Invention for Destruction (1958) One of the finest pop-up books in cinema history (Review)

Redcon-1 (2018) the micro-budget zombie film with ants in its pants (Review)
Here we go again, Redcon-1. A thousand different websites for a thousand different zombie movies all say the same thing, this is one monster who has been exhausted way past the breaking point. In other news, rain is wet. I mock but in the past twenty years, you could probably […]
Bad Samaritan (2018) and the sin of being entertaining (Review)
