Devil in the Dark (2017) – Two estranged brothers on a camping trip encounter a giant silicon-based pan pizza… wait, that’s a DIFFERENT “Devil in the Dark.” In this, two estranged brothers go camping somewhere in the high Pacific northwest and… strange stuff happens. It’s a very well-acted and well-written production as far as dialogue…

No FanX for me this year.
With FanX (formerly Salt Lake Comic Con) coming up in a week and a half, this is normally the point at which I’d start regaling you with where my table will be in Artists Alley, what panels I’ll be on, what new art prints and originals I’ll have for sale… However, late last week FanX…
Movies Seen Recently: Venomous, VFW, Repeaters
Venomous (2001) – Pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a “dangerous animals” flick directed by Fred Olen Ray (here using the name “Ed Raymond”): Treat Williams stars (and a bunch of people that you’ve probably seen before but never learned their names co-star — shout-out to Marc McClure!); shooting locations for “super-secret government lab”…
Movies Seen Recently: Godzilla vs. Kong, A Bullet For Sandoval, Shaolin Temple

A year later, after working as a bounty hunter trying…

Movies Seen Recently: Patchwork, Black Fox: Age of the Ninja, Any Gun Can Play
Patchwork (2015) – Three twentysomething women wake up after their Friday night to discover that they’ve been Frankensteined into one body, with three minds (career girl, sorority sister, wallflower) butting up against each other. Wackiness ensues. This is a bloody, irreverent black comedy, sort of like if old-school Peter Jackson had been inspired by a…
