Book Reviews: Rules of the Road

By Adam Lawson on Thursday, July 16, 2020

Time for something completely different. A long time and three blogs ago, I did book reviews. It’s about time to get back to that. As with the movie reviews, for the most part I’m going to keep them short, and I’ll drag along a modified version of the report card. I haven’t decided exactly what …

Movie Review: Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

By Adam Lawson on Thursday, July 16, 2020

Don’t make me use my stuff on ya Two years ago today was my first movie review, so I have to come out of retirement for one more. Not only is Elvis not dead, he’s dying in an East Texas retirement community and being portrayed by Bruce Campbell. A crappy retirement home, at that, and …

Movie Review: Casablanca (1942)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, July 13, 2020

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world… Today is the final Movie Monday review, at least regularly scheduled, so I thought it fitting to end it with my favorite movie of all time: Casablanca. I don’t even know what a close second is, and as an adult I’ve seen …

Movie Review: Evil Dead (1981)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, July 6, 2020

Continuing from last week, which was one of my favorite horror movies, we come to the movie that started an epic trilogy, spawned a remake and a TV series, and apparently has more life in it yet: The first Evil Dead movie, from 1981. Ash and four of his friends, who are mostly annoying, are …

Movie Review: Slither (2006)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 29, 2020

This is it, this is the last regularly scheduled movie review. I’ve done this for almost two years, every week — even if I forgot until almost midnight, I ended up with at least a report card. So I decided to go out with a bang, as it were, by looking at a different sort …

Movie Review: Black Death (2010)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 22, 2020

This movie, set in medieval times, is not a typical outbreak style horror movie. But I gave it a watch to shuffle things up, to see if anything stood out, and also, just because Sean Bean is pretty entertaining. This movie also sports a hell of a cast: Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Tim McInnerny (Game …

Movie Review: The Last Man On Earth (1964)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 15, 2020

I didn’t realize, before I started watching this, that it was also a movie version of I Am Legend. I just saw a movie about a virus and Vincent Price and signed on to watch it. After several just atrocious movies in this pandemic themed series of movies (to the extent I’m ready to give …

Movie Review: Pandemic (2016)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 8, 2020

Another one. I might have to stop watching movies in this genre before the end of June. I didn’t know, going into this, that the movie was meant to be shot similar to an FPS game. I just assumed it was like a found footage thing. But as I watched it, I felt like I …

Movie Review: The Omega Man (1971)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 1, 2020

Hate to do another short one, but it’s my birthday, and… This is a good movie. Technically, I Am Legend is a remake of this, but they are so very different. The most struggle I’ve had so far was where the ran this one, given that it is so similar to the last. I’ve decided …

Movie Review: I Am Legend (2007)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, May 25, 2020

It’s Memorial Day, so this’ll be short: this is a post-apocalyptic story about the after-effects of a world-wide virus that wipes out just about everyone. It’s a good movie. I liked it a lot. In 6th place, it is easily twice as good as the movie I’ve preemptively left in 12th. 1. 28 Days Later …

Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped, and then strangled with her pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to the police just how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound. ”
