Second Viewing Thoughts on The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
I enjoyed The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001) when I first saw it, but I have to say that I found it much funnier on the second viewing. I guess it's partly that there was a strong feeling of disbelief about the scenes the first few minutes I watche...

I might have been disappointed had I watched this thinking I was going to watch something vaguely reminiscent of Isaac Asimov’s stories, but fortunately I wasn’t that naive. (Will Smith being the star was my first clue…) What we have here may o...
DVD Review - Dark Star
Dark Star was originally a short film created by John Carpenter and Dan O’Brammpm while they were both studying film-making in southern Caliornia. They had no budget whatsoever, a mere four actors (including O’Bannon), and had to be extremely cre...
