“It’s that Poppins woman again, isn’t it?!” Yes, Mary Poppins is the short-tempered, ugly-hat-wearing, magical nanny that everybody loves. Upon watching this movie for, probably, the twentieth time, I ask myself the question: Is Mary Poppins some sort of supernatural entity, like maybe an [...]
The Rage: Carrie II

What can I say? I thought the slasher type horror film genre was dead! It’s not, it’s just mutated a little bit. In this film, there was only one gory death scene, and it occurs near the end. It’s worthy of your worst Friday the 13th annoying [...]

It’s hard to make fun of Jodie Foster, even when she’s playing a 35 year old housewife trapped in the body of a thirteen year old. She’s just too good! That having been said, Freaky Friday is another gem of cheesy brilliance from the think tank that gave [...]
Starring: Robert John Burke, Joe Montegna
This was basically a 2 hour episode from “Tales from the Darkside,” but how could you resist a movie from cheesemeister Stephen King? It’s the tale of Billy (Burke), a rather portly lawyer who defends mafia guys. While getting a blow-job from his cheating wife, he acidentally [...]

Have you ever wondered where Scottish cats go when they die? This movie provides answers to all of your feline afterlife questions. I won’t give the secret away, but it involves giant statues and glittering showers of gold sparkles. Besides probing into the life and death [...]
