What’s worse than a horror film that’s bad? A horror film that’s bad because it’s boring and annoying. This is the issue with Death Valley, a slasher film with an interesting concept, that fails in the execution in multiple respects. Read more
My prose review of Phase IV is up on the blog.https://countzeroor.wordpress.com/2016/11/11/film-review-phase-iv/
Phase IV is an underrated, very weird film – the only dramatic film directed by Saul Bass, who is best known as designing the movie posters and opening credits sequences for the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Read more

My prose review of the 1990 SF action film Dark Angel went up on Monday . I’ll have the link to the latest installment of the Mass Effect LP up a little bit later today.https://countzeroor.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/film-review-dark-angel-1990/

Dark Angel (originally released as I Come in Peace in the US) is the film I wish Predator 2 was. Read more
Quick question for my backers. I’m planning on doing a bonus episode of Legends of the Force giving a general overview of the West End Games books, but without going into details, which will not get a related blog post.So, some brief research on the Ewok films caused me to find that one of the characters from those films shows up later in the Black Fleet Crisis novels, which leads me to my question – would you be interested in videos on the two live-action Ewok films?
My Prose Review of Mr. Vampire is up.https://countzeroor.wordpress.com/2016/11/04/film-review-mr-vampire-1980/
I’m planning on covering more Hong Kong martial arts films in the future, though much of November, blog wise, will be leftover horror films from October. Think of it as pacing yourself with that leftover Halloween candy.
Jackie Chan, as a performer, is frequently compared with Buster Keaton and, as I’ve mentioned in my own review of Police Story at Letterboxd, Charlie Chaplin.
Well, Mr. Vampire, a martial arts horror-comedy film produced by Jackie Chan’s friend and fellow member of the Five Little Fortunes, is what I’d probably describe as the Hong Kong equivalent of the Abbott and Costello Meet… movies. Read more

My prose review of Blood and Lace (no relation to Blood and Black Lace) went up last Friday.https://countzeroor.wordpress.com/2016/10/21/film-review-blood-and-lace-1971/
We continue fighting off Cerebus as we help Mordan Solis evacuate the last Genophage free Krogan female.
This film is not good. Read more
There’s a bit in an episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip where the characters on the series serial-numbers-filed-off version of Saturday Night Live are working on a sketch for Thanksgiving where the turkey spurts absurd, Army of Darkness levels of blood when carved. The bit is not shown, only talked about – with one of the characters commenting about the Prop guy thinking the level of blood is unrealistic with the comment”If it’s just a realistic amount of blood, then it’s… extremely disturbing…”
That is, perhaps, Blood and Lace‘s greatest strength, and its weakness. Read more
