Stylish Blogger Award

-

Lesya, over at Eternity of Dream kindly mentioned me in her Stylish Blogger Award post, so here I go trying to do the same!

Seven facts about me:

1) If you couldn't already tell, I love film. I enjoy going to the movies, and writing about them. While I don't really share my blog with the ones I know in real life, I'm happy to find plenty of other fellow film lovers to share my opinions with.

2) One of the nerdiest things about me is that I love professional wrestling. Sure it's not what it used to be, but I love being a fan. Lately WWE has been showing me while I remain a fan after all these years. I love the rush of it, I don't care the the endings are worked, it takes real athleticism to be a professional wrestler and I have nothing but respect for all of them. They put their bodies on the line 4 nights a week to keep us entertained.

3) I'm a terrible speller. I would be officially screwed without my Spell Check. 

4) I'm fluent in German. I know a little French. (Blame Canada, I live close by.)

5) I love playing soccer, I've been playing since I was 6, all through high school and into college.

6) I'm going to be a first time mom this summer. To know that I'm actually carrying a child inside of me is the most surreal feeling ever. It's scary and beautiful.

7) The one movie that I quote the most is probably Anchorman. That's one of the best comedies ever made in my opinion.

I pass the Stylish Blogger Award onto these seven people. (I'm sorry if you've already been passed this!)

1) Brian at Brian's Film Blog
2) Chic at Cinematically Correct
3) Snobby Film Guy at Pulp Truth
4) Candice at Reel Talk
5) John at John Likes Movies
6) Jose at Movies Kick Ass
7) James at Rants of a Diva

    I studied it in school and in college. Plus my family is from Germany and I still have a lot of relatives there. That helps

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
