Movies Seen Recently: Faith of Our Fathers, Now You See Me, Ghostbusters
Faith of Our Fathers (2015) – The tightrope that Christian movies — movies made by Christians, for Christians, about Christians — have to walk (and I’m including Mormon movies here) is that they want to (a) deal with the tough life issues that Christian faith can overcome, but also (b) provide family-friendly entertainment. Unfortunately, the best…
Movies Seen Recently: Phantasm IV: Oblivion, Phantasm: Ravager, High Plains Invaders
Phantasm IV: Oblivion (1998) – Despite writer-director Don Coscarelli commenting at the end of the shoot for Phantasm III that he really had no more ideas for the series, this sequel came only four years after the last one (the shortest gap between installments in the series). Of course, that’s enough time for the child…

This installment, released six years after the last one, brings back original actor A. Michael Baldwin as Mike (after having been replaced by James Le Gros in Phantasm II), then promptly…
Movies Seen Recently: The Jungle Book, Bubba Ho-Tep, Phantasm
The Jungle Book (2016) – As is the Disney M.O. these days, this version of The Jungle Book is a live-action remake of their own 1967 animated feature, which was only only very loosely based on a 25-words-or-less summary of the Rudyard Kipling book. In other words, as far as this 2016 version is concerned,…
New B-Movie Poster: Rage of the Were-Piranha
Ta-dah! I’m behind on uploading these to the print-on-demand services that can give you a physical copy, but at least you know it exists!
The recent unpleasantness.
As has been my habit for the last several presidential elections, I made two graphics in reaction to the two possible outcomes of the election, only one of which ever sees the light of day. (Actually, in 2008, I only set about to make the graphics on Election Night itself, and victory was announced for…
