It was another light week, but I was still able to post two trailers and two short-write ups. I’m almost ready to get fully back into the swing of things. … Continue reading Day 35: Weekly Roundup – July 31 – August 6

Day 30: Weekly Roundup – July 24 – July 30
As you can tell by the dates from the title, I’m playing a bit of catch up. Don’t fear, though. I am still committed to this project and my schedule … Continue reading Day 30: Weekly Roundup – July 24 – July 30
Day 24: Weekly Roundup – July 17 – July 23
This post was actually supposed to go up last Sunday. For some reason, it never posted. Oh well, better late than never! This week started out particularly rough, with the … Continue reading Day 24: Weekly Roundup – July 17 – July 23
Day 17: Weekly Roundup – July 10 – July 16
It was nice getting back into the swing of things this week, though I don’t have much to report since two out of the three posts came from movies that … Continue reading Day 17: Weekly Roundup – July 10 – July 16
Day 11: Weekly Roundup – June 5 – June 11
After making it through my second week of the new format, I think I’ve come up with a way to keep myself sane. The week started on a high point… … Continue reading Day 11: Weekly Roundup – June 5 – June 11
Day 5: Weekly Roundup – May 30 – June 4
This was my first official week back and considering the fact that I started on Wednesday, I think I did alright. All-in-all it was an interesting mixed-bag of movie: Bleed … Continue reading Day 5: Weekly Roundup – May 30 – June 4
Weekly Roundup: June 13 – 19
This was my first official week back and I didn’t do too shabby… though, the same can’t be said for the movies I watched: The Den (2013) Preservation (2014) Some … Continue reading Weekly Roundup: June 13 – 19
Weekly Roundup: August 17 – 23
So, for my first week back I was only able to watch two movies.
- Grabbers (2012)
- The Mirror (2014)
These movies were about as far apart as two movies could be:
- Worth Seeking Out (i.e. Worth Paying For): Grabbers (2012) almost made it to this level, but since there really wasn’t anything original about it, I had to bump it down a level.
- Worth Watching via Free Streaming: Grabbers (2012)
- Worth Watching on an International Flight or While Doing Work: Nothing this week.
- Worth Avoiding and Doing Something Better with Your Time: The Mirror (2014)
Grabbers (2012) made it on the list. Also, I’ve gone back over these movies and decided that some reorganization was need. So, here’s the latest draft:
- Housebound
- Pontypool
- The House at the End of Time
- Here Comes the Devil
- The Nightmare
- Grabbers
- Honeymoon
- Starry Eyes
- Stake Land
- The Taking of Deborah Logan
I have orientation at my new job tomorrow and Tuesday. Therefore, don’t expect a full post until Wednesday. That being said, I’m planning on watching the premier of Fear the Walking Dead tonight. I’ll probably write a short post with my (spoiler free) thoughts on this spinoff.
See you tomorrow!

Weekly Roundup: July 20 – 26
It was a slow start to the week, and in the end I only watched three movies… but, man, what movies they were!
- Honeymoon (2014)
- Stake Land (2010)
- Torment (2013)
All three of these movies are worth see (to some extent). I’m very excited that all three ended up being worth my time:
- Worth Seeking Out (i.e. Worth Paying For): Honeymoon (2014)
- Worth Watching via Free Streaming: Stake Land (2010)
- Worth Watching on an International Flight or While Doing Work: Torment (2013)
- Worth Avoiding and Doing Something Better with Your Time: Luckily, there was nothing in this category this week
Two out of the three movies I watched this week made it onto my cumulative top-ten list. The exciting thing is that I would actively re-watch any of the movies on this list… okay… maybe not The Canal… so close!
- Housebound
- Pontypool
- Honeymoon
- Starry Eyes
- The House at the End of Time
- Here Comes the Devil
- The Nightmare
- Stake Land
- The Taking of Deborah Logan
- The Canal
Next week might be another light week. It’s going to be a busy week, but I will try my best to post every day… even if it’s just something short.
See you tomorrow!

Weekly Roundup: July 6 – 12
I played several games of Netflix Roulette this week. All-in-all, I ended up watching four films:
- Alyce Kills (2011)
- Cabin Fever: Patient Zero (2014)
- Here Comes the Devil (2012)
- The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)
Apart from one (really big) miss, most of the films weren’t too bad… therefore, I’ll say it was a good week:
- Worth Seeking Out (i.e. Worth Paying For): unfortunately, nothing really broke through to this level, though a couple were close.
- Worth Watching via Free Streaming: Here Comes the Devil (2012), and The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)
- Worth Watching on an International Flight or While Doing Work: Alyce Kills (2011)
- Worth Avoiding and Doing Something Better with Your Time: Cabin Fever: Patient Zero (2014)
Three of the movies I watched this week made it onto my cumulative top-ten list… which, is pretty exciting. It’s starting to come together nicely… though, I still wouldn’t watch the last one the list (Donner Pass)… give it a couple more weeks and it should be pretty strong:
- Housebound
- Starry Eyes
- The House at the End of Time
- Here Comes the Devil
- The Taking of Deborah Logan
- The Canal
- Neverlake
- Alyce Kills
- Bad Milo!
- Donner Pass
Next week should be a full week… baring any unscheduled events I should have at least five full posts (possibly six, depending on how motivated I am on Tuesday). The only thing I have planned for definite is that I’ll be seeing The Gallows tomorrow night with a friend, so expect a full write up on Tuesday. I’m trying not to go into it with any preconceived notions… but, since I’m dreading it, I guess I’m failing at my goal. Also, I’m trying to figure out which classic horror movies to revisit. I had a lot of fun with the holy trinity of slasher films (I’m still thinking I’ll do Psycho) but it’s time to move on. At first, I was considering the Evil Dead series, but then thought that it would be better to save them for right before the premier of the new series… so, I’m at a lost… I could always just flip through my DVD binders, but I’m also open to suggestions. See you tomorrow! me
