Part of the Hollywood Hit Men Project Series - Next in series
I’ve been a movie junkie my entire life. During the many homeless years budgets didn’t allow theater visits and lack of a home means lack of wall outlets to plug in such niceties as televisions or VCRs and DVD players. But that didn’t mean the itch for filmed entertainment went away. Instead, the itch was scratched by books about film - biographies, novelizations, and film surveys.

SciFi Returns To The “Air”waves with The Leviathan Chronicles
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Movies/TV | Leave a Comment
Although I first encountered science fiction while digging through my father’s bookshelves as a child, he first discovered tales of distant worlds, strange beasts, and unusual scientific “discoveries” through his family’s radio. Before television radio dramas and serials were what family time was all about and science fiction was a popular topic for these radio dramas. Television, of course, eclipsed television in the 1950s and the art of the radio drama (both scifi and otherwise) was all but lost. However,…

I first heard the name Cesc Fabregas when he played for Spain in the 2006 World Cup. He’s since gone on to not only become a key player for Arsenal, but now he’s got his own television show as well. Yes, you could say the boy’s on fire, and according to this video you’d be dead on-

As y’all know I was on vacation last week so obviously didn’t make it down to Los Angeles for the May 9th premiere of Frontier(s). However if I hadn’t already had those major plans I would have been all over the opportunity not only because it looks like a solid flick, but also because I think it’s important for people to support the screening of unrated films in actual theaters.
Never forget that there is no law requiring a film to be…

The First Wave of Imported Horror-
When I was a kid all of the best (read bloodiest and most intense) horror films came from Italy. Sure, we had Freddy Kreuger and Jason Voorhees, but tracking down multi-generation VHS tapes of of Italian horror films was what all the true gore aficionados were into.
The Second Wave Of Imported Horror-
