    Black Swan was directed by Darren Aronofsky, not Danny Boyle.

      Yes, it was. Clearly I was asleep when throwing this together so quickly. Edited.

    Somehow Trainspotting is the only Boyle film I've seen, so what do you recommend of his I see next?

      All of them. lol. I think 127 Hours might be my favorite of his, so maybe that one? 28 Days Later is great too.

    The only film of Boyle's that I haven't seen is Shallow Grave and a few TV films he did in the early 2000s. Yet, Trainspotting remains my favorite film of his.

    I like Boyle, but he can a bit hit or miss for me. Trainspotting and 127 Hours are amazing. Slumdog Millionaire is also very good. Have to admit I don't care much for 28 Days Later or Sunshine. I haven't seen any of the others yet.

    The weird thing is that I loved everything that Boyle did earlier, but his last few movies have just been really disappointing for me. He will always remain the guy who spoilt two of my all time favourite books (The Beach and Q&A)

      I never liked The Beach, that's the one of his that I hated it.

    Trainspotting would be my favorite of those as well. Trance might actually be my second favorite Boyle film, though. That movie just works so well for me.

      It was very good, it wasn't my favorite Boyle film, but I'd love to give it a watch again.

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...
