Monster of the Day #1934

Admittedly, the producers of this remake gave themselves a harder task than, say, the Friday the 13th remake, because the actual Craven Nightmares are really good, even great. Even so, you'd think they could have done better than a film with a 15% Rotten Tomatoes score. But hey, I'm sure it had a lot…

Vox Populi: The Doom Patrol

The first episode for the DC/Warner’s streaming service program Doom Patrol was posted officially to YouTube. I meant to check it out because I heard it was relatively good. However, the pilot was only posted for a brief looksee time, apparently, so I missed my chance. Fair enough. However, I saw a scene posted…

Monster of the Day #1928

So on Sunday we watched a lot of misc stuff, including (apparently we hadn't had enough Dolph Lundgren sci-fi on Saturday) Masters of the Universe. There are several monster guys, but towering about them is Frank Langella as Skeletor. His acting here is my go to example of a performance that transcends to an…

Monster of the Day #1927
