Spectrum Check
This week, I tried to satisfy my household’s penchant for films that traffic in monsters and gore by reviewing Stake Land. As is often the case when dealing with this sort of genre fare, it was ultimately disappointing, the promising, inventive elements ultimately unable to outweigh the portions of the film that were pure retread.

I also reviewed the new album from Vivian Girls, which was a little odd having already worked with the band as performers who played at … Continue reading Spectrum Check
One for Friday: The Actual Tigers, “Standing By”
I’d been away from radio for several years in the summer of 2001 when I finally found myself back in the midst of a faction of the broadcast spectrum that I hadn’t experienced in nearly a decade.

She rides a submarine, she rides a time machine, she rides upon a dream
And here I thought the gun ads that turned up routinely in old comic books were troubling. I wish it had “COMES WITH REAL PLUTONIUM!” somewhere on there. Continue reading She rides a submarine, she rides a time machine, she rides upon a dream
Top Fifty Films of the 80s — Number Thirty-Six
#36 — Prizzi’s Honor (John Huston, 1985) I always think of Prizzi’s Honor of the kind of film that results when old pro cinematic creators settle in and have some fun. I do mean to imply that the film is … Continue reading Top Fifty Films of the 80s — Number Thirty-Six
