Everyone's a Critic - Including Hannah

       "Galaxy of Terror" is an American Sci-fi/horror film from the year 1981. It was directed by Bruce D. Clark who apparently got a reputation for making these sorts of "B Movies" - ones that were lower budget and rarely the main attraction when attending a double feature. I was looking for less mainstream horror films to watch for the month of October and this weird little thing happened to be on Amazon Prime.       It... It was a film. XD It had a beginning and a middle and an end - but I don't feel like they made as much sense as they could have.       Honestly though, it's kind of sad. There was some definite potential here, it just - got fumbled. Not sure why.  *** SPOILERS ***     The whole premise seems to be "crew on spaceship picks up distress call and goes to remote planet to investigate. They find this mysterious pyramid that seems to bring their worst fears to life."     Like, that has a ...

      "Videodrome" is a Canadian science fiction horror film from 1983. James Woods plays the main character, Max Renn, who is a CEO of a television broadcasting company that specializes in sensationalist programs - stuff that isn't respectable and classy, stuff that is meant to get a reaction even if it's outrage. He picks up a weird broadcasting signal from Pittsburgh containing what ends up being called " Videodrome ." It's a program without any plot or point, just lots of sex and violence.         This one caught my attention simply because it was in the "Body Horror" category on the Peacock streaming service. It was directed by David Cronenberg who also directed "The Fly" with Jeff Goldblum, so I took that as a good sign seeing as "The Fly" is an excellent horror film with practical effects that still hold up to this day.      The gore and body horror were super cool and grotesque and the performances of the actors were...

      Oh boy. This show made me sooo angry when it ended. When I was thinking of reviews to put on this blog, reviews that would have obvious joy and/or rage behind them to be interesting reads, this show stood clearly out from the sea of media I've consumed over the years. I recently rewatched it so that I could make sure to recollect my thoughts, refresh my memory, and get this long-time thorn out of my side. Lord knows I can't rest if I have something to say and I'm not taking the time to say it.       "Salem" is an American supernatural horror series that aired on WGN America from 2014 to 2017. It's available at the time of this review on Hulu where I watched it after all these years, but it's also apparently available on Disney+ and Amazon Prime. WGN America doesn't even exist anymore as a TV channel and instead has been rebranded into something called "NewsNation" media company or whatever.       "Salem" consisted of 3 seasons...

      "Death Note" is obviously one of the Greats of the Anime/Manga industry. It features the compelling story of a young man who finds a supernatural notebook that will kill whoever's name is written inside in 60 seconds.       The manga was written from 2003-2006 by Tsumugi Obha and illustrated by Takashi Obata and has sold over 30 million copies in Japan alone. It was made into a full-length anime as well as a live-action series, several films, and even a musical. I have two of the book spin-offs and a DVD of OVAs as well as the entire anime series in my collection. So that in and of itself is probably going to make my 7/10 review seem a bit odd, given how popular and how praise-worthy the story is overall.      I know my beef is probably very specific and I don't know if anyone will agree with me. But I'm gonna stick to my guns because that's just how I feel and I can't change how I feel. Before I get more specific, I think most peo...
