Val Kimer was a versatile actor. From the zany comedy, Top Secret to Mavericks nemesis, The Iceman in Top Gun.

25 years later and no Maximus. However, he is replaced with rhinos, rabid baboons and sharks.

After The Witch I feel Robert Eggers has let himself down with some boring and less than stellar films. Things seemed bright when he announced he was remaking Nosferatu.

What went wrong? Join…

This film was well received by viewers and critics but since its release in the mid 90s it has vanished. Long Kiss Goodnight is a new take on the buddy cop action comedies we got in the 80s. With over the top action and smart ass banter peppered in with a few dramatic moments this film deserves to be on the same shelf with such films as Lethal Weap…

Carry On does just that..carries on where 90s action classics like Speed, Passenger 57 and Air Force One left off. See what I did there? Clever opening right? I liked it.

Smile 2 is the sequel to horror smash. CitizenFrame was not a fan of it for it lacked tension, scares and way too many down times. Was not looking forward to this.. Very few sequels get it right by not fixing the issues that plagued the first one. Smile 2 is by far what the Godfather 2 is to its big brother…. superior Join Ciaran and Trevor as they…

Beetlejuice is a Tim Burton classic. From the one liners to the fun effects this film is a staple in 80s cinema.

Enjoy! #MichaelKeaton #TimBurton #AlecBa…

The Substance is something that shouldn't appeal to me..but it does. Why? Body horror is not something I appreciate and in fact avoid.

Enjoy! #DemiMoore #DennisQuaid #Marg…

Halloween 3 was not well received when first released. The misleading title was one of those reasons…where's Michael!? Years have passed and the film has seemed to find an audience. From its fun jingle to its corny effects and hammy dialogue this horror film has found its footing over 40 years later. Join Ciaran and Trevor as they discuss sexy Dr. …

Well as you all know I'm not a fan of this elevated horror. I feel the filmmakers and their audience feel that these types of films are smarter than they actually are. Most importantly (no fault to the filmmakers) the sub genre, Elevated Horror comes off as derogatory to other horror films and other sub genres in it. However, you give me a killer d…

The team will shed some light on this fi…

What do you get when you mix Italian filmmakers Dario Argento and Mario Bava? You get Lamberto Bava.. Director of Demons 1985. This film has not much to say but boy does it say a lot.
