Food of the Gods
The film is loosely based on a novel by H.G. Wells, but reduces the source material to an “Earth Strikes Back” ecology movie, which was popular in 1976 when the movie was released.
DetailsNight of the Living Dead
Night of the Living Dead follows a group of people trapped inside a cabin as zombies attack. The first week of food month we considered food to be human flesh. This week we’re going with that again with a review of a zombie movie, and a great one at that. Why is it so great? Let’s find out.
DetailsFeast

DetailsThe Stuff
A white paste called “The Stuff” sold as desert ends up being sentient. A former FBI agent, a kid, and a marketing manager must stop it. The Stuff isn’t as bad as the recap made it seem. If the purpose of cinema is to entertain, then this is a good film. Let me explain.

DetailsThe Silence of the Lambs
An FBI trainee is tasked with finding a serial killer enlisting the help of a cannibal and former psychiatrist. For those of you who only know Silence of the Lambs because of its most famous quote, this review is for you. I love this movie. Why? Let’s find out.
DetailsCreepshow
Creepshow is a collection of five short films based on the works of Steven King and the EC comics of the 1950s. I’ve watched Creepshow twice, and I never watch movies twice. Why is this movie so special? Let’s find out.
DetailsThe Witches
This is a movie about love and acceptance and how no matter how small you are, you can have a big affect on the world around you. It is a morality tale of finding your place and feeling comfortable in your own skin, even if that skin has fur on it.

The early days of filmmaking were a strange time. People were just throwing things against the wall to see what stuck. As a result, you get both 11 mediocre adaptations of Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde and some excellent films. What good movies came out during this time? Here are my top five.
DetailsThe Wolf of Snow Hollow
“The Wolf of Snow Hollow” represents a progression of the tonal balancing act writer, director, actor Jim Cummings pulled off in his feature debut, “Thunder Road,” utilizing many tools and tricks that weren’t available to him on his previous outing, now with an infinitely larger budget (“Snow Hollow” was produced by Orion Pictures), as well as a game cast of professional actors (Robert Forster, Riki Lindhome, Jimmy Tatro) who seem to really “get” Cummings’ unique style and approach to filmmaking. At the end of the day though, it’s the multi-hyphenate writer, director, actor’s portrayal of Officer Marshall which serves as the glue that holds “Snow Hollow” together.
