Let’s get this out of the way: the Blair Witch strategy was on par with the first Jaws trailers. The idea was genius, and though at times slow, was a brilliant act of low budget horror filmmaking. Many folks may disagree with me and those folks can eat a bag of dicks. The living legend Ric Flair once said, “fool me once…shame on me”…

Well, the book(s) came out in 1986 and 1987. The movie has been in on-again, off-again production status for twenty one years. It’s been a long time coming. I remember wearing a Comedian smiley face pin back in junior high, people spraying “Who Watches The Watchmen?” graffiti in MARTA stations – kind of my generation’s version of “Frodo Lives!” How do you take the most acclaimed graphic novel of all time and make a movie of it…

Prince Rogers Nelson made Hollywood remember his name with 1984’s Purple Rain, but left most critics in the cold with his follow-up, Under the Cherry Moon. His next film was a concert documentary entitled Sign O the Times, which earned him praise, albeit not for a dramatic role. So for Prince’s fourth feature film, he decided to go back to what brought him to the table, and make a sequel to his first film…

In 1984, Prince created a cult classic in Purple Rain. Two years later, he decided to follow it up with a nod to 1930’s screwball comedies set on the French Riviera, and got a tepid response. He did, however, manage to introduce to the world a future Oscar nominee in the process, and even got to call her “Cabbagehead”…

I’ll always love Purple Rain. It all goes back to my childhood, where I was such a Prince freak that I joined the “Purple Rain Club” with other kids in my fourth grade class, and we met under a table in the back of the classroom to discuss how wicked awesome we thought the man who would eventually have no name was…

Life got overwhelming, lately. I was about to snap. Thankfully, that’s what friends are for. I had somehow managed to completely miss out on all of the internet hype for this movie. When Chris asked me if I wanted to see something called Snakes On a Plane, I had no idea what he was talking about. I just said, “Oh, hell yes!” Good call on my part….

Reviews. I used to churn ‘em out like a short-order cook with cheeseburgers, but real life got in the way some time ago and I wound up finding less time in which to write them. Along the way, my inspiration sort of fizzled as well. But if there’s anything that can inspire me to crank out some words and stick them in cyberspace, it’s a Kevin Smith movie…

A favorite subgenre of mine has always been the Christmas slasher flick. I’ve reveiwed a handful here at MCFTR over the years, starting with the cult classic Silent Night, Deadly Night several years ago and devoting practically the entire holiday season to the genre last year…

It’s been a while since we dropped in on our old pal, Jack Frost. Last year, in fact, when we reviewed the greatest Mutant Killer Snowman movie that shares its name with a Michael Keaton family film ever to be caught on film…

I don’t claim to be the world’s most respected authority on what constitutes a Zombie, but I think I’m pretty good at knowing when I see one. I will say that if the only thing that seperates a Zombie from its living counterpart is the color of its skin, then I would hesitate to call that thing a Zombie…

This 60’s campfest also went by names such as Zombie, I Eat Your Flesh, and Voodoo Blood Bath before finally being landed with the odd name of I Eat Your Skin. There is, unfortunately, no skin eating anywhere in the movie, but that shouldn’t stop you from giving it a chance…

“Eat a bowl of fuck, I am here to party!” Quite possibly the best reason for seeing Night of the Demons is this confusing yet extremely funny line. It’ll also give you a pretty good idea of what you’re in for if you decide to watch this movie…

Some films tell you exactly what you’re getting right there in the title. One such film is the appropriately titled Chopper Chicks in Zombietown, a fine film distributed from the good people at Troma…

Any true Zombie movie fan will tell you that there are two men who have become synonymous with the genre. Of course, there’s the American master of the Living Dead, Mr. George Romero. But Italy’s favorite son in the world of Zombies is the one and only Lucio Fulci…

As this debate was not shown on C-Span, We here at MC4TR want to keep you abreast of political affairs with correlation to film and bring you, verbatim, the transcript that follows…

While seeking out movies to review for the 2005 Zombie Extravaganza here at MCFTR, I ran across a little Canadian flick called Enter…Zombie King. After reading the description, it was a no-brainer that this was the first on my list of films to see for this particular project…

So I’m watching Pretty in Pink last night. The John Hughes-penned Pretty in Pink. Until recently, I assumed Pretty in Pink was actually directed by Mr. Hughes, but it turned out I was wrong. Howard Deutsch was behind the camera for this one…

Okay, you cotton-headed ninnymuggins. I realize that you may never have
heard of this film, or may have heard of it and never bothered to check it out. Some of you may even actively avoid catching reference to this movie. Screw you guys! This movie is one of my top 5 of all time and I’m gonna freaking talk about it…
