I'll admit, this is the first thing I thought of when I saw the Inventory.

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like a Fiasco to me.

Read The Lost, Red, She Wakes. Really liked the first two, not so much the last. A lot of Ketchum's novels seem to revolve the same premises… Lots of disturbed Vietnam vets in what he writes. He's good but seems to only have one or two points to make. Of the splatterpunk authors I've read, I'd rank him below Clive…

I love Lucky McKee. "May" is one of my favorite films and one of the best horror films of the 00s. And "The Woman" was spectacular. It's really late at night and I'm tired so I won't go into it, but it's just absorbing and shocking and succeeds at everything it sets out to do. It's his best film since "May" and will…

Parts of the film do come off as a little too quirky-for-quirky sake. But everyone in it is a fully realized character, especially May. I don't see how you can say it's a shallow film. McKee makes horror films that are actually concerned with characters. He's a rarity in the genre and film-making in general.

I loved the film, really adored it, but I agree that the music was a little too on the nose. It's a problem McKee has had with all of his films.

"Captain America" is probably my favorite film of the year, thus far. (Still a lot stuff to see and catch up on.) What an effortlessly entertaining film.

While I agree with a lot of the original article's points, I don't know if the "getting soft with age" adgit works with everyone. If anything, Dario Argento relies more on shock treatment and gore then ever. How many kids have he killed recently? I don't know how the same guy who made "Deep Red," one of my all-time…

Does that really count though? It's not as if "Drag Me to Hell" was the latest horror classic from a master of the horror genre. Raimi hadn't made a horror movie since "Evil Dead 2," thirty some years ago. And he hasn't really made a real horror movie since the original "Evil Dead," including "Drag Me to Hell."

Incorrect. If anything, the "Maniac Cop" franchise is a rare example of a film series that actually gets better with each sequel. Maniac Cop 2 has got an actually undead Z'Dar, a crazy stripper slasher, chainsaw duel, and the "Maniac Cop Rap." Maniac Cop 3 has got a pre-Rorschach Jackie Earle Haley at his sleazy best,…

This is the DVD release of the year for me. For years and years I've been waiting for a DVD of this, expecting it to be shuffled onto one of the Universal Horror compilations sets they've been releasing almost yearly for about a decade now. But then I find out now only is it coming out on in a special edition, it's a…

1 & 2. No.

In a similar vain, I still have all of my old Animorph books packed up somewhere in the basement. I've been thinking about maybe going through and re-reading them someday. I was obsessed with the series when I was in the ten to twelve bracket. I'm wondering what they'll read like today from an adult perspective. I…

As an expert on the topic, I feel like my opinion is called for here.

I came up with an idea for a sitcom a while ago: "The Normals." It's "the Munsters" in reverse, with a group of normal people moving into a neighborhood of monsters. Hi-Larity ensues.

This is actually an early horror classic. The review really seems to undersell that. It's a good film with a creaky, mean-spirited atmosphere. It's the lesser of the three Paramount horror films mentioned with it, but I still think it's pretty good. You can get it in a boxset from the TCM store with a couple other…
