Van Helsing

So I decided to watch Van Helsing last night.

I really like this movie, its fun. Its all the old school Universal Studios Monsters but re-booted a bit (minus the mummy). You have the werewolves (no wolfman per-say), count Dracula & The Frankenstein monster. Its constant action & the special effects are pretty cool. This is a good movie for a family to watch, the violence and gore are not over the top and the language is mild.

Super 8

While NOT a horror movie I was flipping through Amazon video and came across this. It had 2 names that interested me, J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg. The description said it was about area 51, unknown cargo a train etc. So sci-fi I said. Sci-fi is kind of Halloween-ish. So I figured I would watch this as my next Halloween movie. All I can say to you is to avoid this movie. I found it horrible, it was more about like a love story for these 12-year-old kids. I was NOT able to even relate to that, I’m too old (feels weird to say).

The Burbs

Ok, I have loved this movie since I was a kid and as a kid its scary for sure.

However, as an adult, I must say this is a comedy for sure, its still a great Halloween movie to watch, especially with the family. It’s a good old school humor/horror mash-up. Some good 80’s material. You can never go wrong with actors like Tom Hanks and Corey Feldman.

Stir of Echoes

I realize I’m a bit behind on my Halloween movies, I apologize for this.

So my movie for the other night was Stir of Echoes. What I like about this movie is it runs the gamut. You have ghosts, physicists, murder, mystery and more. I like the story and find it well executed. It’s not an uber scary movie either for those who don’t them hardcore and it’s a gore fest.

Love This Guy….

I thought this was worth posting. If you were to ask me who is my hero (not a good word) or my idol, someone I look up to then I would have to say this man. Vangelis. Vangelis’s music is what got me into making music, well kinda. I loved the music very much, and when I am really into something do I research, I want to know everything about that thing.

The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is a TV show on AMC it was first a graphic novel worth reading so go check them out (yes them its many graphic novels in fact). It was of course ZOMBIES!!! I love zombie stuff. Oh, I should explain what the show is right?

The Walking Dead is an epic, edge-of-your-seat drama where personal struggles are magnified against a backdrop of moment-to-moment survival. A survivalist story at its core, the series explores how the living are changed by the overwhelming realization that those who survive can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth. They themselves have become the walking dead.

Brainscan

I am one of those people who like to watch something when I go to sleep, I can sleep with it in the background, in fact, I prefer too. Although sometimes just sometimes I end up watching the whole damn movie instead of sleeping. I also seem to have certain movies for this occasion, I don’t put just any old movie in, I have certain sleepy time movies and one of these movies is Brainscan. This is an older movie it came out in 1994 and I must have seen it in 95 on VHS, it’s a funny story because my friend Richie was sleeping over and my mom rented it for us. What’s unusual about this is how much this movie was made for us, did my mom know that or was it a coincidence? Either way, its cool how it ended up, let me explain. Even back then I and Richie were video game kids and at the time I believe the system I owned was sega genesis. So why is this movie perfect for us? Here is the IMDB synopsis.
