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490679537284 Thu, 5 Nov 2009 12:00:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490679537284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490550169220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - They tell writers the most important thing they can do, aside from write, is to read.  Read everything.  And that’s a rule I try to live by.  While horror is my preferred genre, sometimes you have to step away from that and read... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490550169220 Wed, 4 Nov 2009 10:14:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490550169220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490345500292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - And then there was DR. SHOCK’S TALES OF TERROR.  And  my soul died a little bit in the aftermath. Now, I like a good horror anthology feature as much as the next fan.  I’ve always felt the short form suits horror more than... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490345500292 Mon, 2 Nov 2009 15:39:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490345500292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_489877966468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - I’m all for freedom of expression and creators’ rights and whatnot.  I don’t believe anyone with a hankering for making something out of nothing should be restricted or, worse, stopped from fulfilling their creative desires. ... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489877966468 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:31:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489877966468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_489564376708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - In something of an experimental mood one day, I went to the library and grabbed the first book from various sections. From the regular hardcover section, however, I grabbed two: Edward Abbey’s BLACK SUN (the very first book in the hardcover section),... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489564376708 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:06:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489564376708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_489216577156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - Don’t believe the hype.  When I go into these movies, I always try to find something out about them first, whether on Wikipedia or IMDb or Amazon reviews, and in this case I found a review praising it for its originality and fun.  So I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489216577156 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:10:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489216577156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_488997359236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - There are writers in the world who entertain us, there writers in the world who help us pass the time, and there are writers who show us the way. These are the writers who remind us why it is we do this thing in the first place.

In the Star Trek holy trinity, McCoy has always been the odd man out. Kirk and Spock suffer him because... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~488776633988 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:54:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_488776633988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_488570654340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - Couple of years ago, I got a Robert Johnson CD in the mail from a friend. Included were also two misc. mix cds (one led to my rabid fascination with Tegan and Sara, while the other was pretty good, too, but was overshadowed by the T&S). Eventually I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~488570654340 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:20:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_488570654340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_488463306372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - Like most horror fans, I like a good vampire movie as much as the next guy.  The problem is there are very few truly good vampire movies.  Unfortunately, about 90% fall into the same few categories, all of which were tired before I hit... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~488463306372 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:55:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_488463306372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_488283934340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - The thing I love about library book sales is that you never know what you’ll find. Well, that and if you go on the last day, you can clean up, usually, scoring a box as big as you can transport for only $2. It’s also interesting, I think, how... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~488283934340 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:55:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_488283934340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_488114589316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - (***UPDATE*** I just found out Lee's new Leisure title THE BLACK TRAIN, is this novel in paperback.  Probably not much luck finding the hardcover limited edition of GAST, but the paperback BLACK TRAIN shouldn't be too hard to get. ... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~488114589316 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:41:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_488114589316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487906709124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - It is my opinion that Marilyn Manson should really just stop falling in love. After the dismal mess that was EAT ME, DRINK ME, I wasn’t sure if Manson would ever record another record. And if he did, I prayed it wouldn’t be another messy break-up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~487906709124 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 09:29:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_487906709124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487802113668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - You know, it’s funny but I can’t seem to find another credit on the resume of any of the actors who lent their fine talents to the masterpiece that is TOE TAGS. Writer John Overbey hasn’t penned anymore brilliant scripts with plots that make complete... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~487802113668 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 08:53:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_487802113668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487129452164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - I can’t remember if it was last year, or really early this year, but I remember clearly my cousin telling me she’d heard Prince would be releasing three new albums in 2009. 20 years ago, that would have filled me with elation and I’d... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~487129452164 Sun, 4 Oct 2009 09:06:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_487129452164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487028264580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - Something deadly has come to Tarker Mills, Maine. In January, it takes flagman Arnie Westrum. In February, lonely-heart Stella Randolph. In March, a drifter. In April, 11-year-old Brady Kincaid meets the beast.

But in the case of 2002’s TERROR TOONS . . . I’m stumped. I know the plot, it was simple enough, so that’s not the problem.

And every once in a while, I am presented with a movie that just does not make a lick of sense to me. Not that the plot is hard to follow or anything, but the fact the movie was made at all is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~486795808388 Thu, 1 Oct 2009 06:34:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_486795808388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_486361960068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cdm72 - You ever see a movie on TV, or in the DVD aisle, or see the soundtrack somewhere and think, “Wow, I forgot that movie even existed. And they made a pretty big deal out of it when it came out.” I have a few movies that do that for me.
